About this listen

The anticipated conclusion of the Logan & Kayla saga in the Checkmate Duet Series from a secret duo under the USA Today best-selling author pseudonym, Kennedy Fox!

This second-chance romance will have you gasping and cheering these two on from the first to the last moment! Are you ready to play the final game?

Kayla Sinclair is a saint and real life Angel.

She wears her heart on her sleeve and inspires me to be a better person.

Rescuing dogs, feeding the homeless, volunteering at the local food pantry are just a few of the ways she gives back to others, although no one has ever been there for her.

Falling for her was inevitable, losing her will destroy me.

Letting someone in didn't come easy, but she made me want to try for the first time in years.

Her bubbling personality and kind spirit make it impossible to forget a girl like her.

But when tragedy strikes and she loses all memory that our relationship ever existed, my worst nightmare comes to life.

I'll do anything to remind her of the love we shared. I know it'll be an uphill battle, but I won't walk away without a fight. Whoever said all is fair in love and war never played by my rules.

Checkmate, Angel.

Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.

This is Beautiful is the final book in Logan and Kayla's story, as well as the final book in the checkmate series and what a ride it's been. Following on from the cliff hanger in This is Dangerous we pick up with Logan at the hospital trying to come to terms that Kayla doesn't remember the last few years of her life or the people in it including him.

The story progressed as I expected in a sense that Kayla would have to fall in love with Logan all over again but it wasn't repetitive and it didn't go quite to plan. Kennedy Fox brought some unpredictability, some human variation to a predictable storyline and they crafted the perfect story for Logan and Kayla. I love that we didn't just get a repeat of dates gone by or a retelling of their relationship to the point of the accident. The journey felt organic and unforced and Kayla's slow building emotions or lack there off surprised me.

My heart really hurt for Logan, what he goes through in this book pulls hard on your heartstrings; but at the same time you sympathise with Kayla too and losing that time from your memory and seeing evidence of the life you did have and don't remember everywhere you turn must be tough. Despite the journey Hero and heroine take in this final book, of course everything works out and I was very happy with how this duet and the series as a whole turned out. Once again Lia Langola did a phenomenal job narrating the audiobook. She really understood Logan and Kayla's emotional journey and portrayed it perfectly.

A fantastic ending for a fabulous series

What a fantastic ending to Logan and Kayla's story and the series!
I found myself laughing one minute and crying the next. With all the twists and turns throughout, you'll be left hoping they find their way to happiness together! As always the narrator is perfect and brings the story to life!
Can't wait to see what this duo write next...

Lia never fails to amaze me with her voice acting.
She voices multiple characters almost seamlessly - and puts so much emotion into her storytelling that you feel like you are living in their world.

Kayla and Logan are a stunning disaster.
Their story was filled with drama, uncertainty, sadness, tears of joy, steam and happiness.

Add in their crazy group activities, a cute kid and fur babies for everyone and you have a book you don’t want to put down.
It was an emotional roller coaster for sure, but so, so worth it.

After the little cliffy from the previous book I was desperately looking forward to finding out why and how that happened to Kayla (sorry no spoilers). My mind was going through so many scenarios (long lost person from the past, secret person from the past, boss related, dog related, friend related) so finding out what it actually was I felt a tiny bit disappointed.
I know this book is suppose to wrap the series in a tidy little bow but I was expecting more action like the previous duets so I deducted one star… (I feel like a judge in a tv competition deducting points). (:
Lia Langola as usual is amazing and this series, as good as it is, was more enjoyable because of Lia’s amazing narration.

This book definitely took me on an emotional roller-coaster. I felt my anxiety level rising as the book continued and the incidents that happened in the end of This is Dangerous continued. I felt so bad for Logan. He was so clearly affected and I was just desperate for something to happen to fix things for them. The moment that changed everything for the better was perfect. It was emotional, and sweet, and just perfect. It kind of made everything that came before worth it. I was certainly happy for that because the angst was killing me.

Lia Langola gave another fantastic performance for this one. She really does have one of those voices that makes it hard for me to miss having a male voice for the guy chapters. I really have enjoyed her during this whole series. She did good accents and great energy and passion and emotion all when needed. I look forward to more books from her in future.

Overall another great story from Kennedy Fox and I am excited to try more from them.

My Thoughts on This is Beautiful

Ok wow! Kayla and Logan are my official, Checkmate series couple!! I cannot get enough of this pair and I would have happily read more of their story. Logan only had eyes for Kayla, no matter what happened, and what happened was heartbreaking. I was so sad for both of them (in different ways) when the tragedy occurred, it just broke my heart. Steam factor as always was off the charts and with a story line to boot, This is Beautiful was the best conclusion, not only for Kayla and Logan, but for the entire Checkmate series.

Logan and Kayla are GOALS!

The love story of Kayla and Logan continues but they have hit a roadblock as they find out that Kayla’s physical injuries after the accident were much easier to heal than her loss of memory for the last two years. Her body remembers Logan, but her heart doesn’t which leaves her confused and wondering where they go from here.

Now that Kayla no longer remembers him, he regrets all the time that they lost before they became a couple and he kept pushing her away. He has been advised by her doctors that he shouldn’t give her any information she doesn’t remember, and he is devastated that he will lose the one woman who will always hold his heart.

Kayla and Logan take us on an emotional and suspenseful journey as they try to deal with the past she doesn’t remember and the past that Logan can’t forget. The narrators did a great job at bringing out the angst of the story and the characters.

Kayla and Logan!

What a ride. Logan and Kayla really went through it. I think this might be the most angst heavy yet. I love all the characters and the way Kennedy Fox can make any trope a favourite is a work of magic. Lia Langola once again knocked it out the park audio wise. I'm gutted this series is over. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

I can't believe this series is over

Wow. Great progression of Logan & Kayla's relationship arc. I loved how all of the different storylines played out and most importantly concluded (I hate when loose ends are not tied up). The narrator, Lia Langola, was just as fabulous as always.

Great finish to the duet and series
