This book had me hooked right from the start!!! I forgot everything around me while listening and or reading! Josie works for Jameson and is on a mission to catch a Russian trafficker - but unfortunately she went out on her own and gets caught - her only way to survive is to jump in the very cold water of the Salish sea! Finn - an art gallery owner by day and an art smuggler at night - is a witness of Josie jumping into the water and jumps to her rescue. Can we say it’s love at first sight with these 2? Well, definitely attraction at first sight! This book is thrilling, and Sawyer Bennett has a way with writing these characters in this series! I’m a fan since the beginning, the OG Jameson’s! It’s keeping you hooked, if you want it or not, doesn’t matter. I read and finished this book well past my bedtime!!! The narrators are some of my favorites, so I absolutely enjoyed listening to them!

I wasn't quite sure that this Code Name Harbor would be something that I would like. But I like almost everything Sawyer writes and decided to give it a try. It's a good thing or else I would have missed a great read. Who doesn't like a smart powerful woman and a handsome, wealthy man with a mysteries background and a hero to boot. Joise who works for a top level security company while out on recon she runs into some trouble and her life is in serious danger. While trying to survive a savior comes in a rescues Joise. Finn the hero has a complicated background and should keep his distance from Joise, but something tells him to save her. Finn is glad he did but that in doing so puts his life at risk. Very entertaining story.

Action packed, this started with a bang and had me holding on until the end. Josie, an intelligence analyst for Jameson Security gets caught scoping out a Russian slave ring, and when they are going to kill her, she jumps into the ocean. She is found by Finn, a man who has made smuggling his life, but sparks fly when he and Josie get together. The Russian doesn’t believe Josie died in the ocean and is hunting for her. This fast paced story has intrigue and romance and in Sawyer Bennett’s hand it is developed into a book that read like a movie. Another winner here!

Code Name: Harbor (E-Book)

The rule breaker and the law enforcer, a true opposites attract romantic suspense. Josie McAdams, Jameson Force Seattle’s new lead intelligence specialist and former NSA analyst is determined to catch a Russian human trafficking ring operating around the docks of the Pacific Northwest, and she’s willing to defy orders to get the evidence she needs to put them behind bars. Unfortunately she finds herself fighting for her life in the middle of the Puget Sound, and her life is now in the hands of another smuggler, super rich and extremely sexy, Finn Marlowe. Can Josie keep Finn’s secrets and catch the bad guys? Will the FBI believe their story, and will the powers that be at Jameson Force Security allow Josie to continue in her intelligence position? Not only is Josie facing the consequences of her actions that night, so too is Finn, who is dealing with flack from his own team, including a very jealous best friend. The Russian’s are out for blood. Who can Finn and Josie trust? What a story, highly entertaining with hands on action throughout, and of course the love story at the centre of it all. I love Josie and Finn’s commitment to each other, when Finn falls, he falls hard, and he’ll do anything to protect what’s his. Finn’s quayside activities are a morally grey area, and for Josie, ethical boundaries are definitely crossed, in this sexy forbidden romance. I listened to the audiobook alongside reading the ebook, and Erin Mallon and Sean Masters nailed it. The characters brought the story to life perfectly, the chemistry between them was everything I would expect from Josie and Finn. I loved it. I received advanced copies of both the ebook and the audiobook. This is my honest review.

Code Name: Harbor (E-Book)

Code Name: Harbor is an exciting and addictive romantic suspense that kept me hooked from beginning to end. Josie McAdams, a rule-following intelligence specialist for Jameson Force Seattle, and Finn Marlowe, a smuggler living on the wrong side of the law, make an unlikely but irresistible pair. As they work together to bring down a dangerous human trafficking ring, they are forced to confront their own assumptions about trust, loyalty, and right versus wrong. I loved the chemistry between Josie and Finn. Their relationship develops naturally, and the tension between them is balanced perfectly with the suspense and action. Finn's protective nature and Josie's strength and determination made them easy to root for. The Seattle waterfront setting added a unique atmosphere, and the high-stakes mission kept the pages turning. Beyond the romance, I enjoyed seeing both characters grow as they learned to trust each other and fight for something bigger than themselves. Overall, this was a thrilling, emotional, and satisfying read with wonderful characters, plenty of action, and a heartfelt romance. Another great addition to the Jameson Force Seattle series!

Josie is on a recon mission alone when she is found out and barely made it alive, all because of Finn and Marcus who saved her. She never questions Finn directly for his involvement with the russians but being an analyst nothing is off the board. Finn is an art gallery owner, a bit of a bucaneer and mysterious businessman. Suspense, drama, betrayal and strong friendships on both sides, and heroics will take you on a ride and something that wil surprise you. Chef’s kiss Sawyer Bennett!

