Story
Travis King is the worst kind of a**hole. He taunts me for being a good girl and mocks my high standards. He's cruel, crass, and has enough confidence to last two lifetimes. And I hate him. He's always loved getting under my skin, and one night against my better judgment, I let him in my bed. I've succumbed to his manw**re ways, but that doesn't change a thing. Because the King is about to get played at his own game - and lose.

Story
I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her - my sister’s best friend. The last time we were together, she was 18, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life. Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn’t anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I’ve never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

College parties, beer, and one-night stands - that was my life. Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one's asking, then I'm not telling. Drinking and women are still included, although I can't seem to forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would've until I realized she was too young, and I wasn't looking to get thrown into jail.

Story
The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

I saw her first. Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty. I was smitten. But it didn’t matter because she chose him, and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. Now, I’m screwed. From her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways.

Never trust a man who answers the front door wearing nothing more than a pair of low-cut jeans and a panty-melting smirk. That should've been my first sign. I write about guys just like him for a living - sexy and charming, yet reluctant to get into a serious relationship. His body screams sex appeal, but his condescending personality makes him a classic f--kboy. And I want nothing to do with that.

Never trust a man who gets paid to take off his clothes for a living, and then uses it as a pickup line to get girls in bed with him. That should’ve been enough for me to call in sick that day. I’ve worked with male cover models like him before, and they’re all the same - smooth-talking, sexy as sin, egotistical know-it-alls who think they’re God’s gift to women - all traits I know to steer clear of.

I’ve been warned on several occasions about southern men - with their sexy accents, charming manners, and the ability to easily get any woman in bed - which is something I’ll be avoiding. Being a professional photographer has many perks - traveling around the world, calling all the shots, and working with subject matter that isn’t bad to look at - but Colton Langston with his washboard abs and baby blue eyes, could care less about my current project. He’s trouble, I know it, and he’s determined to make me work for every single photo.

I knocked up my best friend's sister. Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news...together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting, and then bam! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist. Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Now I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

It started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…. Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

NOT FOR ME.

Publisher's Summary
Synopsis: Introducing Audiobook One in the Logan & Kayla saga of the Checkmate series from a secret duo of romance authors who teamed up under the USA Today best-selling pseudonym, Kennedy Fox! This second-chance romance will sweep you off your feet from the very first chapter, and have you craving donuts by the final chapter! Are you ready to play the final game?
Logan Knight is a real life knight in shining armor. A detective godsend in a sleek black suit has me thinking less than secretive thoughts. Brooding and mysterious, he's the kind of guy every girl instantly notices. Between his seductive smirk and charming good looks, it's no wonder I can't help the way he makes me feel whenever I'm near him. Too bad he's unavailable - or so he says. He thinks I'm a do-gooder who shouldn't get involved with a guy like him. His past is messy, and his relationships just add to that. He insists the timing is all wrong and he's devoted to his career, but I don't buy that excuse for a second. I see the way his body tenses and his jaw ticks every time another guy is around me. He just won't admit it, but I'm more determined than ever to show him what he's missing. I'm a devoted animal rescuer and I'll risk everything to save them, but when a dramatic turn of events puts both our lives at risk, I'm positive Logan will write me off for good. But when he asks for my help with a personal crisis, I know it's my last chance to finally show him I can handle anything he throws my way - messy past and all. He might think he has me all figured out.

My Two Pennies
I am hooked on Lia Langola and her narrations. This woman captivates me from beginning to the very end. The emotions that are put into each line has you feeling these characters more then you thought you could, I'm hanging on each and every word spoken. I have never wanted donuts as much as I have while being in Logan and Kayla's world, the feels for their story is unbelievable and I just can't get enough. Kennedy Fox is one helluva team and with each book in this series they top themselves. Logan has a bit of a dark past and when you find out what happened it will absolutely break your heart and you just want to be right there by his side for moral support. Kayla hasn't had an easy past herself and yet she is such an incredible giver and so open hearted. The chemistry between the two of them is undeniable and you want to just scream to give into the feelings already. I was consumed by this book and then BAM! Yep, jaw dropped event that had me saying WHAT?! You know what I'm talking about, those love to hate cliffhangers. Have no fear because the final book to this series and book 2 for Logan and Kayla This Is Beautiful is available now. I know that I'm jumping into the final book because this is a MUST READ series. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

