***
Logan Knight is a real life knight in shining armor.
A detective godsend in a sleek black suit has me thinking less than secretive thoughts. Brooding and mysterious, he’s the kind of guy every girl instantly notices. Between his seductive smirk and charming good looks, it’s no wonder I can’t help the way he makes me feel whenever I’m near him.
Too bad he’s unavailable—or so he says.
He thinks I’m a do-gooder who shouldn’t get involved with a guy like him. His past is messy and relationships just add to that. He insists the timing is all wrong and he’s devoted to his career, but I don’t buy that excuse for a second. I see the way his body tenses and his jaw ticks every time another guy is around me. He just won’t admit it, but I’m more determined than ever to show him what he’s missing.
I’m a devoted animal rescuer and I’ll risk everything to save them, but when a dramatic turn of events puts both our lives at risk, I’m positive Logan will write me off for good. But when he asks for my help with a personal crisis, I know it’s my last chance to finally show him I can handle anything he throws my way—messy past and all.
He might think he has me all figured out, but I’ll prove him wrong no matter what he thinks. This game of push and pull has me running in circles. One wrong move and we could both lose.
Checkmate, Knight.

**This is book 1 in the Logan & Kayla Saga–a second-chance romance. You don’t need to read any of the other Checkmate series to enjoy this one, but is always recommended as they are both introduced in the earlier books.**
This Is Dangerous is book 1 of 2 in Kayla and Logan’s story. If you have read any of the previous books in this series, then you know how Kayla and Logan fit into this group of friends. No, you don’t need to read the other books to read this one though.
Logan is the mysterious, brooding, lonesome detective that is friends with Drew through the police work and sometimes being partnered with him. Those two grew close friends, which isn’t something Logan does very often. He keeps to himself and doesn’t really allow his work life to blend into his personal life.
Kayla is very close to Courtney and Viola and has been part of the group for what seems like forever. She has one the biggest and most caring hearts when it comes to animals and volunteering her time at the local pantry. She grew up in foster homes, but that obviously never stopped her from showing love to others.
Kayla and Logan have met in previous get-togethers with friends and their attraction was immediate. But Logan has always kept them from moving beyond more than friends. And even in this book, he is very hesitant from moving forward due to his daughter. She’s number one in his life. But that’s not the only reason he has refused to make a move on Kayla – he’s got his own secrets. Eventually he caves because he can’t stand seeing her with anyone else. And Kayla refuses to allow him to continue with the whiplash of feelings.
This story is a very slow burn. Everything moves at a gradual pace and when things finally do start coming together, certain parts move fast while others move at a smoother pace. There really isn’t a plot line between these two but there is a underlying plots going on with each of them individually which adds a little suspense to the book. While Logan has come across before as the closed off, brooding type, he definitely opens himself up more to Kayla once he lets himself to act on his feelings.
This is a duet, so I knew to expect a cliffhanger at the end. But I wasn’t expecting the ending that we got. So I am quite intrigued to see where they take this because I have some questions from other tidbits they dropped throughout the book. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out and what happens for Kayla and Logan.
THE GRANDE FINALE OF THE CHECKMATE DUET SERIES IS COMING SOON!
