  “I don’t trust my instincts around the man behind the wheel. He’s too good-looking.  Too confident. Too everything I’ve always tried to avoid in a man"

"He’s perfection. Everything about him is, from his looks to his singing and the way he carries himself.

From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, comes Bracing The Storm, a small-town, enemies-lovers romance! 
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 rockstar 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.
Author’s note – This is a romance book with a storyline that doesn't fit into one single book. It is book one in a duet, so beware of the cliff. If you can't handle cliffhangers, stop at the end of chapter 25 and let it be your temporary HEA.Buy now for $2.99 or read it for FREE in KU

Neighbors and Favors is now available

Hi guys,

Happy News today: My new standalone Neighbors and Favors is live.
It has been released under the pen name Kate Davis, because it's different from my other books.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Jessica x




BLURB:
New apartments should come with a trial period…
I’ve just signed a two-year lease on an apartment I can barely afford.
My job hit a brick wall so I need the place to be perfect to help me get my life back on track. But the first night in, and I already know my neighbor isn’t going to make it easy on me.
Tall, sexy, irresistible (and did I mention the British accent?), Shane Logan likes his nightly activities…a lot. I can hear everything through the paper-thin walls. I’m about to tell him that in not-so-friendly terms when I realize he isn’t just sexy, he’s also friendly and eager to be of help.
Maybe having a neighbor like him isn’t such a bad idea.
I’m a writer in desperate need of inspiration. Shane so happens to turn into mine. With a deadline approaching fast, his offer to do me a favor turns into two and three. Before I know it, he’s forced his way into my life with the tenacity of a whirlwind.
I can deal with the fact that he’s far too loud and far too sexy. But when my dog likes him more than me, I start to get a little suspicious. Soon it becomes clear Shane Logan has secrets.
Plunged into the suspicions surrounding my neighbor, suddenly the only thing I can be sure of is that Shane is fiercely determined to hide the truth about himself.
Remember when I said the lease should have come with a warning?
Well, mine should also have come with a big, red, flashing signal.

Author’s note – Neighbors and Favors is a full-length, clean romantic comedy with no cliffhanger.
 is now available at the following retailers:

Amazon US
Amazon UK
iTunes
Paperback

EXCERPT


“Well, hello, neighbor.”I stare at the six-foot-three British guy, taking in his lopsided grin and the cleaning gloves and garbage bags in his hands. He’s wearing a white, snug T-shirt and jeans that hang low on his hips—nothing remarkable, really, but for some reason, he looks like he’s stepped straight out of a fragrance advertisement—you know, the expensive kind.And for some reason, the realization annoys the heck out of me. No one looks so good in the middle of the night. I know I certainly don’t.“What do you want?” I squeeze through gritted teeth. My good manners have apparently deserted me.“Ah, now that’s neighborly friendliness if I ever saw some.” His lips stretch into a stunning smile with perfect, white teeth and two little dimples.I suck in my breath as another wave of annoyance hits me.Dimples.Does he have to have a perfect pair of those?I mean, why toss him a good thing or two from the genes pool when he can win the whole darn lottery?I bet his personality sucks.Apparently, Sammy doesn’t think so because she’s instantly stopped her barking and is now making those tiny wailing sounds that signal elation and are usually reserved for her best friends.Aka me.“Like I said, what do you want?” I really want to slam the door in the guy’s face but that goes against everything I stand for. So, I take a deep breath and begin my inner chant.Patience. Forbearance. I treat my neighbor as I want to be treated.“Anyone ever told you not to open the door to strangers when they come knocking in the middle of the night?” The guy’s grin widens.

Cover reveal THE BACHELOR AUCTION

Hi lovelies,
I'm so thrilled to share the sexy cover for my next romantic comedy!! →THE BACHELOR AUCTION: July 2, 2018Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2IKk7xg
Newsletter--> http://eepurl.com/bFUFVT

→THE BACHELOR AUCTION blurb...
All is fair in love and business…
My friend’s plan is pretty simple: win the bachelor auction in a charity event and get the most influential man to sign a business deal with us. It’s a do or die situation. But plans rarely go as you would expect.
When the bids begin to take ginormous proportions, my friend can’t stop in her rush of excitement. We don’t have the money. We can’t afford him, and yet, before I can even comprehend what’s happening, we’re the highest bid.“The bachelor” aka Tyler Becks isn’t old and ugly. He isn’t very business-like, either. In fact, it’s hard to imagine that someone with his brain and bank account can be this sexy.
He understands our cash-strapped situation and is kind enough to cancel the bid. Let us out of the contract. No hard feelings. Or so he claims.He’s even kind enough to want to work with us. With me, in particular. I can’t refuse, even though working for him means I have to see him every day. My future depends on it.I won't let my guard down. I won't fall for him, and particularly not now that I know he’s hiding something from me. Everything comes at a price. Even Tyler’s generosity.
But how much am I willing to pay? I’m about to find out.

