About the book
Introducing book 1 in the new Checkmate Duet Series from a secret duo of bestselling authors! 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?
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.*
**This is book 1 of 2 in the Checkmate Duet Series--a friends to lovers romance. 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.*
Like who really doesn’t like a friend turn into lover’s story. I know for sure that I do especially when they’re full of angst. Without a doubt that’s what Kennedy ox has given to me for the third time, a love story that is more than swoon worthy.Viola’s brother Drew and her best friend Courtney have now become roommates since she has Travis have started a life of their own. I adore the relationship everyone has and the closeness too.
When I first learned Courtney was moving in with Drew I just knew she was a fan of torture especially since Drew can not seem to get over Mia (she’s a nobody and everyone hates her.) Not sure why he can seem to understand that not only does Courtney have his best interest, but she's highly intelligent and down to earth. Not many can pull all of those qualities off.
I love how the relationship progressed between these two.The pace had a nice slow burn to it that leaves you wanting more.
The one downfall for me was that this story didn’t feel completely Drew's and Courtney’s not to say that Viola and Travis was to disappear, but it felt like their world didn’t felt separate. Maybe I’m over thinking that. IDK
Over this face paced love affair had this right mixture of emotions that kept me up late and not wanting to put my kindle down. Sadly like all books this one came to an end faster than I wanted, now I’m left waiting and wanting the second part of Drew and Courtney’s story. Time can be a cruel game
