Hot. Sexy. And loads of sexual tension. Checkmate: This Is War by Kennedy Fox was just a fun and entertaining read. I am a sucker when it comes to enemies to lovers and best friends little sister romance trope and so if you can combine the two, then you know you have my full attention.

Viola Fisher loathes Travis King. Well to be exact, she hates him with a passion. At first she didn’t hate him that is until he did something to make her upset. Travis is cocky, arrogant, and a womanizer. He loves to rile up Viola and so you can imagine if they had to co-habitat for two weeks while Viola has to stay at her brother’s apartment that he shares with Travis. Yes, that’s right lots of sexual tension and banter. Don’t think Viola is some wallflower that will standby and let Travis intimidate him, because she has no problem letting Travis know how she feels about him. If he pushes, she will push right back. So in this case of chess, will Travis King be making a move that will have Viola Fisher saying Checkmate or This Is War?
If you like your romance sizzling, sexy, and full of banter then Checkmate: This Is War might be the book for you. I really enjoyed this story and couldn’t get enough of Viola and Travis. The banter and sexual tension was refreshing since readers could really feel it was only a matter of time till these two finally got it on. I love Viola’s character so much but her justification for holding the hatred for Travis was a bit childish on her part but it worked for the story line. As for that ending, I can’t wait to find out what happens next with Travis and Viola.