Questions, questions

After receiving a few inquiries, I would like to clarify a few things to clear up any confusion.Love Addicts Anonymous Part 1 was originally released last year in November. It was initially intended to be released as three novellas.However, after hearing that you want a standalone, I unpublished it to rewrite it. In the last few months, I turned the book into a 96 000-word full-length standalone with no cliffhanger with a new title.Counting On You released this week and is now available on KU.I'm very happy with how this story developed. A lot of changes were made. A lot of love went into it. A lot of time, and a lot of thought. I want to thank everyone who bought a copy of this new release, and who loved Vicky and Kade as much as I do.THANK YOU ♥

COUNTING ON YOU is here!!

Look what's live!! COUNTING ON YOU is here!!





From New York Times Bestselling Author, J.C. Reed, and Jackie Steele comes a new standalone novel.

I have everything I want.
Success. Wealth. Women…and make that plenty of those. As a filthy-rich CEO, I would say I’m pretty much close to perfection. Except for that one weakness: I’m cocky as hell, and an irresistible magnet for women.

So when one tiny mistake lands me in hot waters with the investors, I have one hell of a choice to make:
Restore my reputation…
Or risk losing my company.

I’m a man of my word and failure is not an option. Not now. Not ever. I fully intend to uphold my responsibilities.

Sharing an apartment should be easy, right? And it’s only for six weeks.
That’s what I thought before I found out that my new roommate is female.
And wow.
Vicky Sullivan is unlike any woman I’ve ever met.
She’s hot as sin, and crazy.
Definitely not my kind of crazy, but too hot to pass up.
There’s something about her that makes me rage with want.
I don’t like her, but obviously my d*ck does. And what he wants, he gets.

Six weeks…
Living together shouldn’t be too hard…
Until my best friend challenges me to a bet…
I make it my mission to make her mine.

There’s only one problem.
I have to break…Every. Single. Rule.
And did I mention she’s completely off-limits?

It’s too late to say no.

A sizzling and romantic, enemies-to-lovers romp with steam!
Authors' note – Counting On You is a full-length (96 000 words), standalone novel with no cliffhanger.

Kaiden's POV and teaser

Hi guys,
We're officially in single digits now. My next sexy standalone, Counting On You, releases in less than 7 days, on June 5th. I'm so excited for you to meet Kaiden and Vicky.Three things you have to know about this book:
1. It's a full length standalone with no cliffhanger.
2. It's a rom-com.
3. It's written in dual POV.
Here's a teaser. "I want us to focus on us.” I stare at her, letting my words sink in. “You have something I need, and I can give you something you want. Call it a symbiosis. An intimate relationship with no commitment, but one that is of mutual benefit.”
Her lips twitch. “Are you comparing us with trees and spores?”
“Something like that.” I lean into her, brushing my lips against hers. “I’m into you, Vicky. I just don’t do relationships. I never made a secret out of that fact. If there’s a chance that we can help each other, then I don’t think we should stop. I just think we should make our own rules.”
“Rules?”
“Yeah. Rules.” I trace her cheekbone with my finger, cupping her face again. “Rule number one: you need to be honest with me at all times.” My thumb glides over her full lips that are quivering under my touch. “Rule number two: I want you to act on your desires. I honestly believe that sometimes the things that keep you obsessed are the things that might help you heal. If you want to touch me, go on and touch me. If you think of me, don’t just think. Act on your urge. If sex is what you crave, then let me fuck you.”
“What’s number three?” she whispers just as short of breath as I feel.
“Why do you assume there’s a rule number three?”
“Because the first two rules only seem to apply to me. You haven’t mentioned yourself yet.”
My lips curl into a smile. “This isn’t one of my rules so much as a general fact about me, but I’m going to teach you that love is overrated and sex is a cure.”
She laughs briefly. “That sounds wrong on so many levels.”
“How can sex be wrong? Sex doesn’t break your heart. Sex doesn’t need kindness to work out. Sex is never patient. It rarely boasts, and it always makes you feel good.”
“Did you just make that up?”
I look at her, wondering the same thing. “Maybe. All I’m saying is that I want you to let go of your limitations, fear, and expectations. Stop thinking about what’s wrong and live a little.”
