Story
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.

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.

Wedding bells are the last thing on 22-two year old Riley Bishop’s mind, but that’s exactly what he hears after waking up in Vegas next to a woman he just met - his new wife. He never saw her coming, but she might be worth the risk. Zoey Mitchell is high on life, free-spirited, and adventurous. However, learning she married a rowdy cowboy after a night of partying is not what she expected - even for her.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

But, thanks to the blizzard of the century, I’m trapped in a roadside motel room with that cocky bastard for two straight days, and with one small bed. Some women might thank Mother Nature for delivering a polar vortex that maroons them with six feet of solid muscle, those deep blue eyes, that sexy grin - but not me. I’ve known Gianni Lupo all my life, and he’s never brought me anything but bad luck, and trouble. I should have known what the disastrous end result would be.

Publisher's Summary
The anticipated conclusion of the Logan & Kayla saga in the Checkmate Duet Series from a secret duo under the USA Today best-selling author pseudonym, Kennedy Fox!
This second-chance romance will have you gasping and cheering these two on from the first to the last moment! Are you ready to play the final game?
Kayla Sinclair is a saint and real life Angel.
She wears her heart on her sleeve and inspires me to be a better person.
Rescuing dogs, feeding the homeless, volunteering at the local food pantry are just a few of the ways she gives back to others, although no one has ever been there for her.
Falling for her was inevitable, losing her will destroy me.
Letting someone in didn't come easy, but she made me want to try for the first time in years.
Her bubbling personality and kind spirit make it impossible to forget a girl like her.
But when tragedy strikes and she loses all memory that our relationship ever existed, my worst nightmare comes to life.
I'll do anything to remind her of the love we shared. I know it'll be an uphill battle, but I won't walk away without a fight. Whoever said all is fair in love and war never played by my rules.
Checkmate, Angel.
Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.

I Will Miss These Friends!
4.5 Stars
This is the conclusion of Logan and Kayla's journey. The story picks up right where it left off. It was a ride, I did feel that some of the previous issues were just glossed over or forgotten about so I didn't get as much closure as I had hoped for. Overall, I did love this story and will miss this group of friends and their relationships.
This specific video review will be included in the December 2018 wrap-up.

sweet finale to a great series
Finally after 6 books, weren't not left with a cliffhanger 😉
The conclusion to Logan and Kayla's story picks up right where it left off.
Without giving too much of the plot away, it was an interesting journey to watch Kayla and Logan navigate this obstacle in their relationship. When it reached the breaking point, I had a huge lump in my throat and I almost cried with the amount of emotion the authors wrote into that scene.
There were nearly tears of joy/relief a little while later, too. This book was full of feels and definitely one I went soon forget!

5+ THIS IS BEAUTIFUL STARS!!!
My heart hurts yet is so full at the same time. I am so sad that this series is over. A year and six books and I will go back for re-reads often. Even if it's just a chapter here or there. I'm so invested in these characters, and in turn in these two inspiring and amazing authors. Lia Langola did an absolutely brilliant job at narrating these stories and bringing these characters to life.
This second half of Layla and Logan's story was unbelievably good and completely exceeded my expectations. After being left with such a heart wrenching cliffhanger at the end of book one, Checkmate: This is Dangerous, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this to see what road Kennedy Fox took us down next. I was not disappointed. The added twists and turns were a great addition to the story line and like always I love seeing what the rest of the gang is up to!
Logan Knight is still all the feels! He is so swoony, hunky, protective, and most of all sweet. He is challenged in this book and I loved watching him adjust to the crazy situations at hand. Kayla is still the stubborn, sassy, and caring "crazy" dog lady, who is constantly putting people and animals before herself. She is put to the test, just as much, if not more than Logan. Watching this two interact and deal with the challenges and struggles was extremely emotional! I was angry. I was sad. I was frustrated. I was happy. Their chemistry never fails but the bumps in the road force them to try to figure out how to get back together emotionally.
Just a quick FYI, you will never, and I repeat NEVER, look at donuts the same way ever again. No regrets.
If you haven't read this series, I don't know what you're waiting for. Go meet the amazing characters that make up the entire Checkmate series! I can't wait for what Kennedy Fox have in store for us next!

I think these two are my new favorite
I loved Courtney and Drew but now I think Logan and Kayla are my new favorite. This is book two and their conclusion so make sure you have listened to book one first. Logan and Kayla have such a great chemistry together. They both have had some hard times in their pasts that have shaped who they are now. Logan wasn’t looking for a relationship when he met Kayla but now wants a life with her. Kayla is a sweet and loving soul and has wanted a chance with Logan since she met him. I love how this book played out and it definitely has all the feels. The narrator did a great just as well with these two.

Perfect conclusion to this duet and series!
This is Beautiful is the conclusion to Logan and Kayla’s duet and the sixth and final book in the Checkmate Series. It picks up right where This is Dangerous left off: Kayla waking up from a medically induced coma after a head injury with no memories of the last two years—or Logan.
After finding out that Kayla had been in a relationship with Logan before her accident Kayla feels like she owes it to both Logan and herself to give their relationship a do-over. Kayla’s heart and mind are at war though and it doesn’t go unnoticed by Logan, who can feel her holding him at arms length. Throw in some suspense and an ex that won’t quit and you’ve got Kennedy Fox’s signature recipe for a 5 star read.
Logan has to be my favorite main character of this series. I feel like Logan showed the most growth as an individual and partner. He went from closed off and determined to avoid relationships at all cost to in love, no holds barred. When Logan loves, boy does he love—HARD. And Lia Langola captured every ounce of emotion for Logan so perfectly. This was her best narration of the series in my opinion.
Although I’m sad to say goodbye to the three Checkmate Series Duet couples, I can’t wait to see what else Kennedy Fox has in store for us!

