Book Review of CHECKMATE: THIS IS EFFORTLESS by Kennedy Fox

Title: Checkmate: This is Effortless
Series: Checkmate Duet Series (Drew & Courtney, #2)
Author: Kennedy Fox
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Trope: Friends to Lovers
Photographer & Designer: Sara Eirew
Release Date: April 25, 2017

This is Effortless immediately starts off with that epic cliffhanger night in Vegas from Book 1, This is Reckless. As the story progresses, you see Courtney and Drew dealing with the aftermath of that night and how to move on from the reckless black cloud that is Mia F*ing Montgomery.

I loved the banter between Courtney and Drew and found myself wishing I could be one of their friends! I also enjoy how Kennedy Fox includes Courtney’s crazy Southern Family along with Travis & Viola so the reader can get updates about these characters.

This friends to lovers story is one of my favorites in the Checkmate Duet Series with Kennedy Fox’s smooth writing blending easily just like the butter in Courtney’s famous blueberry muffins! This book gives you all the feels and book high that every bookworm craves!

Introducing book 2 in the new Checkmate Duet Series from a secret duo of romance authors who teamed up under the USA Today Bestselling pseudonym, Kennedy Fox! This friends to lovers romance will have you swooning and laughing from the first to the last page! Are you ready to play the game?

Courtney Bishop is as sugary sweet as her famous blueberry muffins.
Southern belle at heart, Cali girl by choice.
She barged into my life and easily became my best friend.

All was great as roommates and just friends, but then I fell for the girl who could chop firewood, deliver baby calves, and bail hay without breaking a sweat.
She’s the perfect mixture of sugar and spice, and I love her.

Being more than friends and trying to build our future isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Moving forward and creating memories is all I want for us, but when the past continues to come back and haunt me, I’m not so sure she’ll stay for the ride.

Loving her is easy, but losing her will break me. Burning passion combined with an undeniable chemistry constantly pushes and pulls us together. In the end, I’ll prove we’re worth the fight, even when the game is far from over.

Checkmate, sweetheart.

*Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.*

**This is book 2 in the Checkmate Duet Series–a friends to lovers romance. You must read book 1, Checkmate: This is Reckless first. Highly recommended to read the Checkmate Duet, This is War and This is Love first, but not necessary. This can read as a standalone duet.**
