Get to Know the Book
Title: The BluffAuthor: Devney Perry
Published: 2020
The Story at a Glance: As Calamity’s newest resident, Everly Christian thought life in small-town Montana would be dull and tame—and she needs a little mundane after the last few chaotic years. But one night, boredom drives her to the local bar, where she finds herself sitting beside a handsome and mysterious artist. The man is anything but dull and tame, especially in the bedroom, and when she steps out of his shower and overhears his conversation, life gets interesting again. Reese Huxley needs a wife. And why shouldn’t Everly be the bride?
My thoughts…
Rating:
This was a sweet, heartwarming read with plenty of charm. I really enjoyed the fake marriage setup—it gave us some fun banter, awkward moments, and genuine emotional beats. The dynamic between Everly and Hux felt authentic, full of sparks, emotional vulnerability
That said, the book didn’t grip me quite like the first one in the series. The pacing felt a bit slower, and I didn’t connect with the characters as deeply this time around. Still, it was funny, romantic, and had that signature cozy Calamity feel. A decent read overall, and perfect if you’re in the mood for something light and comforting with a slow-burn romances, marriage-of-convenience, quirky small-town settings and a bit of spice.
