Review: Check Mate

 Check Mate

"How did I find myself sharing a tent with my obnoxious—albeit gorgeous—neighbor, Isabella Romero?

It all started with a stupid bet.

All I had to do in order to win was something unpredictable. (Which my brother thought was impossible for the ever-boring David Windell).

Well, I showed him... by booking a trek in the Andes Mountains to see Machu Picchu.

When the brochure for the expedition mysteriously appeared on my front porch, along with Isabella's cat who doesn't have boundaries, it was like fate interceded: I could win the bet while simultaneously getting a vacation from my irritating neighbor.

Two birds, one stone.

Except, it turns out that was Isabella's brochure... and she booked the same trip.

So here I am, stuck sharing a tent with the woman who drives me crazy—and makes my heart race like never before."


Author: Leah Brunner

Genre: Rom-Com

STOP! I’m OBSESSED with the Windells! And sweet sweet David deserved his HEA!

Isabella was his perfect match! I LOVE A GOOD OPPOSITES ATTRACT STORY!
He calmed her, and she kept him on his toes. It was GREAT! They were adorable together!

I literally did not set the book down. I finished it in one sitting. I HAD to keep going! The story gripped me.
The characters. The setting. The “pranks”. The CHEEMMMISSTTRRYYY!! All of the above! It was the perfect book to get out of a reading slump.

A super fast, cheesy rom-com. Sign. Me. Up. For ALLL of it!!
Are they practical or realistic? Absolutely not.
But they’re fun. And you know what?!? I LOVE THAT!

I am waiting with BATED breath for Brooks’ story to release so I can inhale that one too!

*this is NOT CF!! It is a closed door romance with mild language*
4/5 stars

*I received this book from the author**All opinions are my own*

    1. I know! It always makes me sad when there is language. I try to avoid it as much as possible as well. It's always a shot in the dark with secular books. Thankfully Leah's books aren't saturated with it.