You Donut Want to Miss This Book!
What did you love best about Checkmate: This is Dangerous?
Logan and Kayla of course! They have such amazing chemistry and I loved how organic their relationship felt. They were both very relatable and perfectly imperfect.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Checkmate: This is Dangerous?
One word... donuts. I don't think I will EVER look at donuts the same way again! I loved how "creative" the authors were with incorporating Kayla's love of the donut and other fun activities! ;) The imagery is both laugh out loud hilarious and so very sexy and delicious!
Which character – as performed by Lia Langola – was your favorite?
I really loved Logan! He is so closed off and mysterious when we first meet him. Watching Kayla break down those walls made for the perfect slow burn friends to lovers romance. I am always impressed by Lia Langola's narration, especially her male voices. She brings so much depth and emotion to the characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I both laughed and cried with this one! The ending especially made my heart break!
Any additional comments?
Speaking of that ending, listeners should note that this is part 1 of Logan and Kayla's story, so it does end in a cliffhanger. The next book, Checkmate: This is Beautiful, is available now though (I think the audio is coming), so you don't have to wait for the conclusion. Just be aware that this story is a duet.

Holy Cliffhanger Batman - but Loved It!
I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. This is another great duet from the author duo Kennedy Fox, and excellently performed by Lia Langola. This series of duets just keeps getting better. I thought the endings/cliffhangers of the first two duets was nail biting, but this one wins the prize. I so can't wait for the final book to be released on audiobook, otherwise I may have to find time to read with my eyes instead of listening while multitasking. I'm truly loving the world Kennedy Fox has created and look forward to more by this author duo. I highly recommend this audiobook and series.

Intriguing
Let's begin with, there is a cliffhanger! Logan, war hardened and with a past; lives day by day, breathing but not living, until the day he finally lets go and allows a dog loving firecracker into his life.
Cheeky little scenes, quirky comments is the essence of our 2 main characters and also their mutual friends with their own individually liked personalities, opens this story right up and allowed me to enjoy the ride.
If only, I'm a little lost as to the name of this book, it doesn't seem to match the storyline. But maybe that will be more obvious to me in book 2 and bring that story on!

My Thoughts on Checkmate: This is Dangerous
This one took a moment for me to get into it, but once I did, I didn't want to stop. The more I discovered about Logan the more likeable he became for me. And Kayla was too sweet not to like.
They both have secrets and I'm glad everything doesn't get revealed in this story so I can have something more besides hopefully a HEA for these two in the next book.
The ending was very unexpected, but is a great setup for whatever will come next.
Once again the narrator did an great job. I loved all the different voices and personalities she managed to convey with the secondary characters.

So this is the first book that I have read/Listened to by this author and Omg I'm so in love with it & I need book 2 stat. Good thing it was released this week now I just have to get it. I will say that I screamed NO at my phone when it ended because it does end on a cliffhanger. Ugh not a big fan of those but I'm sure the wait is so worth it. I listen to books, because I can get a better feel & connection to the story, as long as the story and the narrator mesh great together in this case both are amazingly great together. The story line and the characters are very relatable. It grows and flows great together. I had been in Kayla’s spot at one point in my life. In love with someone who doesn't feel the same way but still did the friends with benefits. I had tried to move on a few times and it never failed they would somehow send my head spinning on a roller coaster. I finally broke free from that crazy ride. So as I listen to the story, I really felt like I was right there going through it all with Logan. This author & narrator sucked me in and I didn't want it to leave this world. This is hitting all the feelers and more. The narrator Lia Langola is brilliant and brought the soul to this book. She gave it a new life. I am truly amazed by her talents when narrating this story. I hope to hear more from Lia Langola and to read more of the Checkmate series thank you for this 5 star Read one click today!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
I loved listening to this story so much!! Its such a beautifully written book with a great storyline and characters! I read it first, but sometimes its fun to listen to a book too. Lia Langola is so great at doing both parts, her voice is so easy to listen to. She makes the funny parts really stand out. I will definitely choose to listen to more books read by her!

