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.**

After reading Checkmate: This is Reckless (check the link to read my review) I was wondering how Kennedy Fox would top that book. The first book about Drew and Courtney was hilarious and utterly romantic, but it had a touch of suspense and little bit of madness. It was a perfect mix. And, write something beyond perfection isn´t easy. But this duo did it!

This is Effortless take the story exactly where the previous book was left. With a very pissed Drew in bed with a crazy woman (Mia's haters, please raise your hands). But more than pissed, Drew is terrified. He doesn't know where Courtney is and how things got that bad. Not far from there, Courtney, suddenly, waked up in a place that looks like her room. Everything is where is supposed to be. Everything but Drew. The she received the first taste of Mia’s brand of madness. She needs to get back to Drew, and run the hell out of that place. Relieve flows through her system when Drew found her. They’re together, they’re safe but there’s a menace over their heads.

“I’ll be with you and won’t let you out of my sight. I’ll protect you, sweetheart.”

After that, things seem to be back to normal. Drew and Courtney’s relationship grew, evolved and became stronger. They’re happy and enjoying themselves, focusing in their jobs and planning their life together, as friends and lovers. The beauty about their relationship is their capacity to take the bad and the ugly, and turn it into something good and capable to make their relationship stronger.

“Drew Fisher, I knew you and all your quirks long before I fell in love with you”

“I fell in love with you despite all your weird hillbilly quirks.”

Some people say that the road to happiness isn’t easy, and certainly in this book IS NOT easy at all. Despite the humor and the sweet moments, Drew and Courtney must fight very hard to be together. And while our dear characters are facing danger and madness to find their HEA, Viola and Travis are making their family even bigger, at some point, the authors share some hints about their next book in a particular Christmas party, and maybe Drew and Courtney get involved in the adoption of a pet.

At the end of this book, emotions are all over the place: fear and rage, but also love, humor and joy. I loved every single page of this book and can’t wait to live a new adventure with the characters created by Kennedy Fox.

“Loving you has and will always be effortless.”
