The Recommended Reading Order

Sawyer Bennett’s bestselling romantic suspense series follows a group of elite, highly trained operatives working at a private security firm based in Pittsburgh. While every full-length novel in the series is written to be enjoyed as a standalone romance, reading them in order allows you to fully experience the team’s close bonds, office banter, and the progression of the firm’s covert operations. The definitive reading order, including the essential prequel novella, is as follows:

  • Wicked Force (Prequel Novella – 2019)
  • Code Name: Genesis (Book 1 – 2019)
  • Code Name: Sentinel (Book 2 – 2019)
  • Code Name: Heist (Book 3 – 2020)
  • Code Name: Hacker (Book 4 – 2020)
  • Code Name: Ghost (Book 5 – 2020)
  • Code Name: Rook (Book 6 – 2020)
  • Code Name: Grace (Book 6.5 Novella – 2020)
  • Code Name: Tiara (Book 7 – 2021)
  • Code Name: Disavowed (Book 8 – 2021)
  • Code Name: Revenge (Book 9 – 2022)
  • Code Name: Omega (Book 10 – 2022)

Wicked Horse Vegas: The Prequel Connection

Before Kynan McGrath launched Jameson Force Security, he was introduced as a key figure in Sawyer Bennett’s popular Wicked Horse Vegas series. To get the complete backstory of how this high-intensity universe began, readers should start with Wicked Force (Book 4.5 in the Wicked Horse Vegas series). This crossover novella serves as the direct prequel, depicting Kynan's time joining the firm (then known as The Jameson Group) and his first meeting with pop star Joslyn Meyers, whom he is hired to protect.

While you can leap straight into the main series without reading the prior series, Wicked Force acts as the foundational bridge. It establishes Kynan’s motivation for running the security force and details the spark of his romance with Joslyn, which later evolves in the first full-length novel.

What to Know Before You Start

The Jameson Force Security series takes place in a shared universe, which means characters from other Sawyer Bennett series occasionally make cameo appearances. For example, Kynan McGrath, Cruce Britton, and Saint Bellinger cross over into the author's popular sports romance series in Kane (Book 8 of the Arizona Vengeance series). This light integration adds depth to the shared universe without requiring readers to keep up with both series to understand the plots.

The overall tone of the series is characterized by protective alpha heroes, capable and independent heroines, strong team camaraderie, and a blend of high-intensity operational suspense with high-heat romance. Since the stories are set primarily in Pittsburgh, they carry a gritty, steel-town aesthetic combined with the high-tech, modern equipment of a private intelligence firm.