This is one of those books that you can sit and read in one sitting and not fill any ounce of guilt. I had a few small job to achieve throughout my day, and I still managed to finish this before dinner. I feel the narrators had a part in that too. Sean Master and Erin Mallon were amazing with Finn and Josie, and I was hooked on their depictions from the first chapter. These Code Name books all have a special forces action happening within a romance and I think this particular story is one of my favourites from the whole Jameson Universe. It has the action that keeps you anticipating what's next and of course the romance. Maybe it was also that good and (not so) bad came together to eliminate evil and the good guys win that makes this well worth the read.

Code Name: Harbor (E-Book)

I love a good romantic suspense book and this one has a heavy pour of both romance and suspense. Honestly at first I was questioning how Josie & Finn were going to work out. I knew they would but would their morals be compromised? Would they have to compromise their ethics to fight for their love? I was fully invested to see how this played out. Finn has made his own way after not the greatest upbringing. So when he finds a girl in the dark on the harbor, he follows his moral compass and helps save her from the freezing water. While Finn might be a criminal, he still has empathy and kindness inside him. What he does criminally isn’t necessarily hurting anyone. Josie is working on taking down a human trafficking ring & she needs Finn’s help. They follow a fine line for a while until their truths are shared… and they realize there’s no stopping the fall into love that’s happening all so quickly. I really liked the suspense but the narrators for Finn & Josie were great. They made them feel more real & you could actually feel the emotion as they told the story. Definitely recommend the audio with this story!

I loved the first Jameson Force series, and it's Seattle branch is coming in hot. Code Name : Harbor follows Finn, an art dealer with a side gig, and our favorite analyst Josie. Things start off cool with Josie being rescued in the water, but heat up fast as Finn protects her from a very hot headed foe. Needless to say this book kept me up past my bedtime as I didn't want it to end. If you like suspense, a lot of page turning, and a kid from the wrong side of the tracks that makes something of himself and the girl that sees him for who he is, pick this one up.

It's so good! It has action, a couple of villians, good heartfelt and honest moments. Very good tension too. Finn and Josie just seem to fit. There's full transparency between them, which I found refreshing. And with her dad too! Plus I really liked that the story showed a very smart man recognizing how valuable and enriching it could be to have a partner. A little pivot goes a long way.

4.5 Stars! I love this exciting and seductive series! Josie and Finn's forbidden romance is captivating, raw, and passionate. Josie McAdams is an intelligence specialist for Jameson Force Seattle. When she runs into trouble on a mission, she is rescued by a mysterious man. Finn Marlowe deals in art by day and contraband by night. He is captivated by the beautiful and intelligent woman he rescued, but that puts him and his team in danger. When Josie asks him to help with her case, he knows he needs to help her so he can keep her safe. Even though Josie and Finn are on opposite sides of the law, they can't ignore the fiery pull between them. As they get closer, and their hearts become involved, will they be able to find a future together? When their worlds collide, and their lives are in danger, will they be able to keep each other safe? This story is so thrilling and breathtaking and my heart was pounding as I feared for their safety at times. I loved Josie and Finn together, they were opposites who made each other whole, and their chemistry is off the charts. Of course the whole Jameson family are essential to this story being over protective and supportive, but having fun together as well. I am enjoying getting to know this new Jameson Force Security team and I can't wait for their next adventure! The narration by Erin Mallon and Sean Masters was flawless. They were so perfectly cast to bring Josie and Finn to life with all their convictions, courage, vulnerabilities, tenderness and passion. Their inflections, and timing were spot on and I was riveted throughout. They made this already exhilarating story even better!

Code Name: Harbor (E-Book)

Where the water runs deep and the danger runs deeper, two enemies will risk everything to survive. Josie McAdams has built her life on rules. As an intelligence specialist for Jameson Force Seattle, she’s made a career out of turning chaos into order and catching the bad guys before they strike. But when a mission on the docks goes wrong and a handsome smuggler saves her life, Josie is forced to face the one rule she’s never dared to break—trusting a criminal. Having spent years running contraband through Puget Sound’s fog-shrouded channels, Finn Marlowe is no stranger to walking the razor’s edge between outlaw and survivor. When the beautiful woman he pulled from the water approaches him for help dismantling a human-trafficking ring, he’s hard-pressed to turn her away. When he discovers the same network he’s been working for is behind the trafficking, Finn knows he could lose everything by getting involved, but turning a blind eye could cost him even more. She’s sworn to the law. He lives outside it. But as their uneasy alliance deepens, attraction sparks into something neither can control—and every secret they keep could be the one that gets them killed. When the tides turn and bullets start flying, Josie and Finn discover that sometimes the only safe harbor to hide… is in each other’s arms. Loved Josie and Finn’s story! I was hooked within the first few pages and couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between these two was fantastic, and I loved watching their uneasy alliance turn into something so much more. Finn was such a great character—definitely the kind of complicated, slightly dangerous hero I love. The suspense kept me turning the pages, and the twists and action made this such an entertaining read. Another great addition to the Jameson Force Seattle series!
