A BOOK REVIEW: Checkmate: This Is Dangerous by Kennedy Fox

After reading the last two books in this series and getting a glimpse at the incredible chemistry between Kayla and Logan, I was SO excited to receive an e-ARC of this book. Thank you so much to the secret duo of authors. Kennedy Fox writes such cute, funny, and steamy romances and I love her books so much. Checkmate: This Is Dangerous was no exception. 

To Kayla, and pretty much everyone else in his life, Logan Knight is a mystery. He is a hardworking detective that not only works hard as his job, but to also keep everyone at arms length, including Kayla. Kayla can't deny her feelings for Logan. He's her knight in shining armor;always seems to be around when she needs him. When Kayla discovers the reason he's been pushing her away, she finds herself falling for him even more. Kayla makes it clear she's ready to dive head first into something serious with Logan, but can Logan learn to trust her enough to let her in? 

Kayla is probably one of my favorite characters out of every book I've read. It was so easy to connect with her character. She owns three dogs and volunteers at her local shelter in her spare time. She is just an all-around good person and makes me wish I'd make more time in my life to do volunteer work. I was very surprised my the secret Logan discovered about Kayla halfway through the book. It wasn't hinted at all and I felt like it was kind of thrown in there. I wish there had been more a build up to it. Hopefully we'll see in the next book! 

My favorite thing about this book, besides Kayla's fur babies and love for donuts, was the slow burning romance between her and Logan. Although Logan has a valid reason for not wanting a relationship, it was cute to watch him realize how attracted he was to Kayla. I like that it took some time for Kayla to crack down Logan's walls. And, after to broke down his walls, I loved how well they fit together. It was just cute and I loved it. The ending threw me off, just like the secret Logan discovered, but I still want my hands on the second book! There are so many questions I need answers to!

Overall, I really really enjoyed this book. I loved Kayla and Logan as separate people and as a couple (#TEAMLAYLA).
