Code Name: Genesis

<b>DNF @ 7% </b><br /><br />▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬⋆▬ <br /><br />WTF!? Seriously, what kind of hero is that?<br />I hate, HATE when the “supposed” hero does things like he did.<br />Not to mention that in the beginning his actions were not encouraging, well it only worsened for me in the following pages...<br />It was enough for me so I'm calling it quits.

In theory this should have been just my cuppa tea but sadly Kynan (I really can't call him the hero!!) ruined it for me. The book starts off with him having sex with another woman - no issues there, he was footloose and fancy free. What I abhorred was that he did it in front of a woman who was deeply traumatised after being attacked and almost strangled by her stalker, and who also happened to be his ex. Who does that? A bloody big fat baby who had issues because she dumped him (rightly or wrongly) TWELVE years ago. Seriously? He continued to be an utter, unadulterated arsehole to her, and she's such a bloody push over she let him! What an odious pillock he was.<br /><br />There was no grovel, no real apology either. Instead it was all just brushed away or disregarded. Hello - can you say underdeveloped plot? What should have been an angst filled feels-fest fizzled into almost nothing, though we did get the momentous TSTL occasion where she almost got herself killed ..... again. Sigh.<br /><br />Another thing that annoyed me, if you're going to write the character as British then get the terminology right. Sodden is wet, soggy, saturated. SODDING (British slang) was the correct word to use. <br /><br />Really disappointed with this one.

Favorite Quotes:<br /><br />We named him after Tony Stark.” “You’re kidding me?” “I never kid about the Avengers,” she says in all seriousness.<br /><br />My mind races, trying to remember if I ever learned anything from watching MacGyver about how to help me out of this situation. Without a paper clip, it seems hopeless.<br /><br /><br />My Review:<br /><br />Joslyn had it all, a successful career, a bank full of money, lovely homes, a dangerous stalker, a bitter ex, and a deceitful stepmother. Yikes, I’ll stick to my quiet life of obscurity, thank you very much. The storylines alternated between suspense and sensual romance, with a side order of family drama for additional flavor. The book was written from a dual POV of the two main characters of Kynan and Joslyn, who honestly, were not totally likable. Kynan may have been a sexy Brit with a swoony accent yet he was also a crass prick, and Joslyn was all too gullible. I did pick up a new word for my Brit Vocabulary List with a word I’ve noticed often but never actually knew exactly what it meant - duffer - which according to Kynan means a useless person. Silly me, all this time I thought it was a bad golfer.

Then he learns how serious things are and decides he’s the one for the job. He would catch the psychopath that was after Joslyn, and then they would part ways.

Her life lately had become about fear, survival, and fighting her feelings for Kynan that are resurfacing. He’d once been the love of her life, and being around him was difficult.

They’d split up twelve years ago after she thought he’d betrayed her, and it hadn’t been pretty.

I first met this couple in their novella Wicked Force, and was happy to get more of their story as they find their way back to one another. This was a fantastic second chance romance full of love, passion, action, mystery, danger, and excitement. I really enjoyed it and look forward to more in this series! <br><br><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2r7rn9l" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> <img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1518558984i/25054600._SX540_.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" width="365" height="200" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"> </a><br><br>***NOW AVAILABLE***<br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/2H4SK1u">https://amzn.to/2H4SK1u</a>

I've been dying to get his story since I started that series so then when I learned his book was also going to be starting a whole new series I was even more excited. He and Joslyn have also already had two novella's, one in the Cock Tales anthology and then a crossover novella, <i>Wicked Force</i>. I haven't read the novellas but I had no problem reading this book without those. This book was fully set in the present so it's not needed to read those if you don't want. <br><br>When this book opens up it's been 12 years since Kynan and Joslyn last saw each other. But the chemistry between them is still pretty heated, even if they don't want it to be, and being forced together while Joslyn's life is in danger only adds to that. I loved seeing how they were both fighting the attraction that was there, both for their own reasons, and it really added a lot of intrigue to the story. <br><br>We also got to meet a few new characters that will eventually get their own story and now I'm even more ready to get the rest of this series. I can already tell that these characters are going to have brilliant books. Overall, this is a great start to a new series and a definite must read. <br><br><i>ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.</i>

Yay I’m a winner! Can’t wait to start this one...although why is Charlie Sheen on the cover?:(<br /><br />I had a few minor issues, but still pretty good. Review to come...maybe.<br /><br />Update:<br />So I've had time to think about this one and what I want to say...<br />I love Sawyer Bennett as a writer. All her books have been page turners for me. Sometimes I have trouble with her heroines, never with her heroes. But to be truthful, I wasn't in love with this hero, Jameson Force Security owner Kynan McGrath. I mean he was ok, sometimes a bit assholish, but he just didn't wow me. There was one thing that bugged me about him--and this was plot related--but made me think that his early relationship with the heroine, pop singer Joslyn Meyers, wasn't that important to him. Let me backtrack...<br /><br />So Joslyn and Kynan had a relationship 12 years ago when she was 19 and he was 26. She was a rising pop star and he was part of her security detail. The relationship was serious and lasted for months before Joslyn abruptly called it off and effectively disappeared from his life. We're told than Kynan took it badly. But he never went after her. Never demanded a reason why. Let 12 years pass, never really followed her career. Just carried a chip on his shoulder and never tried to have another relationship with a woman. She comes back into his life when a stalker is after her and she wants the best security (naturally Kynan's company) to catch this guy. He's resentful at first, and tries to hurt her emotionally. Until he realizes that he does still have feelings for her, but does she have them for him?<br /><br />To her credit, the author doesn't drag it out and we find that the breakup was set in motion by outside forces. I'm giving Joslyn a pass since she was only 19 and naïve--she believed something about Kynan told to her by someone who she thought wouldn't lie to her. But I can't understand why Kynan just let her go. Did he think poorly of himself, thinking that of course no one could love him? Was there something in his past that made him accepting of rejection? And then I got to doing a bit of research, and found that there is a novella that these two characters were a part of--should I have read that first? Maybe the answers were in that book?<br /><br />Maybe I'm just being nit-picky, but the fact that he just let her go made me think that their earlier relationship wasn't that special. And it made me a little doubtful about their rekindled relationship.<br /><br />Anyhow, the rest of the story was pretty typical of an RS: crazy stalker after the heroine and the hero vows to protect her and that NOTHING will happen to her on his watch...uhoh, you know what that means. The heroine makes a too stupid to live decision which puts her in peril. Sigh.<br /><br />No real complaints about the writing or the heat between the H/h. Being the first book in the series, there was some set up involved and introduction of future main characters--I'm especially interested in reading a story about computer hacker Bebe. There's that to look forward to.<br />So maybe not one of my very favorites from SB, but a solid read.<br />An extra 1/2 star for her shout out and beautiful description of Pittsburgh.:)<br /><br />4 stars
