Siblings Kendall and Trace Walker love the thrill of adventure racing. But when a twisted figure from their past kidnaps Trace, it’s going to take every ounce of Kendall’s training to rescue her brother. For the kidnapper has a game in mind. A race unlike any other, created for Kendall alone. And if she doesn’t make each checkpoint in time, Trace will die. The only person Kendall can count on is Special Agent Dawson Cade. Together the pair tackle Kendall’s tormenter’s mad scheme. Yet even as they race to outwit Trace’s kidnapper, neither Kendall nor Dawson can deny the growing attraction between them. But they may never have a chance to act on it, if the enemy gets to Kendall first.
High adventure and danger around every corner spells thrills for this adrenaline-packed story by Kris Norris. Checkmate is an intriguing read with interesting characters that engages from beginning to end. I liked both Kendall and Dawson, which made it easy to root not only for their survival, but for them to get their happily ever after with one another. Dawson was strong and protective, as a hero of his position should be. Kendall was incredibly self-sacrificing and had guts, which I admired. I quickly became invested in their race to keep Trace alive and that carried me through Checkmate more than anything else. There were a few parts to Checkmate I could have done without. The villain hit my “ick” button a few times, but I chalk that up to personal reading preference. All in all, I greatly enjoyed Checkmate and Ms. Norris definitely left me wanting stories for some of the supporting characters.

Ii picked this up free at ARe
I liked the story line, quite interesting and intriguing and kept my interest through the book. Enjoyed the adventure racing bits.
Wasnt so convinced by the two MC's, just didnt get the vibe from them and that left their intimate dialogue a bit flat for me.
So, a good who dunnit with a bit of a hanging thread at the end for continuance.
