Stuntman Romance #1

Breaking Autumn (Stuntman Romance #1

Rate this book
I live, train, fight and f*ck hard. And if she wants to become a star she's going to have to do everything I say.

I'm Hollywood's best kept secret and I'll do anything to keep it that way.
No one can know all the bad sh*t I did to become the world's most dangerous stuntman.
All your favorite action heroes were trained by me, but I'm no hero. I've made a thousand mistakes in my life.
The biggest one was saving Autumn Moore.
Now, because of a viral video, I'm being blackmailed into doing the impossible. I have one month to take this geeky, starry-eyed YouTube celebrity, and make her a bad ass leading lady.
I expected her to fall apart when I got my hands on her.
What I never expected was her strength.
Her beautiful innocence threatens every lie I've told myself about happiness not being for me. When I'm with her, I can feel parts of my heart that I thought were numb.
But it doesn't matter. The dark past I've been trying to outrun is about to show up on my doorstep.
When it does, it'll destroy us both.

Breaking Autumn is a standalone, full-length romance with a HEA and NO cliffhangers or cheating. It's a white-knuckled, screaming hot, sex-fueled thrill ride into the dangerous world of film and stunts and was written by a real life professional stuntman, American Ninja Warrior athlete and (as of this book) cover model!

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Stuntman....American Ninja Warrior....Romance Author....Cover Model...is there anything Jackson Kane doesn't do?

The blurb said it best.  Sex-fueled thrill ride.  WOW!  Jackson nailed this one!  Action and power, angst and humor.  All in one freaking book!

If you looked up badass in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Dante Marks.  Being a swoon-worthy stuntman, he is used to getting what he wants, but when he is tasked to get the naive YouTuber, Autumn Moore ready for stardom, he soon realizes the job might be harder than he ever imagined.

Placed together on his sprawling California estate, Autumn is forced into a grueling training regimen and gone is the sweet talking man she encountered on the boat.

As the sweat pours and the days go by, she slowly starts chiseling away his hardened exterior and finds a men that holds many demons.  But when the demons finally catch up with him, she realizes that she could loose more than just her heart.

Closing notes:  You will LOVE Autumn's mom, she is freaking hilarious! And the cover model is kinda hot too ;)

Favorite Scene: The Plymouth scene with Mitch

Favorite Quotes:
He could’ve kept his distance, but he didn’t. He let me in. I saw the real him. And it was beautiful."

“Even if we only have girls?” she asked, teasingly.
“You’ll just have to do it until you get it right.”
“Fuck you!” Autumn laughed and punched me in the chest. “It’s a vagina not a clown car.”

Rush out and get this incredible story!
OMG! This book is incredible. Jackson Kane once again shows what a talented writer he is. His building of the story line and the complete rounding out of his characters in this book are awesome.
The story contains suspense, twist and turn, coercion, betrayal, fear, humor, love, and sex scenes.
Dante is the main male character and he has demons in his past. He is just waiting for them to catch up to him. Autumn is the main female character. She is a shy, awkward, girl trying to make enough money to help her mother. They are thrown together in the movie making world.
You have to read this book. I couldn’t put it down until I had finished it. Believe me it takes you on a dream world trip you won’t forget! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is a new-to-me author and I the blurb caught my interest so I gave him a try. I have to say that I was impressed with the story building and character interaction. Jackson Kane did not rely on the standard male writer trope, the usual alpha-male chest-pounding posturing hero, which was refreshing.

Kane's lead, Dante Marks, is a stunt man; handsome, built, capable. He has secrets which have damaged him yet he acknowledges them. Kane wrote a good guy who admits has wrongs that he has to right without over dramatization and angst. The female lead, Autumn, is a likeable, relatable character. A smart, compassionate, woman who has dreams and is willing to go the extra mile for those she loves. These are two regular people in extraordinary circumstances.

The story itself moves a at great page-turning pace with a good balance between character interaction, inner monologues and action. The sex scenes are well done and add nicely to the romance. There are some typos but they are few and minor. I look forward to picking up more titles from this author.

