Publisher's 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.

Good read.

The love story between Courtney and Drew was anticipated, and it did not disappoint. You meet the characters early on in the series and I could not wait to read their story. I was glad that the disagreements they had were handled right away. Cliffhanger 😱 can’t wait to see how it ends.

5 This is Reckless Star


Ok I am not going to lie, I enjoyed book 1 and 2… BUTTTTT
I LOVE BOOK 3!!!

What a great book.. First… MIA needs to jump off a cliff.. A reallllly tall building.. Jump out of a plane no harness..

Ok is that mean?? NO! No it’s NOT! Haha.

Sooo Drew has the off and on girlfriend Mia.. (the devil incarnate.)
And he now has a roommate is sisters best friend Courtney, and well he never saw Court as anything other than his little sisters best friend. Until he doesn’t any longer…. Ohhh yeah

Court has has a bit of a crush on Drew but knew nothing would come of it because well besties brother and all that.

But then it happens!! And sooooooo much goes down.. No I am NOT going to tell you haha, you’re going to have to read to find out what exactly let’s just say you’re going to swoon and be happy and mad and at the end you’re going to be like WHAT THE EVER LOVING… F Word!

I love Court and Drew! I can’t wait to see what is going to go down in the next book I am not a cliffy kind of girl but I have to say this one is a great way to keep my interested because I NEEEEEEED to know what’s going to happen next.

I loved Lia’s narration in this book I swear her male voices… Is it wrong to have a crush on them? What!! It can happen. :p No judgement. :)

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Eye opener

This book is one of the many reasons why I love Kennedy Fox. It's a wild ride that reaches deep inside and the ending had me screaming.

One of the best listens!!

I love Drew and Courtney!! This is one of the best books and this is one of the couples that have stuck with me!! The friendship that turns to love is such a sweet and endearing thing to read. Plus you add in the steam that KF does flawlessly!!
I listened to this in one sitting and loved every minute if it. Lia does an awesome job narrating both POV.

kept me wanting to read more!!!

I loved this book!!! It was an interesting friends to lovers story. The narrator, Lia langolia did such a great job with this story. She added so much more emotion and by giving the characters different vooces, even southern accents!! Definitely want more of Drew and Courtney. #team drewtney

Queens of a Cliffhanger!

Omg. That was amazing and I’m sure I say this every time but Kennedy Fox are the Queens of a cliffhanger. I’ve been looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint.

This story centers around Courtney and Drew. Courtney is Viola’s BFF and Drew is Viola’s brother. Courtney has had a crush on Drew for years and the two are living together as roommates. In this book we get Viola and Travis’s wedding and the two end up having a very steamy and epic night together. Drew has finally dumped Mia and he realises his feelings for Courtney.

My favourite part is when they go to the Bishop Ranch. Yes, that’s right. She’s their sister! That took me too long to connect together. I read the Bishop brothers first before I started at the beginning of their book queue. I loved Courtney. She’s a feisty Texas girl who doesn’t put up with no nonsense. And Drew? Whew, he’s so swoony.

I can’t wait for part two of this duet. These two never disappoint.

Lia Langola is so talented! Her male voice is amazing, it makes you think she’s working with a co-narrator. I love everything she narrates.
