Nash wastes very little time in getting them into bed.

It’s interesting because you could call this a slow-burn in terms of the progression of Cal and Nellie’s adoration.

The Bully is pure unadulterated enemies-to-lovers. And Cal has now wrestled the top spot away from Reese Huxley as my favorite hero in Willa Nash’s Calamity Montana series. That misunderstood hero trope? It’s a sure thing, as far as I’m concerned. There is nothing more romance catnip than a seemingly mean-spirited hero with depths of trauma to hide a big heart. What I didn’t realize, what took me by surprise, was how much I love Nash’s characterization of Cal. I knew from Pierce and Kerrigan’s book, The Brazen, that I would like Cal and Nellie’s book, Willa Nash’s newest book, The Bully.