Amazing

OMG this book was so amazing I nearly died each time I had to put it down.
Dante Marks the handsomely, good-looking stuntman made my day each time he was mentioned and Autumn Moore the Shy but awesome YouTube sensation made me wish I was her whenever she was with Dante ( except when she was training)

I loved this book the characters meshed well together to form an amazing Duo that became red hot throughout the book.
I despise Dante's old crew and the produces of the show because they tried to hurt Autumn and thought it was a close call and few times but good guys always come out on top.
Loved this book. It rocked :)

I would have rated this 5 stars if not for the grammatical errors. I'll probably be bashed by that comment but I couldn't let it go.

I'm one of those persons who can't let go of the misuse of "your" and "you're", and "there" and "their".

Grammatical errors aside, this one had promise. I just felt like the ending was a bit rushed. I liked the pace and development of the story and characters, though.

Autumn and Dante had chemistry and I loved learning about what goes behind the stunts we watch. Jackson Kane, being a real-life stuntman and athlete, really knows his stuff and I liked that he wasn't too technical.

Jackson Kane does it again!......in spades!!!

Oh. My. Days!! What the heck just happened?!! I feel like I have been thrown into this book at full tilt without safety pads!
I am still catching my breath!! The adrenaline is still coursing through my veins! This book grabbed me from the first page and I couldn't turn the pages quick enough to see what was going to happen.
Autumn and Dante have an almost instant connection and the heat between the two is literally volcanic!
Sit down, buckle up, you are in for one heck of a bumpy ride.......in more ways than one!!

LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! Jackson Kane has done it again! Awesomely told tale of the real-life of a Hollywood stuntman woven into a compelling story with some (hopefully) exaggerated elements.Go along on the roller coaster ride as Dante and Autumn navigate their almost, non-relationship while he trains her to hopefully not die on the set of her next movie, while also looking convincing performing her own stunts herself. Pick up Breaking Autumn today and Dante won't only break Autumn, he'll break you.

I loved that Jackson wrote about something near and dear to him. He did it all with this book - stuntman writing a stuntman romance with some troubled characters, and he was his very own cover model! Pretty impressive! Dante is a man haunted by his past. He and Autumn weren't good for each other, but that didn't stop the electric chemistry that sparked between them. Trouble on the horizon comes - can these two weather the storm? You have to read this! Great action, steam, and maybe even love!

Favorite Season

My first Jackson Kane book! It was hard to read this and not put the sexy man on the cover as Dante. The storyline was incredibly well written. The chemistry between Autumn and Dante was so palpable that my heart was reading the words more than my eyes. As the drama unfolded I held my breath hoping that the two would make it until the end. I'm so glad I chose to read Kane's latest and looking forward to reading more.

Dante & Autumn are off the charts sexy in this story. It’s not everyday you read a book about stuntmen and knowing that the Author himself is one gives the book a more personal touch, the story feels even more relatable knowing some scenarios are coming from possible personal experience. If you’re looking for a great steamy adventure filled read then this is the book for you and who doesn’t love a HEA. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Autumn is trying to break into the movies as an actress and almost gets seriously hurt when a stunt goes wrong. Dante saves her from near catastrophe, that's how they meet and boy do sparks fly. A fabulous insiders look at stunts and the work that goes into making them successful, in addition to top notch characters that you root for even when you want to slap them upside their heads. Great writing and a wonderful plot. I loved this story from Jackson Kane!

Dante is a sexy stuntman who has secrets to hide. Now he is being blackmailed to help Autumn change from a geeky girl into a tough leading lady. Plenty of drama lots of emotion and steam. I really liked the characters and the drama held my interest throughout. I was hooked from beginning to end. A great read, loved it.

Wow!!!! Totally a new fav from JK

You have a YouTube Celebrity who goes for an acting job. She is saved by sex on legs Dante during a stunt accident per say.

Autumn has a mom who is a crack up time and time again. She is sick though. That leaves Autumn no choice but to go for another job but doing so she has to move w Dante whom she has hooked up with. Yum!!!

This is a story filled with action. Suspense. Love. I just totally fell in love w the story from beginning to the end.

Must read!!
