Rated 3.5 . This was an ok read for me. It was the first book in this series and from Kelly Gendron that i’ve read. Not having read the previous books in this series did not confuse me and i could easily follow the story and all the characters from previous books. It was well written and the plot was good but I just didn’t connect with the main characters. I will still read the previous and upcoming books from this series.

Nix has a complicated life being a single dad and trying not to mix it with being a womanizer. Then bring a sassy woman like Payton into his life and it becomes a mystery for him and a puzzle for you. Even when it gives you a sense of things settling down.
I was very pleased and surprised to find plot twist on top of other plot twist. And let’s face it, if the meaning of a computer geek/dad / hacker is Nix, then I need to find me one of those. Because WOW! I loved his calm confidence. He comes across as a delicious temptation. One that Payton can’t and doesn’t want to resist. This story is lick your lips sensual and creative. Can’t wait for the next brother!
Nix is the fourth novel in Daring the Kane Brothers Series. I was looking so forward to reading Nix’s story, he’s a brother, a single dad to a sweet little girl, and a computer geek. He’s not interested in a relationship. I think Payton was the perfect girl for him. I enjoyed the story. I loved seeing past characters, and the suspense kept me turning the pages to find out how it what was going to happen.
I very much enjoyed the previous three books in this series, and I’m looking forward to Stone’s story, but this one just didn’t quite work for me. Nix came across as a bit piggish in the beginning and I couldn’t quite get past that. I didn’t really feel the chemistry between him and Payton. I had some predictions about the story, and I was correct, but there were still a few surprises. The ending was satisfying. Others might enjoy this book, but for me, it just kind of fell flat.
This is another Daring the Kane Brothers series book. This is Nix’s story. Nix is a single Dad to his daughter – Becca, thanks to his MIA ex-girlfriend – Lexi, a computer geek and he is not looking for love. That is until Payton crosses his path, Nix finds that she is exactly what he is looking for in a woman. However, what he does not know is that Payton is inserting herself into Nix’s life for her own reasons. Nix battles with his thoughts and feelings that he is experiencing for Payton. Payton is struggling to complete the mission that brought her into Nix’s life without losing her heart. If that isn’t enough, there is a six year old girl that is the apple of both these characters eyes, can she bring them all together? I loved the suspense in this story that builds as the story unfolds. Enjoy!

I really had a love/meh relationship with this book. When it was great it was GREAT but there were quite a few things that really pulled me out of truly loving this one.
To break it down, here’s what I loved:
Nix was a great dad. He was sweet, fun and so loving with his little girl.
He was also hot AF. Like full on hot.
The instant attraction between Nix and Payton rapidly grew into something both sweet and hot that I really loved!
What I didn’t love:
Things were confusing. While the mystery and suspense the author was building definitely kept me guessing it also left me feeling like I had missed A LOT.
The rapid switches between hot and cold with Nix and Payton certainly built things up, but they also added to the moments that left me scratching my head.
Overall this book is pretty enjoyable and maybe I’m just a dummy who didn’t get it (that’s a real possibility )
Oh man Nix what an amazing man, he is a single father that works hard and provides his daughter with the best she deserves and even though he comes from an amazing family that helps when he asks, he still tries he hardest to be there for everything and he perfect. He’s a hacker of sorts, works helping others with computer issues and helps the government when needed. He is jaded because his baby mama left when their daughter was born without even a goodbye so he uses women for one night only then like a computer program deletes them from his brain, until Payton stumbles into his life. Payton tries to keep things with Nix platonic or just to one night yet their attraction to each other is undeniable and so they pursue things, then it becomes more. They are attracted to each other, but both have their reasons for not wanting anything serious until Nix gives Payton no choice, he wants her and her heart but will she let him in? Things are not what they seem and some people are not who you think they are but it has amazing twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. I really loved Nix and all his siblings and can’t wait for Stone’s story.
I don’t know how I feel about this book. On the one hand I liked where the story was going and it really was good. Then some parts just didn’t impress me much.
Nix was an amazing dad. He loved his daughter and he was sweet, funny, sexy and so much more. And when he met Payton it was instant attraction and even though he didn’t want a relationship (as his previous one just ended abruptly) he wanted to get to know her, spend time with her and bring her home, etc…
Then there was some weird parts (if you read the book you will understand) they suspense was killing me, and I liked that. But it also made you feel like you didn’t know where this was going and what was going to happen next.
And Nix and Payton initially was so good, I loved the back and forth banter. And the fact she didn’t give him an inch, but then it was hot one minute and totally cold the next.
Like I said some parts was good, so good and other parts were like WTH… I don’t even know if this should be here, lol… But if you like single dad books then definitely read it and maybe you will understand it better than me, lol
I have been waiting for Nix’s story since the very beginning. He is such a loyal brother to the others while still being the best dad that he knows how. The love he openly give to Becca is so sweet. The intrigue of the computer geek is strong. Sure he has been trying to hand the loss of Lexi with meaningless encounters, but I think that is more of a defense mechanism.
Peyton finds herself in a bad situation. Determined to follow the plan, she promised she would to her best friend. But with each encounter she becomes a little more involved with her heart. She tries to fight it, but when the cutest little girl is involved it is hard not too. She wasn’t looking for anything out of this adventure. She might have gotten way more than she expected.
Will Peyton’s secrets and reason for coming to town be enough to break the fast connection? Or will they be able to see through the past and find a new beginning?

This is a great read with an awesome storyline that has well developed and engaging characters that have lots of chemistry. The smooth flow of the storyline makes for a good reading time.

