Can they heal and find happiness together?
Steele is the second book in the Kane brother series and an offshoot from the Declan Brother series.
Steele Kane is a stunt double whose job is everything to him. Though he is exacting and meticulous in his practice to perform his stunts without flaw, it is still a dangerous profession.
Jaylyn is beautiful, poised and serious. Her job with the insurance company is to ensure Steele complies with all safety rules, and compliance, and stay alive while on the set. But she’s finding it hard to fight her attraction to Steele. And Steele is such a complicated man. My heart breaks for him.
As they spend time together, the story unfolds to reveal that both Jaylyn and Steele have somewhat battered souls. Each has emotional scars that deeply hurt by their pasts. Can these two broken souls heal and find love? I was rooting for these two. A wonderful story that will tug at your heartstrings. I voluntarily received and reviewed an advance review copy from Booksprout.
The 2 main characters in this book are Steele and Jaylyn. Steele is a hot alpha male who has had no real time for love and has a dangerous job. Jaylyn has no interest in Steele and just wants to get her job done and not let him influence her. They have to spend time together so that Jaylyn can adequately access Steele’s work for insurance purposes. Steele sees this as a perfect time to make Jaylyn fall for him. This is a great story and enjoyable to read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
He does stunts for others and she is the insurance person sent to oversee him. He wants and she says no. Really good, exciting, suspenseful, emotional and so much more. I love this series. I received a review copy from booksprout and voluntarily review it.
This is the second book in the series and it was fantastic. Steele is a cocky stuntman who believes he is unlovable. Jaylin works for the stunt insurance company and has been emotionally closed off since the death of her fiance. The two clash immediately over the stunts Steele wants to do for their current movie; however, their chemistry is undeniable. They have some serious baggage and issues they have to work through but they do get their HEA. Look forward to reading the rest of this series.

Steele (Daring the Kane Brothers) by Kelly Gendron. Wow- what a fantastic story! The book is good, and the author has a flair for story telling that I find very entertaining. This story has a lot of drama, personal struggles and a good amount of sexy scenes. It’s a nice balance of grit and steam throughout this book. I love the main characters – their chemistry is HOT! I would definitely recommend this story to others.

I am just loving the Kane brothers this is the second book in the series and is just as good if not better than the first one. I just loved Steele and Jaylyn they were great characters and just fit together. This was a really good read and I would recommend this series I am really enjoying it
This story was good, but not as good as the first book in the series. Overall it was a good story with some excitement and burn. However, there were several times I found myself skimming over the pages to get to the next part. I would give book three a try tho, as I really enjoyed the first book in the series.

Mary –
Steele Kane is a professional stuntman and has been for years. When his latest movie has an insurance agent going over every one of his stunts to determine if they are too dangerous or not. Because if they are, then the insurance company has to pay out. While Steele sees the woman as the person to stop his most daring stunts, he also sees the strong, kind of stand-offish woman that pulls at him in every way. He wants to get to know her better but she is determined to do her job and get as far from him as she can.
Jaylyn Rigsby only wants to do her job and get out of California quick. She doesn’t want to spend any time with Steele Kane because he is bad for her female hormones. She seems to be drawn to him in more ways than one. But she has to be strong, do her job, and leave. But when Steels keeps wearing her down, she gives in and asks, “Are you sure I won’t fall in love with you?” Oh yeah, she is in trouble.
Can Steele and Jay get over the past and have a future together? Will she be able to be with him if he continues to be a stuntman and her the insurance agent? What happens if her gets hurt, will she be able to cope?
I am loving these brothers, and this is my favorite so far. While Steele keeps saying he can’t be loved, you just know that he will fall the hardest. The pain both Steele and Jay went through in their past will have you feeling it off the pages. If you love a great story and the love of many brothers, then you need to start this series, this is only book two and I can’t wait for book three to see what happens with Crash.