Great ending to a wonderful series
Book 6 in the Checkmate series and book 2 in Logan and Kayla’s duet and it was a great end to their romance and to the series. The journey to love that Logan and Kayla embark on will pull at your heartstrings and have you rooting for them to get their HEA. Lia was able to really bring out the emotions that Kennedy Fox was able to convey through their words. Loved this entire series I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be taken away to a world of wonderful storylines and characters that will make you wish you know them in real life.

Gah, I can't describe how this book tore at my emotions. It gave me just great feelings. I was pulled into this quickly and melting instantly. So amazing!
Kennedy Fox knows how to make their stories extremely heated while pulling at your heart strings and surprising you.
Logan and Kayla have officially been bumped up to my number one favorite couple and the narrator just makes this more personal.
These two will steal your heart and never give it back. Love this!

Kayla and Logan!
The love story of Kayla and Logan continues but they have hit a roadblock as they find out that Kayla’s physical injuries after the accident were much easier to heal than her loss of memory for the last two years. Her body remembers Logan, but her heart doesn’t which leaves her confused and wondering where they go from here.
Now that Kayla no longer remembers him, he regrets all the time that they lost before they became a couple and he kept pushing her away. He has been advised by her doctors that he shouldn’t give her any information she doesn’t remember, and he is devastated that he will lose the one woman who will always hold his heart.
Kayla and Logan take us on an emotional and suspenseful journey as they try to deal with the past she doesn’t remember and the past that Logan can’t forget. The narrators did a great job at bringing out the angst of the story and the characters.

My Thoughts on This is Beautiful
This book definitely took me on an emotional roller-coaster. I felt my anxiety level rising as the book continued and the incidents that happened in the end of This is Dangerous continued. I felt so bad for Logan. He was so clearly affected and I was just desperate for something to happen to fix things for them. The moment that changed everything for the better was perfect. It was emotional, and sweet, and just perfect. It kind of made everything that came before worth it. I was certainly happy for that because the angst was killing me.
Lia Langola gave another fantastic performance for this one. She really does have one of those voices that makes it hard for me to miss having a male voice for the guy chapters. I really have enjoyed her during this whole series. She did good accents and great energy and passion and emotion all when needed. I look forward to more books from her in future.
Overall another great story from Kennedy Fox and I am excited to try more from them.

Logan and Kayla are GOALS!
Ok wow! Kayla and Logan are my official, Checkmate series couple!! I cannot get enough of this pair and I would have happily read more of their story. Logan only had eyes for Kayla, no matter what happened, and what happened was heartbreaking. I was so sad for both of them (in different ways) when the tragedy occurred, it just broke my heart. Steam factor as always was off the charts and with a story line to boot, This is Beautiful was the best conclusion, not only for Kayla and Logan, but for the entire Checkmate series.

A fantastic ending for a fabulous series
This is Beautiful is the final book in Logan and Kayla's story, as well as the final book in the checkmate series and what a ride it's been. Following on from the cliff hanger in This is Dangerous we pick up with Logan at the hospital trying to come to terms that Kayla doesn't remember the last few years of her life or the people in it including him.
The story progressed as I expected in a sense that Kayla would have to fall in love with Logan all over again but it wasn't repetitive and it didn't go quite to plan. Kennedy Fox brought some unpredictability, some human variation to a predictable storyline and they crafted the perfect story for Logan and Kayla. I love that we didn't just get a repeat of dates gone by or a retelling of their relationship to the point of the accident. The journey felt organic and unforced and Kayla's slow building emotions or lack there off surprised me.
My heart really hurt for Logan, what he goes through in this book pulls hard on your heartstrings; but at the same time you sympathise with Kayla too and losing that time from your memory and seeing evidence of the life you did have and don't remember everywhere you turn must be tough. Despite the journey Hero and heroine take in this final book, of course everything works out and I was very happy with how this duet and the series as a whole turned out. Once again Lia Langola did a phenomenal job narrating the audiobook. She really understood Logan and Kayla's emotional journey and portrayed it perfectly.

Great finish to the duet and series
Wow. Great progression of Logan & Kayla's relationship arc. I loved how all of the different storylines played out and most importantly concluded (I hate when loose ends are not tied up). The narrator, Lia Langola, was just as fabulous as always.

I can't believe this series is over
What a ride. Logan and Kayla really went through it. I think this might be the most angst heavy yet. I love all the characters and the way Kennedy Fox can make any trope a favourite is a work of magic. Lia Langola once again knocked it out the park audio wise. I'm gutted this series is over. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Tragically beautiful
Lia never fails to amaze me with her voice acting.
She voices multiple characters almost seamlessly - and puts so much emotion into her storytelling that you feel like you are living in their world.
Kayla and Logan are a stunning disaster.
Their story was filled with drama, uncertainty, sadness, tears of joy, steam and happiness.
Add in their crazy group activities, a cute kid and fur babies for everyone and you have a book you don’t want to put down.
It was an emotional roller coaster for sure, but so, so worth it.
