A Book Review: Checkmate: This is Reckless by Kennedy Fox

I want to start off by saying I was lucky enough to receive and e-copy of this book for review from Kennedy Fox! When I got the e-mail I totally freaked out because this is the first book I've ever received for review. However, since I have not read This Is War or This Is love, I ordered all three books in paperback so I could stare at them lovingly on my shelf. But, I am still very grateful to have received an e-copy. 

Checkmate: This Is Reckless is about two best friends who have roomed together for two years realizing they have feelings for each other. Drew and Courtney have been best friends for years. Courtney has been pining for Drew since they met, but Drew has never seen her as anymore than just "one of the guys." They couldn't imagine life without each other but all of this changes when they share one drunken night together. After, Drew begins seeing Courtney in a new light.

I absolutely LOVED this book. I have always been a lover of friends-to-lovers romances and This Is Reckless is one of the best ones I've ever read. I loved Drew and Courtney's relationship as friends. I thought it was adorable and had me longing for a friendship like theirs. It was so cute and they are just so cozy and comfortable with each other. You want them to get together after you read the prologue when you are sent back months before the night they get together happens.

The only thing that threw me off in this book was the reference to things that happened in Travis and Viola's story. Since I have not read the first two, some things were spoiled for me. I would definitely recommend reading Travis and Viola's books first.

Even though I didn't read them in the order I was supposed to, I really loved this book. It was cute and fun and totally addicting! I broke my no-reading rule that I have because of my concussion to read this. Definitely worth the pain! I cannot wait to read the next book!!

Five stars!
