This book was almost a negative for me. I did not care for the characters. I especially did not like Christine. Her character was a little too arrogant and snobbish for me. Gael was a better. He gave as good as her got. The entire story was a chess game and that is what saved it. I loved the twist and how everything came together.

I liked this story. It was a very easy read. It was interesting, fast-paced, and entertaining. Each character is easily identified by their own specific personality and they are all likable. The writing is good, and there are a few surprises here and there. It's a nice romance, and the best part is, I didn't find it to be formulaic, which made me like it more. The biggest negative was, though well-written, there were a few differences because of language issues. spelling errors, and minor word errors. It definitely needed to be edited more closely. I understand a couple mistakes, but there were way more than that.
The ending was a complete surprise; I didn't see that coming. I did have to reread the beginning again though, to see if the story line still made sense to me. There are parts I questioned after reading the end, but all in all, it was an entertaining story. I feel most readers who are into romantic novels will enjoy "Check Mate". I also really like the author's choice of the title. It's a perfect fit.
