Release & Review: Code Name Ghost

Code Name: Ghost (Jameson Force Security, Book #5)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: June 30, 2020

I knew the risks of this job when I signed on with Jameson Force Security. Knew my time as a marine would prepare me for the danger I would face. But no amount of training could have ever prepared me for the helplessness of watching my teammates die, the agonizing mental and physical pain of torture, or the despair of captivity.

Returning home to Pittsburgh following a mission gone wrong, I am riddled with guilt and haunted by nightmares. I spend my days trying to regain the parts of myself I lost in that desert, the pieces that made me the Malik Fournier I once was. While the physical effects of my torture are fading, the emotional ones are proving much more stubborn and I find solace from the last person I should ever seek such comfort.

Anna Tate lost even more than I did in that mission. Now a widow and a single mom to the daughter she gave birth to shortly after her husband’s death, Anna offers me comfort I don’t deserve. As my feelings for Anna grow, I worry that once she learns the truth about what happened, she’ll turn her back on me.

I pull her to me just as tightly as I push her away. Hoping this forbidden love will save me from the ghost I’ve become.

4.5 Stars

This is the 5th book of the series. We have heard of Malik all along. He was part of a mission gone wrong and held hostage for 5 month. Fans of the author's hockey series will also recognize Malik's pro hockey playing brothers. It's a great cross over read since we do see a fair bit of his family in this book. 

We have met Anna before as well. Her husband was killed in the mission gone wrong. She is a single mom to a sweet baby girl. Both characters have SOOOOO much baggage.  Can they find their way through the darkness in time to save their hearts?  With the help of their friends and family, there does seem to be reason to hope. 

This is a slow burn story. Friends to lovers. Lots of dealing with PTSD. The story is about the characters. We don't see as much about the Jameson group activities. There isn't really any suspense. These are two very real people trying to find validity in their world. The author brings us a story  of hope. And these days, that is honestly what we all can use.  

Take the emotional ride of healing with Malik and Anna. You will be rewarded greatly.
