But when the raven-haired beauty
The insurance company sent to oversee my stunts
Dared me to take her on, well, now..

Will Jaylyn be the first to tame this overbearing stuntman, or will Steele hold out and get what he wants?
Praise For The Novel
“What a complicated story!!!! What a glorious day of entertainment it gave me. I am so happy that I had a good block of time so that I could devour every last amazing page.” - Trudy Dowling
“Wow! This one will set hearts on fire and tear down the walls so carefully obtained by thinking you are unlovable!” - Sheridan
“Wow! Another great book from Kelly Gendron. I've thoroughly enjoyed every book I've read from her.” - Denise Whited
“Babe.” His dark eyes sway to my mouth, and during the brief pause of silence, my hormones dare my fingers to reach out and touch him. “We passed professional a few minutes ago when I heard about your secret pole dancing stunt, not to mention, seeing your intimate apparel. I’m sorry.” He shakes his head with a low tsk-tsk. “There’s just no going back from that, Jaylyn.”
“You must try.” I clutch the gown to my chest, loathing the way my name sounds spoken in his low, raspy distinctive voice … loathing the way I want to hear him whisper it in my ear while he’s …
“Not gonna happen.” He taps my thigh as though it’s been settled. “Now, you need a ride home, and I’m here, willing, and able.”
“I don’t want a ride home from you!” I don’t want anything from him, nor do I want to be alone with him. I don’t want him at my apartment, the very place where I need to go to put some clothes on. I need clothes. I need my yoga pants and a tee shirt—a stained, already worked out in, smelly, offensive tee shirt. The getup I have on, the way Steele Kane’s looking at me … God, I haven’t felt this sexy since …
“No, maybe not, but the way I see it, what you want really doesn’t matter right now, does it? Or would you rather stay here for the night?” His head tilts back, and a wolfish grin strikes his mouth as though he already knows the answer. “Don’t worry, I won’t hold this naughty little stunt against you. I like to play dirty, but I’d never resort to blackmail, extortion, or using force. At least, not the unwanted kind to get what I want.” He winks.
“And what exactly do you want?” I sit up straight, ignoring the sexy little twitch of his left eye.
“Only to get you safely home.”
I glare at him, tightening the gown around me. “And that’s it?”
“Yes, Miss Rigsby, that is it.”
4 Stars
Ms Gendron has our attention with the Kane brothers. Steele is a daring stuntman who is good at his job. He works hard to be one of the best in the business and that includes the proper head space a stunt requires. One thing he is not so good at is giving up or defeat. When his Insurance Company send Jaylyn to watch over him and decide it certain stunts should be covered he is immediately drawn to her. But it is clear that she has some pretty strong walls to battle down first. This battle is something that is not normally up his ally.
Jaylyn does a good job at keeping her life and emotions packed in neat little boxes. If you keep it all closed up you can even pretend it never happened, right? Well maybe not but it helps to keep her focused on the current task, and that is keeping any other stuntman from a tragic loss. In the past 3 years she has kept herself a distant closed book to all. Will the feelings that she has when Mr. Kane is around, open a box or two?
Will this be a quick fun challenge as he suggests? Or will hearts get involved no matter how hard they try? Will the past block the future or is there away around this roadblock?
I enjoyed these characters and the depth of the emotions that are brought out in this one. I am also looking forward to some more of the Kane brothers.

Where can you find USA Today Bestselling Author, Kelly Gendron writing her steamy, blush producing romances? Usually, she’s tucked away in a quiet suburb somewhere in the upper EST area. But, when she’s not creating HEA stories, you can find her representing a reputable group of nursing facilities in the WNY area. If you Google her, she’ll pop up there too. And, please, google her. Kelly loves to hear from her readers and to meet new people!
