The Bluff by Willa Nash, Devney Perry
5.0
Note: An ARC was provided by the author via Valentine PR.
Whether she writes under Devney Perry or her not-so-secret pen name of Willa Nash, this author never fails to get my heart absolutely invested in her characters and their story. The latest bit of evidence of my statement is the second full-length novel in her Calamity Falls series. The Bluff is the story of Everly Christian and Reese Huxley. If you've read the series starter, The Bribe, you'll remember both Everly and Hux; having said that, you don't necessarily need to read one in order to fully appreciate or understand the other. However, allow me to encourage you to read the books in order because there's a life-altering event in the first book involving Everly and Hux's teenage daughter, Savannah.
Goodness, but how these two main characters put my heart through the wringer, especially in the last few chapters! Gah! There were times where I was so darn tempted to smack Hux upside the head and shake Everly so that they'd see sense for totally opposite reasons, but these two needed to figure things out on their own, and well, I had to sit back and wait. After all, I knew they were going to get their happily-ever-after, but my poor heart broke each time Hux kept Everly at a distance. And then there was the straw the broke the camel's back, and argh, I so wanted to scream at Hux. He did, however, redeem himself, and quite heartbreakingly and beautifully, I might add. Five stars go to The Bluff.
