I DARE YOU TO MARRY ME … 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

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

Kelly Gendron has away of hooking her readers. We devour her books and scream for more, MORE, MORE. Crash is the MORE I have been waiting for since the first book. The glimpses of Crash in past books exploded from the pages and I couldn’t help but fall in love. I get him. I understand him. He has sacrificed so much and deserves any happiness he can get. The question is will Maggie be the gateway to his happiness or will she cause him to crash and burn.
I kept thinking this was a second chance romance, but did they really give love a chance in the first place? I thought of it as a forbidden romance. After all Maggie was not only his best friend’s little sister, but his little sister’s best friend. It was definitely and enemies to lovers story. The animosity dripped off the pages.
There were so many secrets, so many lies. I turned every page fearing the end would come, their lives would crash, and their world of possibilities would end. Three years is a long time to disappear. Three years is a long time for secrets to fester. Three years is a long time to blame oneself for something that was not your burden to carry.
And what I discovered had me screaming. Now I find myself blaming others. Disappointed in those that should have stood by Crash. Instead they let him accept responsibility when it was not his to bare. They let him crash. They let him hit the wall and loose everything for three long years.
This is the first book that I’ve readby this author and I loved it! I love the storyline and the characters. This story is wellwritten and intriguing. I will definitely check out the other books in this series.

So much heartbreak, so many misunderstandings yet there is hope that love will prevail. Maggie has loved Crash her whole life but she was in the ‘friend zone’ since her brother Josh was Crash’s best friend. When she dared him to marry her, she never dreamed he would do it but then the unthinkable happened and Josh died. Maggie fled and now, 3 years later, she is back. She is in trouble and needs to get Crash to divorce her to protect him from her mistakes. Crash’s world shattered when Josh died. Not only did he lose Josh but he lost Maggie too, the girl he will always love. When she lands back on his track, he is shocked and excited. What he never expects is for her to ask for a divorce. He thought he made sure the wedding wasn’t legal. These two have to traverse a minefield of emotions as they face how they truly feel while dealing with the pain from their past. Maggie also has to handle her current problems which Crash won’t let her do alone and, I have to say, he deals with in spectacular fashion. (This just reinforced my love for the Declan and Kane brothers.) Maggie and Crash are incredible together which had me rooting for them even as more surprises unfolded. Of course, will they find forgiveness for themselves as well as each other to truly let love guide them. It was so much fun finding out if they would. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest 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, 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.