Kayla & Logan Book 1
Kayla and Logan are two troubled souls with a past they would very much like to keep hidden. Kayla is sassy, smart and spontaneous whilst Logan is cautious and guarded. After years of living in the friendzone they finally get together but an unfortunate “accident” threatens to keep them apart.
That cliffhanger was sooo unexpected. Can’t wait for the next book. I love them as a couple.
As per typical fashion Lia Langola’s portrayal of both characters is superb!!!

Kayla Sinclair was raised in foster care and is now an interior designer. She has a group of loving friends but she dreams of having a family of her own especially if that family includes Logan Knight. Who wouldn’t love a girl based on her feelings about doughnuts and animals?
Logan is a police detective but his difficult past has made him closed off and detached. He is attracted to her but feels she deserves someone so much better than him and the problems he carries.
They met through mutual friends but he has rebuffed all the attempts that Kayla has made to become closer but fate has other ideas. He tries to keep his distance but she knows that he is interested and slowly but surely she ingratiates her way into his life and his heart and their chemistry was explosive.
The characters both have pasts they would like to forget, the banter between them humorous and the cliffhanger ending leaves you wanting more. The narrator does a great job and makes it easy to differentiate between the characters.

Holy cliffhanger!!
Ahhh the Queens of cliffhangers have done it again!!!
Kayla is smart, sassy and knows exactly what she wants, I love her inner vixen. Logan is mysterious and broody until you really get to know then all bets are off! The steam factor is off the charts, this pair may even be my favourite of the Checkmate series yet! With secrets still between them and the mother of all cliffhangers, i cannot wait to see what happens next

Lia Langola's performance was perfect!
I really loved this Audiobook for Kayla and Logan's story. Lia Langola completely nailed the performance, at this point her narration would fool you to believe it's duel not a single narrated audiobook. I cannot fault her at all for how she portrayed the characters in This Is Dangerous.
Kayla and Logan are two secondary characters we have got to know a little throughout the series to date and I was intrigued to know more about the mysterious Logan and why he wouldn't give in to the attraction he clearly has for Kayla. Their romance is a slow burn but one I enjoyed, it gave me time to get to know these characters understands what Logan especially has been through. Like any other Kennedy Fox book in this series there are little nuances that hint at the bumps in the road that are speeding towards the Hero and heroine but there are a few twists in the story that I certainly did not see coming!
Logan and Kayla are such likeable characters and a sense of family, supportiveness and friendship holds strong in this story. Both main characters are protectors, putting others before themselves regardless of the consequences. The secrets that are hidden play a part in the disaster that comes into play at the end of the novel and I am waiting on baited breath for Part 2!

love a good tortured hero
Wasn't expecting such a slow burn but it worked for this story arc and their romance. I love single dad stories and Logan was a great dad - I don't think that's a spoiler. Kayla was a bit too nice and sweet for my tastes but I liked her. While it's listed as a second chance romance I don't agree and would classify as more of a friends to lovers. As expected, cliffhanger - yikes! Luckily the next book is available.
Performance was excellent as always.

That ending though...
Lia once again did an amazing job of narration.
How she manages to have a conversation between the three girls and voice all three (seamlessly) absolutely astounds me.
So fantastic.
This group of friends makes me laugh. Their shenanigans - when they get together - never fail to brighten my day.
Logan and Kayla... I’m so glad they finally took a shot at “more than friends”.
Together they are sweet, loving, sexy and fun. Add in a cute little kid and I’m in love 🥰
Some secrets are revealed, while others remain hidden...
And that ending? What a punch to the gut! Ouch, that hurt to hear.

Best yet.
This has to be my favourite of the duets so far (I know I said that before but I really mean it this time!) Getting to know Kayla over the past 5 books, I've been desperate to get to know more about her. and Logan too. The way Kennedy Fox writes, you cant help but fall in love with each new character they introduce and that's definitely the case here. Logan is such a swoon and I need the next book NOW. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Travis King is the worst kind of a**hole. He taunts me for being a good girl and mocks my high standards. He's cruel, crass, and has enough confidence to last two lifetimes. And I hate him. He's always loved getting under my skin, and one night against my better judgment, I let him in my bed. I've succumbed to his manw**re ways, but that doesn't change a thing. Because the King is about to get played at his own game - and lose.
