We love Elliott Rose over here. Back in the Spring, I blew through the Port Macabre series. It was fantastic. If Dark Polyamorous Romances are your jam, check it out. After attempting the Chestnut Springs series by Elsie Silver, I was leery of reading another cowboy romance but Braving the Storm caught my eye. I knew, if anyone was to write a cowboy romance up my alley it would be Rose.

Braving the Storm Review

Minor Spoilers

Do I need to stop staring at my uncle’s ass in those jeans?
Absolutely.

Braving the Storm by Elliott Rose is book two in the Crimson Ridge series. And yes, I did in fact start this series with the second book. Crimson Ridge is an interconnected standalone series. You do not need to read every book or in chronological order to enjoy it. The tropes in Braving the Storm are right up my alley- adopted uncle x estranged niece, age gap taboo goodness.

Briar has been having an awful time lately. Her sister is the absolute worst and she just caught her bf cheating. So she does what any girl with a cabin in the mountains would do. She runs away. Only she’s never laid eyes on the cabin and her father neglected to tell her his estranged adopted brother lived there. Poor Briar was ill prepared for life in the snowy mountain town of Crimson Ridge. Or her uncle and his lessons.

I did not expect to fall in love with the grumpy ex-pro bull rider Stôrmand Lane. I am not at all surprised though, Rose can write a fantastic mmc. Storm’s reclusive life in Crimson Ridge is turned upside down the night he comes home and mistakes his estranged niece for a buckle bunny.

Braving the Storm is a slow burn romance. The tension between Briar and Storm as they maneuver their way around the tiny one room cabin is exquisite. The dual pov style writing works wonders, giving us the full experience of the forbidden fire smoldering between the two characters.

I went into Braving the Storm knowing the plot would be a lot lighter than the Port Macabre series. For me, when it comes to romance, the darker the better. Even though Braving the Storm is light and fluffy, I had an amazing time reading it. Both of the main characters were great and the plot was fun. In fact I liked it so much I am going to go back and read book one, Chasing the Wild.