5 Steele Filled Stars!!!
Kelly Gendron has an amazing talent at writing amazing, sexy, beautifully flawed alpha men!! The Kane brothers are no different.
Steele’s a stunt double. He lives and breathes his jobs. Steele practices stunts over and over until he gets it right before he’ll do it in front of the camera. Other men in his profession haven’t had the best luck. Some guys can’t work anymore from injury and some have lost their lives. Steele doesn’t plan on being one of them.
Steele couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the beautiful women and ready to play when she shuts him down instantly. Then, he gets called into a meeting to meet the guy his insurance company sent to babysit him. It’s none other then the beautiful woman who wants nothing to do with him. Steele knows the next few weeks are going to be fun.
Jaylyn takes her job seriously. Another stuntman won’t loose his life if she has anything to say about it. But, Steele Kane made her feel something she hasn’t felt in three years and she knows she must stay away from him.
But, he makes it difficult. When he does what she tells him to do it backfires on her. Her job thinks she can tame him and she’s to follow him until the jobs done. Jaylyn let’s Steele know she hasn’t been with anybody since her fiancé’s death. Steele lets her know he’s unlovable and to use him. Use him to get back on the horse again.
Jaylyn isn’t sure it’s possible that Steele’s unlovable and if she even deserves a second chance after what she did. Steele can tell himself all day and night that what him and Jay have is temporary and that he doesn’t deserve to be loved. But, the more time he’s around her the more questions he’s asking. Particularly how to keep her.
Both Jaylyn and Steele had circumstances that made them think they didn’t deserve love. Which is farthest from the truth. They’re barely living. Faking it everyday. Until they meet and their hearts start to melt the darkness off and let the light in.
I read this in one day. I couldn’t put it down!!! I’m so in love with the Kane brothers it’s unreal. After the last 5 sentences I need Crash’s story. And, I need it STAT!!!
This is so much more than I expected! A smart, sexy, slow-build romance with mature characters that are beautifully crafted with depth and personality. The writing is superb, thoughtful and quality. I didn’t read the first book but I will because this one about daredevil Steele is fantastic. What a hunk! I love his profession and the natural entrance of his love interest into his life. No forcing together of our couple. He’s patient in his wooing of Jaylyn and even though he says it’s all about sex Steele puts way too much thought into his pursuit. I love a thinking man. Jay is a strong, smart heroine with tragedy in her past and she’s cautious in her dealings with men especially in Steele’s line of work. There are a lot of emotional and challenging issues to resolve on both sides but the attraction between the two is too strong to walk away from. They are so sexy together and they bring the heat. This is a beautiful journey to love that as a reader I was glad to be along for the ride. Just fabulous! A shout out to the rest of the sexy Kane brothers. Can’t wait for their stories. 4.5 stars
What happens when a man who says he is unlovable meets falls for a woman who is afraid to fall in love? Steele digs his way into Jay’s life and heart and forces her to face realities, but at what cost. Both of them have lived through some very harrowing experiences, those experiences have molded them into what they are now.
One of the Kane brothers refers to him as the Man of Steele, and Jaylyn being his Kryptonite, and I realized how fitting that is for their relationship. Kelly Gendron did an amazing job with their storyline, I could feel their despair, I could feel the losses they’ve been through. And at the same time, I could feel how they were falling in love.
You will want to read Steele’s story, as it contains one very strong and opinionated lady, and an even more opiniated hero, who is also very patient with is lady, just biding his time when he can pounce and grab her heart.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I loved reading about the Kane brothers again. I loved Steele. Jaylyn, while being a strong heroine, also shows some vulnerability. I liked how Steele was with Jaylyn. Both of their pasts keep them from wanting to get emotionally involved. I enjoyed the pace of the story and the flow. I thought the ending was perfect and I can’t wait to read Crash’s story.
Those Kane brothers….*sigh*….
This is Steele’s story, the man of Steel immuned to love until Jaylyn walks into his life. What a very complicated man, whom controls every aspect of his work and life and yes even in his sex life too. Even when his advances are stoned walled by Jaylyn, no matter he is determined and shows what a patient man he can be.
Jaylyn has her own complications she has had to endure and deal with, add to it now fighting her immediate attraction to Steele. Nor does Steele make it easy for her too.
Can they get through this without falling in love, with their wounded hearts intact?
As the story progresses and each of their wounded hearts and complications are revealed you are given a rollercoaster of emotions to ride right up until the end, as you are pulling for them to get their well deserved and needed Happy Ending…..but will they?
I really enjoyed The Kane Brother’s 2nd book!! Everyone needs some Steele in their life lol. Looking forward to the next Kane story…. hoping it comes crashing in real soon and not as long of a wait *wink*.
Steele is a risk taker, but of calculated risks. Falling in love is the one risk he’s sure will never happen until he meets Jaylynn.
Amazing story that will keep you engaged beyond the last page with its mix of emotions, sexual tension, gut wrenching heart break and story
Steele may have found is kryptonite in Jay. Both have baggage, the question is if they can sort through it in order to see that their no love commitment actually has love in it! I can’t wait to read the next book!
Loved this story.
I can only imagine what it was like for Stone and Steele concerning what they went through with their birth mother. I can only imagine the nightmare that their father must of felt.
Steele was pure sex on legs. He was a stunt man but did not have plan falling for any woman. It is pretty sad knowing that he kept his heart so guarded but I guess this is what made him perfect for Jay.
My heart broke as piece by piece Jay’s story came out. She suffered so much pain more then you can possible know. Not only did she live with pain of loss but she lived with guilt. To hold up as well as she did showed what a strong woman she truly was. I admire that in her.
I loved the chemistry between Steele and Jay. I loved that these two needed each other more then either one of them even known.
I loved the closeness of the brothers. I think their closeness is what makes this story so great. They are protective of each other and will go to bat for each other.
This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book. So can not wait for the next book.
Steele may have met his match. As a cocky, confident stunt man, the new insurance woman that must approve his stunts seems immune to his tactics. But he is captivated by Jaylyn, there is something in her eyes that keeps pulling him in so how does he get past her walls? As the king of one-night stands, he knows he has to have her. Jaylyn knows Steele’s type and doesn’t want anything to do with him. She is still grieving the loss of the love of her life so her focus is putting one foot in front of the other every day. The chemistry and connection are wonderful between Steele and Jaylyn. There are secrets in both of their lives that they seem to be connecting to but when the secrets are revealed, will it push them apart? Or bring them together? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
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.
Steele has real substance. He is a complicated character. He has a lot of emotional baggage that adds to his story and gives a bit of insight into the Kane family. Even better it has me gnawing my nails wanting MORE, MORE, MORE.
Steele doesn’t believe he can love or be loved. His past blocks his future. He is alone except for his family. Then he meet Jaylyn. He thinks he is immune. He is wrong.
Jay doesn’t think much of Steele’s career choice. Her past keeps her apart emotionally only keeping him safe from himself. She doesn’t love. She can’t love. She doesn’t believe she deserves it. She is wrong.
Come along on a wonderful journey of discovery. Learn that love cannot be controlled or rejected. Join me as I wait for Crash’s past to be revealed. Because Token and Steele are just the beginning. I dare you to fall in love with the Kane Brothers.
