About the book: Release Date January 22, 2019

Three years ago, I “married” my best friend’s sister on a dare and the next day, my best friend died. Maggie Mae is back in town and she wants a divorce. The thing is, we’re not really married
At least, I didn’t think we were…

Remember that guy in high school every girl wanted
Well, that sexy bastard was my brother’s best friend
With a mouth that always knew exactly what to say and a body that wouldn’t quit
Crash Kane was pure perfection
Perfect until he was almost mine

Remember that girl in high school every guy wanted
Maggie Mae was NOT that girl
While she wasn’t every guy’s dream
She was mine
She was also my best friend’s sister
And, like most guys,I knew the rules

Abandoned love, lost dreams and broken hearts. Sometimes, you’re going so fast, you don’t feel the CRASH!

REVIEW: CRASH is the third instalment in Kelly Gendron’s contemporary, adult DARING THE KANE BROTHERS erotic, romance series focusing on the Kane brothers –Token, Nix, Steele and Crash Kane-a spin off from the author’s BREAKING THE DECLAN BROTHERS series. This is twenty-six year old, former NASCAR driver and mechanic Crash Kane, and twenty-four year old Maggie Mae’s story line. CRASH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Crash and Maggie) CRASH is a multi-troped story line following the second chance, secret marriage, best friend’s little sister, rekindling romance between is twenty-six year old, former NASCAR driver and mechanic Crash Kane, and twenty-four year old Maggie Mae. Three years earlier the world as they knew it was torn apart and shredded when Maggie’s brother, Crash’s best friend Josh was killed on the track but not before Crash and Maggie participated in a drunken, quickie Vegas wedding, a wedding Crash thought had been annulled on the spot. Fast forward to present day wherein the woman with whom Crash hasn’t seen or spoken returns to their home town, keeping secrets that threaten the people he loves. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship and romance between Crash and Maggie, and the potential fall-out as Maggie’s past demands retribution, and Crash discovers the secrets Maggie was hoping to keep hidden.

Maggie has loved Crash for most of her life but death of her brother Josh brought with it the death of her relationship with Crash Kane. Returning home meant facing the man she hadn’t stopped loving, a return meant to move on with her life to protect the people she loved. Crash Kane had no idea the secrets Maggie kept but learning they were still married gave Crash a second chance at a happily ever after, a second chance that came with more secrets and surprises. Having taken the blame for Josh’s demise, Crash remained silent until his own secrets were revealed.

The relationship between Crash and Maggie is one of second chances; a best friend’s little sister, secret marriage that Crash thought was over, and Maggie wanted done. The palpable sexual attraction and desire did not go unnoticed by family and friends. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful secondary and supporting characters include Crash’s parents, and Maggie’s mother Bridget Knight.We are reintroduced to Crash’s brothers Token (see review below), Nix and Steele, as well as Jax and Emmie Declan, and Zeke Declan and Lurlene Kane (The Declan Brothers Series) and Crash’s roommate Jaggs. The requisite evil has many faces.

CRASH is a story of family, friendship, loss and love. The premise is heart breaking, emotional and entertaining; the romance is seductive and hot; the characters are dynamic, lively and charismatic. CRASH is a sexy, sensitive and moving story of second chances and happily ever after.

REVIEW: TOKEN is the first instalment in Kelly Gendron’s contemporary, adult DARING THE KANE BROTHER erotic romance series focusing on the Kane sibling. This is former boxer Token Kane, and twenty-five year old, Harley Redbourne’s story line. DARING THE KANE BROTHERS is a spin-off from the author’s BREAKING THE DECLAN BROTHERS series.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Harley and Token) TOKEN follows the building relationship between former boxer Token Kane, and twenty-five year old, Harley Redbourne. Token Kane works for boxing promoter and gym owner Bronx Mosely doing specialty jobs no one else wants to handle including the retrieval and babysitting of a woman who pushes all of Token’s buttons. Enter Harley Redbourne, the woman with whom Token will fall in love. On the run, staying one step ahead of her past, Harley Redbourne battles the guilt and memories of a time long ago, memories that she tries to drown at the bottom of a bottle. What ensues is the slow building romance, but tempestuous and acrimonious relationship between Harley and Token, and the potential fall-out as Token’s past is too close for comfort.

Token Kane is sent to retrieve Harley Redbourne but is unaware of the reasons surrounding his latest assignment. Battling his own demons, Token sees a kindred spirit behind the spitfire and fury of the woman that will call to his heart. Harley Redbourne is unwilling to go quietly; to be complacent for a man she believes is only doing his job. Struggling with the memories of heart break and loss, Harley continue to rebel and push at the man that calls to her heart.

The relationship between Harley and Token begins as an assignment. Harley refuses to cooperate with Token’s demands, as Token battles with the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced Token’s parents and his siblings: Crash, Nix, Steele and Lurlene, as well as boxing promoter Bronx Mosely. The requisite evil is familiar to our story line hero

TOKEN is a story of family, loss, guilt and grief. The premise is fast paced and spirited ; the characters are feisty, stubborn and determined; the romance is provocative and energetic. TOKEN is an engaging look at two broken people trying to hide from ghosts of the past.
