About this listen
Introducing book two in the new Checkmate Duet Series from a secret duo of best-selling authors! This friends-to-lovers romance will have you swooning and laughing from beginning to the end! 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.

4.5 Stars
This is my favourite of the CheckMate duets so far. The dynamic between Courtney and Drew was on point and the cameos made me smile. What Drew and Courtney go through in this story was staggering and I loved how they (mostly) communicated every step of the way this time. This picks up right here This Is Reckless leaves off and it's action action pretty much from there. I loved how it ended and I really am excited to read the next duet. Lia Langola is an ace on narration and I really enjoy her superb work bringing these books to life. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Love ❤️
I loved Drew from the very beginning and was super happy to have an ending to his and Courtney’s story. After the cliff-hanger in This Reckless and all the crap Mia Montgomery put them through, I was super happy to see then come out of the other side unscathed (mostly). This is Effortless boarder lines on the romantic suspense side, with the super super hot steamy scenes thrown in – remember, don’t listen to Kennedy Fox around children! Courtney just might be one of my fave Kennedy Fox characters, being a Bishop may just of given her extra brownie points though; I did love hearing her story. It had the perfect ending and I cant wait to see what comes next from the dynamic writing Duo.

My Thoughts on This is Effortless
This was an excellent wrap up to a duet that had me totally hooked. I loved the love between Drew and Courtney. Even when they had his crazy ex-girlfriend doing everything in her power to tear them apart. From the very beginning of this book, which picked up right where book one left off, her craziness showed and just kept getting worse throughout the book. But the love between Drew and Courtney just held strong and even grew.
There were so many twists and turns in this book that I just didn’t see coming but that just made it all the more enjoyable. And once it came to the end, and everything that Mia was throwing at Drew and Courtney came to a close, I can’t say I was very sad by what happened to her. It honestly seemed like she wasn’t going to stop until something like that happened. But it all laid out in such a thrilling way. That was one of my favorite things about this whole duet and this part especially. The suspense and trying to figure out what really happened after the jaw dropping twist at the end of book one.
The narration once again lacked for nothing. Lia Langola gave her usual amazing performance in both Drew and Courtney’s chapters. I have loved her voice for a long time and this did nothing to lessen that love.

Drew and Courtney!
Drew and Courtney's story continue as Mia continues her Fatal Attraction ways but what she hadn’t counted on was the fact that Courtney and Drew are soulmates and their love is stronger than any force to break them up could be.
I loved these two characters as Courtney’s sass and spunk matches up against Drew’s protectiveness to make a perfect match. Once they transformed from friends to lovers they never looked back or had any doubts which was so refreshing.
It was great to meet Courtney’s family, catch up with Travis and Viola and learn more about Logan and Kayla who will be the next couple that we fall in love with. The narrator did a great job at bringing all the emotions of this romantic story out.

A satisfying ending for Drew and Courtney
This is Effortless continues on with Courtney and Drew's story and after the HUGE cliff hanger of This is Reckless I was dying to know how their story was going to develop. The story picks up right where it left us in the previous novel in Vegas and Drew realising Courtney is missing and Mia is in his bed after taking advantage of him. I loved being thrown straight back into the drama of the story, Mia's role throughout is what adds the suspense to the duet.
This story focuses on Drew and Courtney establishing their relationship outside of the confines they already knew, the house they share, the friendship they have and building from that into coupledom. There were so many moments that had me swooning over Drew, the things he would say and do to help Courtney feel loved and protected. Courtney herself struggles with a crisis of confidence knowing that Mia is coming for her and will seemingly stop at nothing to prove that Drew is meant for her. The couple decide to rescue a dog and this, although a cute storyline takes over a little at times and it wasn't really needed, it didn't add anything to the book really.
They need to see how the storyline played out with Mia and her mystery accomplice is what kept the story going. I felt that Drew and Courtney were in a great place outside of that but of course Mia continues to throw a spanner in the works. How that storyline came to end was full of drama and ended a little abruptly I have to say but a good one all the same. I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book in the duet but yet again Lia Langola did an amazing job on the narration for the audiobook. Her performance was perfection. I am looking forward to reading more on Kayla and Logan's story there was a fair bit of their push and pull chemistry here and I am really curious to know more.

Love this couple
Wow, Mia was crazy. I liked the storyline (no spoilers) and Drew and Courtney are still my favorite. Excellent progression of their relationship - amazing connection. So much heart. Fun special guests. Can't wait for Kayla and Logan- what is his deal???
Lia Langola was still just as fabulous as a narrator as in previous books.

Drew & Courtney Book 2
This is Effortless is the second book in Drew and Courtney's story and picks up right after that awful last scene from the previous book. Drew ans Courtney's journey to HEA is not an easy one and Drew's ex Mia makes sure to ruin it for them every step of the way.
As usual Lia Langola's narration is brilliant.

Romance and suspense...
Wow...the duo have done it again in this conclusion to Drew and Courtney's duet! So much excitement, suspense, laughter, witty banter, friendship and more throughout. With Drew's ex Mia still trying to get between them...the question is, who is helping her and will she succeed???
Love seeing what's happening with the other characters in the series too. Can't wait to see what happens next after that ending!!!
