ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 25, 2025

The guy I just met at the mansion I inherited from a complete stranger?
He’s drop dead gorgeous. Sexy. And rude with a Capital R.
Turns out he’s not the hot gardener as I wrongly assumed. He’s not
only a famous rock star who grew up in the house, he’s also ready to
fight for it. And being both hot-headed and Irish, he’s going to fight
hard and dirty.

I’m not moving out. Full Stop.
But neither is he. So we agree on some simple rules.

We’ll play roommates for a while. What could possibly go wrong?
Living together with an Irish Hothead will surely cause a major storm.
Let’s hope bracing that storm won’t turn into a hurricane.

REVIEW: BRACING THE STORM is the first instalment in JC Reed’s contemporary, adult, erotic rockstar duet focusing on rock star  Patrick Walsh and Lori Crest.

Told from first person perspective (Lori) BRACING THE STORM follows Lori Crest on her journey to Ireland in the wake of inheriting a mansion from a woman she barely knew but Lori’s arrival in Ireland is met with trepidation of the unknown when our heroine discovers she is not alone. Enter Patrick Walsh, the previous owner’s son, and a man who refuses to step aside for our story line heroine. As the relationship between Patrick and Lori enters a state of détente, the appearance of the ultimate betrayal send our heroine on the run, in an effort to save her heart and her fracture self-esteem.

The world building follows Lori as she begins to establish a relationship not only with her ‘roommate’ but with the residents of a small countryside village in Ireland . As Lori struggles to come to terms with the reality of her life, a secret reveals the truth she never knew.

The relationship between Lori and Patrick begins acrimoniously. Patrick refuses to accept Lori’s explanation, and the inheritance of the family home, and in this, our couple begin to push one another’s buttons until someone pushes too far. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

We are introduced to several local villagers, as well as Lori’s friend Mia, café owner Sinead, and local attorney Duncan Ellis.

BRACING THE STORM is a story of secrets, betrayal, family and loss. The fast paced premise is intriguing and emotional; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate and determined. BRACING THE STORM ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
