Summary
Introducing book one in the new Checkmate Duet series from a secret duo of USA Today best-selling authors! This friends-to-lovers romance will have you swooning and laughing from the beginning to the end! Are you ready to play the game?
Drew Fisher is the type of guy every girl wants.
Noble police officer by day, charming prince by night.
He has no idea the effect he has on women, especially me - his little sister's best friend.
I'm the blonde Southern belle who lives up to the cliché, except I have my own quirks. I'm smart as a whip, can change my own oil, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance backward, but he doesn't see that girl.
It'd be easier to forget him if he wasn't my roommate and if the first thing I saw in the morning wasn't his shirtless body covered in tattoos. I've crushed on him since the day we met, but he's made it perfectly clear where we stand. Just friends.
I know I need to move on and accept that his feelings will never be mutual, but every day he smiles at me, I'm left dreaming of what if.
He has girl issues, and I've got a crush I can't deny.
We're friends, but I want more.
One drunken hookup leaves us with much more than a platonic friendship. Pretending it never happened proves to be more difficult than anticipated.
A crazy ex-girlfriend, a dangerous war of stolen glances, and passionate kisses leads to the most reckless battle yet. I won't be a pawn in his game, but I'll play by his rules if it will show him I'm the one worth breaking them for.
Checkmate, Prince Charming.
Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.

Wow!!! What can I say???...
It's time to return to Sacramento and this time it's Courtney and Drew's story...
Drew is a great guy who is hung up on a woman who doesn't deserve him, will he ever see what's been right in front of him?... I love Courtney and her lack of filter, she's been waiting for Drew to really see her for years, is now her time?...
Expect lots of twists, vindictiveness, witty banter, intensely sizzling chemistry, friendship and so much more throughout!!!
This writing duo is amazing at keeping you hooked and leaving you hanging waiting to see what happens next. That ending makes me want to get the next part NOW!!!
And of course the narrator Lia is absolutely amazing and really brings the characters to life. Can't wait to see how their story concludes...

Whaaaaaaat?!
Umm... I have SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.
WTAF?!
Drama, love, crazy, sexy and vindictive are all words I could use to describe this book.
I love Courteney and Drew as a couple.
They love hard and are just perfect for each other.
Mia... I want to do some very nasty things to that vile human.
That ending?! I’m pulling my hair out!
Lia did another amazing job with narration but I desperately NEED THE NEXT PIECE.

4.5 Stars
After reading Travis and Viola's story, I was more than interested to see how Drew and Courtney would get together. The friends to lovers trope always rings my bell, especially when it's best friends and there's plenty of longing. I personally adored quirky Courtney a bit more than Viola and the way she helps Drew loosen up was incredible. Plus seeing those cameos? Perfection. The chemistry between Drew and Courtney is what makes this book so binge able. Add on the incredible audio by Lia Langola and you got another KF winner. I cannot wait to get my hands on a audio of book 2of this duet. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Drew & Courtney Book 1
I’ve had my eye on Drew and Courtney’s love story ever since they were introduced in Travis and Viola’s books. Was I expecting this?? No, I was not!!!
Kennedy Fox is killing me with these cliffhangers but I can’t stop devouring their books.
Looking forward to the next book in the duet.

Loved Drew and Courtney
Fun, drama free, low angst, friends to lovers. Just what I wanted to listen to. I need part 2 right now. While it can be a standalone their story begins in the previous books so I would suggest listening to them first to really understand everyone. Excellent narration.

Off the charts steam!
My review consists of 3 words. 🤬Mia effing Montgomery 🤬
I reeeeeeally hate her. Checkmate: This is Reckless is likely to be the 🔥hottest🔥 Kennedy Fox book I’ve read/listened to to date. It’s steam factor was off the charts. The best part about this book was there was a good chunk of the Bishop Ranch thrown in 😍 I knew the ending was going to be a doozy because everything was just too good for Drew and Court, but I did not expect that. Looking forward to answers in the next part of the story.

Drew & Courtney!
Courtney has been in love with her roommate Drew for a while but he has never seen her as more than a friend due to his relationship with his on again/off again girlfriend Mia. One night changes everything but between a traumatic event and his past things are about to become complicated.
Drew is a police officer and the brother of Courtney's best friend. He has accepted everything his drama filled girlfriend has thrown at him until she forces him to choose between her and Courtney which turns out now to be a choice at all however she isn't going to let him go so easily.
Drew has deserved so much more than the treatment he has received from Mia and Courtney is everything he needs in his life and more. This is the first part of a duet that ends on a cliffhanger that leaves us wondering what the future holds for this couple. The narrator did a great job at bringing out all the emotion and angst of the story.

A fantastic friends to lovers romance
After finishing the first duet in the Checkmate series for Travis and Viola, I couldn't have been more curious to listen to Courtney and Drews story. I think this is one of my favourite friends to lovers romances, Drew and Courtney's chemistry is so clear despite them being best friends. Our Hero and heroine have been living together for over 2 years and yet still Mia *eye twitches and growls* is still around being her repulsive self. When the night of Travis and Viola's wedding finally leads to a drunken rendezvous between Drew and Courtney, the fun really begins.
Lia Langola did an amazing job on the Audio for this one, she really established her vocal performance for both characters making it really easy to follow for a solo narration audiobook. Drew and Courtney couldn't be better matched and I loved getting to know what a down to earth, adorable guy Drew really is. This book had a playfulness about and a levity I loved. Once Drew realised that Courtney really is the girl for him he had no problem putting Mia in her place and showing his stern police officer authority (hot dayum). I was happily enjoying the banter and happy place the story was taking me, until the last minute of the audiobook when holy moly! what in the ever loving........was that cliff hanger *gasps, blinks, picks jaw up off floor* Needless to say I am off to grab the next book in the story before I go insane wanting answers!

My Thoughts on This is Reckless
I was so excited for Courtney and Drew’s story after finishing Travis and Viola’s duet. I fell in love with both characters when they were in the supporting role, so I was extremely excited to see them move into the starring position. And from the very beginning this story did not disappoint. This was friends to lovers at its finest. Even if one of the friends always wanted it to be more. This was steamy and funny and romantic and just fantastic. I loved the way it unfolded and then as it was building and the different twists and obstacles were thrown in, I was even more hooked on what was going on. And then that ending! I’ve hated Mia for a while now, but it really and truly blew my mind what an utterly hate-able character Kennedy Fox created when I read that ending. I’m so anxious to see what’s going to happen in part two of this duet, and yet I can’t wait to get started.
I am so happy Lia Langola performed this book. She’s one of the narrators that I love listening to. She not only brings the right emotion to the story at the right time and does a good job of giving different tones to the different characters, but she also has a pretty dang good male voice. She’s one of those few narrators I don’t mind having as the only one even when there are male and female chapters because her male voice is really good.
Overall, this was another great story by Kennedy Fox and even though I normally don’t love cliffhangers, this one was expected and was so good it’s kind of hard to mind it when you know that just means there’s more story to come.
