A one night stand with no names exchanged.
Six years later, she comes face to face with her baby’s father again.

Aurora Michaels isn’t the same girl she was that spring night. No longer homeless and living in the back room of a diner where she worked, she’s now a member of the wealthy Kingston family. She has her daughter, a career and has adjusted to her new normal.

Billionaire Nick Dare is a man who takes charge. He runs the hotel arm of the family empire and his life revolves around business and travel. A quick stop at his brother's movie premier has him doing a double take.

The woman who haunts his dreams is there. He’s been given a second chance and is determined to make the most of it.

When he learns about their daughter, Nick becomes a man on a mission. Aurora and their child are his. Even if he has to knock down Aurora’s emotional walls to prove it.

 

An explosive reconnection! Carly Phillips is outdoing herself on the steamy goodness when she has a Kingston collide with a Dare and fireworks ensue in JUST ONE DARE! We’ve all known we’d one day uncover the secrets that Aurora brought with her into the Kingston family when she was discovered early on in the series as a long-lost sibling … we just never could have imagined they might include a side of the scrumptious Dare family! I loved every single minute of Aurora and Nick!

Aurora is sweet and sincere and seeing the mother and philanthropist she’s worked hard to become is endearing.

Nick is self-assured and yummy and I loved seeing them reconnect.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a high-powered family of close-knit siblings who are always there for one another and support each other through the happily ever afters that come knocking.

When Kynan McGrath approached me about joining Jameson Force Security, I jumped at the chance. Just call me Dozer Burney, one half of the genius duo who keeps the team at the forefront of security technology. The move from NASA to Jameson also put me back on the east coast, closer to those who mean the most to me.

Jessica Anderson has been my best friend since college. A single mom who found herself mixed up with a dangerous man years ago, she’s been living a safe, quiet life in Miami after helping police put him behind bars. We both knew her safety, and that of her daughter, was reliant on him staying locked up. So when I see an alert that he’s escaped from his maximum security prison, I know where he’s heading to exact his revenge.

Now it’s a race against time to get to Jessica before he does.

Protecting her with my life is easy, because there’s one thing I’ve never admitted to anyone, not even myself—I have been in love with Jessica Anderson since the day I met her. And if we both make it out alive, I’ll make sure she knows it every day for the rest of our lives.

 

Non-stop intrigue topped off with a sweet love story! Sawyer Bennett is known for wrapping the tough guys of Jameson Force Security around her reader’s hearts as they jump into mission after mission and CODE NAME: REVENGE is keeping the intrigue and suspense high like normal but it’s also throwing in a side of sweet when Dozer brings his BFF into the mix. I loved every minute!

Dozer is lovable and endearing and watching him be thrown into a situation that is a little out of his brainiac wheelhouse is fulfilling.

I loved Jessica and everything about the love and friendship they have shared through the years.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful series that always has a happily ever after to wrap it up after keeping us on our toes the entire story to see what’s going to happen to the guys next.
