Check Mate

Under Kansas Skies, Book 3

De: Leah Brunner

Narrado por: Dane Anderson, Hannah Carmona

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, 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.

Great story! Love Dane Anderson’s liquid bass voice. Mmm! And Hannah Carmona’s Spanish accent was excellent. 5 stars!

Wonderful story!

I absolutely loved listening to Hannah & Dane bring David & Isabella's story come to life!!

Fun and sweet

The pranks had a fun twist to this grumpy guy and lighthearted girl story. I love the bet David makes that drives the plot in the beginning. This was probably my least favorite in the series, but still a very fun read and I can’t wait to read the final book in the series.

Check Mate

Once again, the narrators did a fantastic job. This opposites attract and grumpy x sunshine couple was so much fun to read about. They had really great chemistry and character growth.

A Fun Enemies to More Love Story!

This was a fun way for me to finish off the Under Kansas Skies series, which I ended up reading completely out of order and thoroughly enjoying!

This is a true enemies to more story, with both of the main characters having not kind feelings toward each other as the story begins, and then eventually falling for each other later in the book.

I loved the way these two connected on the Peru trip. The one tent trope was so fun in this story.

Even though Isabella and David were opposites in many things, their hearts were drawn to each other and they ended up being exactly what each other needed. They were so sweet together and I loved David's grand gesture for Isabella, when he realized how much he loved her.

I listened to this story as an audiobook and thought that the narrators did a great job with expressing the characters' personalities as they performed the story.
