Check & Mate – Zug um Zug zur Liebe

The witty banter kept me laughing, but the emotional scenes felt genuine too. I'm curious how Ali Hazelwood approached blending these tones seamlessly.

It’s a familiar setup, but the chemistry and conflicts felt so authentic. What moments made this trope stand out for others?

The competitive environment added so much tension and humor. Wondering if the author based this on real experiences or created it from imagination.