Another good book in this series. I have to admit I was confused through a good part of the book until Lexi’s backstory was fully revealed. The characters were complex and well developed. The story was tragic, funny, and heartwarming in turn. The dynamic between Nix and Payton was off the charts steamy. Cannot wait for the rest of the sibling stories.

Nix (Daring the Kane Brothers) by Kelly Gendron. I really like this series…and it just keeps getting better with each new character and storyline. This story contains a good mix of drama, sexy scenes, and strong characters. There is a nice balance of grit and steam throughout this book. I love the main characters – their chemistry is so HOT!

NIX is the fourth instalment in Kelly Gendron’s contemporary, adult DARING THE KANE BROTHERS erotic, romance series focusing on the Kane siblings. This is twenty-nine, year old computer programmer / single father Nickel ‘Nix’ Kane, and twenty-six year old, travel agent Payton Tucker’s story line. NIX can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. Daring the Kane Brothers is a spin-off from the author’s Breaking the Declan Brothers series.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Nix and Payton) NIX follows the building relationship between computer programmer / single father Nickel ‘Nix’ Kane, and travel agent Payton Tucker. Nix Kane can’t keep his eyes off of his brother’s new client, and while her car is in the shop for repairs, Nix offers Payton Tucker a ride to work but not before they have to make a detour for his six year old daughter Becca. Refusing to get swayed by Nickel ‘Nix’ Kane’s charm, Payton Tucker all but disappears from our hero’s life only for Nix to discover Payton has been volunteering for Becca’s upcoming dance recital. The push and pull of attraction keeps Nix circling within Payton’s orbit but all is not well in Nix’s well ordered life. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Nix and Payton, and the potential fall-out when the truth about Payton’s past is revealed.
Nix Kane is a single father whose former lover walked out of his and Becca’s life years before but a string of recent break-ins and assaults against our story line hero have Nix believing his past is searching for something important. Payton Tucker is a woman grieving the loss of her best friend but her latest assignment finds Payton battling between head and heart knowing that if she fails, she fails everyone she loves
The relationship between Nix and Payton is predicated upon several lies including the who, what, where and why of Payton’s appearance in the lives of Nix and his daughter Becca. Payton Tucker is a woman on a mission, a mission to get in and get out without falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Token and Harley #1: Steele Kane #2; Crash and Maggie #3; Crash’s employee Jaggs; their sister Lulu; and their mother Olivia Kane.
NIX is a story of family and friendship; secrets and lies; heart break and revelations; acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing and captivating but the guilty party was easily deduced; the characters are energetic and dynamic; the romance is passionate and seductive but I struggled with some issues of questionable consent, aggression and possible sexual assault, that in the age of #metoo, if the situation were reversed, some readers would be complaining about the actions of a particular story line character.
This is the 4th book in this amazing series and is Nix and Payton’s story. Nix is a sexy singe dad to a little girl and is a computer geek, who is not interested in getting into any relationship. Payton is in town for a reason, and there is an instant attraction between her and Nix. This is a well written story which is filled with mystery, secrets, drama, suspense, and love, which all had me intrigued and hooked throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
Nix Kane is a single dad, computer geek and not looking for love. He hasn’t wanted a relationship since Lexi left him and his daughter several years ago without a word. And he likes it that way until he gets a look at Payton Tucker. She checks off all the boxes in a woman he didn’t know he was looking for.
Payton seems to be a little to much like the woman that left him. She is there for a reason and to help a friend. She has to get close to Nix without losing her heart. She is surprised to learn he has a daughter.
Will Peyton be able to get what she can after and leave Nix? Can Nix trust her to not hurt him and his daughter? Who sent her and why? Will his girlfriend ever return?
I love this series and these Kane men get better with each brother. If you haven’t read anything from Kelly Gendron, you should and it doesn’t matter what you read. She will make you fall in love with the hero and heroine of each story. So grab a book and enjoy the ride. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Unexpected. Nix’s story surprised me. He is an amazing single dad to Becca. Their interactions are fabulous and his family is a wonderful support to them. When he meets Payton at his brother’s garage, he finds himself shocked by the attraction. After Lexi left him and Becca 5 years ago, finding a relationship was the last thing he wanted. Now, getting Payton to agree to a date, well, even that is a challenge. Now, how Payton and Nix’s journey unfolds, well, I was surprised at the underlying mystery that is revealed. This added a great dimension to both characters along with their sexy connection. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
We have met Nix in previous books. He is the computer geek, single dad, not looking for commitment Kane brother. This book gives you insight into Nix and it show that there is more to him that meets the eye. We gathered from other stories that Nix was left to raise his daughter when she was small and he been doing on his since with no word from her mom. Nix decide he does not need a meaningful relationship just occasional fun. Then he meets Payton and his view begins to change. Payton had a mission to complete and that was her only goal. Nix and Payton soon found out that sometimes the best laid plans change. I loved how this story had so many layers to it. It drew you in and kept you wondering how the pieces were all going to fall into place. This was really good read. There was just the right of emotions and suspense to draw you and keep your attention!
One Hot Daddy!!
Nix is father to beautiful little Becca who’s mom went to the store one day to never return when Becca was only one year old. Nix has been the sexy dad and helping himself to all of the PTA ladies he could get his hands on. Becca never seen or knew of his “dating” skills and Nix always put Becca first.
By chance Payton came into his life only to leave his head spinning with all of the secrets she held. Nix found out about who was really breaking into his house and the chaos his life was left in. Was he really ready to open his heart up to someone else after his wife walked out? You’ll have to read to find out all the twists and turns Nix’s story takes.
Even though this can be a standalone do yourself a favor and read about all the Kane brothers in this series. When you are done with those boys you need to check out the Declan boys as well. You won’t be disappointed.
