Synopsis
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.**

MY REVIEW
This is Reckless was so engaging, I could hardly bring myself to put it down when I had things to do in the real world. I didn’t think I could love these characters more than Travis and Viola but *gasp* Courtney and Drew have taken their place in my heart. Yep, I said it, I’m declaring myself #TeamDrewtney.
The banter between Courtney and Drew had me laughing out loud at times, and I will certainly never look at blueberry muffins the same again. I enjoyed their easy friendship, and when it grew to be more, well that was just icing on the cake. The chemistry between those two was seriously flaming hot!
Unfortunately, every novel must also have an antagonist, and This is Reckless has one that you really love to hate. Three words. Mia F’ing Montgomery. Aka pain in the you know what. Man, do I want to throttle her! That witch doesn’t know when to take a hike! *breath in- breath out, breath-in breath-out*
That ending though, Kennedy Fox really knows how to leave you hanging on the edge of a cliff. This is a duet, I went in knowing that the ending was going to be a cliff-hanger and something major was probably going to happen. Well it did, and I still wasn’t prepared for it. I wish I could fast forward time so that I can have This is Effortless in my greedy hands right now! Alas, I don’t obtain such powers.
I highly recommend This is Reckless if you are looking for an entertaining and sexy friends-to-lovers romance. One-click this baby, asap!
