Wicked Force is another sexy, and emotional story In the Wicked Horse Vegas world. It also kicks off Bennetts new Jameson Force Security series, which I am so excited about. This story introduces us to sexy Brit, Kynan McGrath. He is hired by his friend, Jerico Jameson, to work for his new security firm, The Jameson Group. He is an adrenaline junkie but is resigned that he will have to be a bodyguard at times as well. What he wasn't expecting with his first assignment was Joslyn Meyers. She is a young up and coming singer but instead of being rude, she is smart, kind and fun. They click right from the start and their fiery chemistry can't keep them apart. But Joslyn's mom and manager has big plans for her and having a distraction in the form of Kynan will not be allowed. This was a quick, sexy story that made me care for both Kynan and Joslyn. Kynan is so strong and supportive, only wanting Joslyn to be happy. Joslyn is young but passionate, and caring. They are star crossed lovers that have so much working against them, but I was so hopeful for them both. I was definitely not ready for this to end! This is a great start to their story, building a great foundation to their love. I loved this exciting, emotional and sexy story and can't wait for more about them and Sawyer’s new Jameson Force Security series!

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review** Sawyer Bennett is one of my go to authors and it's another great offering from her. Wicked Force is part of the Kristen Proby crossover series, but regardless if you've read any Proby book's, you can still enjoy this one. We are introduced to Kynan McGrath when he is hired by his buddy Jerico Jameson to work for his newly formed security firm The Jameson Group. His first assignment is to be the bodyguard for up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers. Joslyn's stepmother feels that she is in danger with trajectory that her career is beginning to take and so she hires The Jameson Group to make sure she is protected. It's clear from the moment that Kynan and Joslyn meet that there is a connection there. With the nature of their relationship, it's clear they shouldn't get involved with one another, but will they give into their attraction or will their careers end up keeping them apart in the end? It's hard not to like both of these characters. Certainly Kynan is strong, confident and he boasts a British accent, which is never a deterrent. While Joslyn is still trying to find her footing, she's got a good head on her shoulders and she has great instincts, not to mention her singing talents. I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to Sawyer Bennett's upcoming Jameson Force Security series as well!
