About this listen

Synopsis: Introducing Audiobook One in the Logan & Kayla saga of the Checkmate series from a secret duo of romance authors who teamed up under the USA Today best-selling pseudonym, Kennedy Fox! This second-chance romance will sweep you off your feet from the very first chapter, and have you craving donuts by the final chapter! Are you ready to play the final game?

Logan Knight is a real life knight in shining armor. A detective godsend in a sleek black suit has me thinking less than secretive thoughts. Brooding and mysterious, he's the kind of guy every girl instantly notices. Between his seductive smirk and charming good looks, it's no wonder I can't help the way he makes me feel whenever I'm near him. Too bad he's unavailable - or so he says. He thinks I'm a do-gooder who shouldn't get involved with a guy like him. His past is messy, and his relationships just add to that. He insists the timing is all wrong and he's devoted to his career, but I don't buy that excuse for a second. I see the way his body tenses and his jaw ticks every time another guy is around me. He just won't admit it, but I'm more determined than ever to show him what he's missing. I'm a devoted animal rescuer and I'll risk everything to save them, but when a dramatic turn of events puts both our lives at risk, I'm positive Logan will write me off for good. But when he asks for my help with a personal crisis, I know it's my last chance to finally show him I can handle anything he throws my way - messy past and all. He might think he has me all figured out.

Slow burn...

So glad Kayla and Logan finally decide to get together...it's a long time coming though. Both have troubled and tortured pasts, can they help each other heal? That ending though...this writing duo are definitely the queens of cliffhangers!!! Can't wait to see how their story continues...

love a good tortured hero

Wasn't expecting such a slow burn but it worked for this story arc and their romance. I love single dad stories and Logan was a great dad - I don't think that's a spoiler. Kayla was a bit too nice and sweet for my tastes but I liked her. While it's listed as a second chance romance I don't agree and would classify as more of a friends to lovers. As expected, cliffhanger - yikes! Luckily the next book is available.

Performance was excellent as always.

Logan and Kayla!

Kayla Sinclair was raised in foster care and is now an interior designer. She has a group of loving friends but she dreams of having a family of her own especially if that family includes Logan Knight. Who wouldn’t love a girl based on her feelings about doughnuts and animals?

Logan is a police detective but his difficult past has made him closed off and detached. He is attracted to her but feels she deserves someone so much better than him and the problems he carries.

They met through mutual friends but he has rebuffed all the attempts that Kayla has made to become closer but fate has other ideas. He tries to keep his distance but she knows that he is interested and slowly but surely she ingratiates her way into his life and his heart and their chemistry was explosive.

The characters both have pasts they would like to forget, the banter between them humorous and the cliffhanger ending leaves you wanting more. The narrator does a great job and makes it easy to differentiate between the characters.

That ending though...

Lia once again did an amazing job of narration.
How she manages to have a conversation between the three girls and voice all three (seamlessly) absolutely astounds me.
So fantastic.

This group of friends makes me laugh. Their shenanigans - when they get together - never fail to brighten my day.

Logan and Kayla... I’m so glad they finally took a shot at “more than friends”.
Together they are sweet, loving, sexy and fun. Add in a cute little kid and I’m in love 🥰

Some secrets are revealed, while others remain hidden...
And that ending? What a punch to the gut! Ouch, that hurt to hear.

Kayla & Logan Book 1

Kayla and Logan are two troubled souls with a past they would very much like to keep hidden. Kayla is sassy, smart and spontaneous whilst Logan is cautious and guarded. After years of living in the friendzone they finally get together but an unfortunate “accident” threatens to keep them apart.

That cliffhanger was sooo unexpected. Can’t wait for the next book. I love them as a couple.

As per typical fashion Lia Langola’s portrayal of both characters is superb!!!

Best yet.

This has to be my favourite of the duets so far (I know I said that before but I really mean it this time!) Getting to know Kayla over the past 5 books, I've been desperate to get to know more about her. and Logan too. The way Kennedy Fox writes, you cant help but fall in love with each new character they introduce and that's definitely the case here. Logan is such a swoon and I need the next book NOW. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Holy cliffhanger!!

Ahhh the Queens of cliffhangers have done it again!!!
Kayla is smart, sassy and knows exactly what she wants, I love her inner vixen. Logan is mysterious and broody until you really get to know then all bets are off! The steam factor is off the charts, this pair may even be my favourite of the Checkmate series yet! With secrets still between them and the mother of all cliffhangers, i cannot wait to see what happens next

Lia Langola's performance was perfect!

I really loved this Audiobook for Kayla and Logan's story. Lia Langola completely nailed the performance, at this point her narration would fool you to believe it's duel not a single narrated audiobook. I cannot fault her at all for how she portrayed the characters in This Is Dangerous.

Kayla and Logan are two secondary characters we have got to know a little throughout the series to date and I was intrigued to know more about the mysterious Logan and why he wouldn't give in to the attraction he clearly has for Kayla. Their romance is a slow burn but one I enjoyed, it gave me time to get to know these characters understands what Logan especially has been through. Like any other Kennedy Fox book in this series there are little nuances that hint at the bumps in the road that are speeding towards the Hero and heroine but there are a few twists in the story that I certainly did not see coming!

Logan and Kayla are such likeable characters and a sense of family, supportiveness and friendship holds strong in this story. Both main characters are protectors, putting others before themselves regardless of the consequences. The secrets that are hidden play a part in the disaster that comes into play at the end of the novel and I am waiting on baited breath for Part 2!
