Life's moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart.

Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory's focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious 'Kingkiller' Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess.

Nolan's loss to an unknown rookie shocks everyone. What's even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallory's victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she can't help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist...

As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games aren't only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent... and infuriating...)

This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.

This was a really enjoyable story and kept bringing my mind back to the hit series Queens Gambit.
Well written and it performed!

Very enjoyable

Yes, it was cute, but the MFC is really obnoxious at times. Not everybody is out to get you.
i love ali hazelwood, but there have been better MFCs for sure.

annoyingly cute

Overall it was an easy listen that pulled all the right heart strings. The main female character was a little annoying in some places. But the self-assuredness of the male character makes up for it.

Cute and funny

First and foremost: the narrator was amazing! Nolan’s voice was on point!
I also loved the story. I’m a fan of the author and have read all her previous women in STEM books and I liked how she introduced a new “nerdy” world with this book to us. I definitely think that this one is one of her best stories. The plot was simple but nicely written, enough drama and enough romance to balance everything out without feeling overdone. The characters were developed nicely and the plot moved in a satisfying pace. It’s one of the books I wish I could forget and re-listen all over again.

Really enjoyed this book! Excellent performance by narrator.
