Nellie Rivera is trading traffic for tranquility. When the quiet streets of small-town Montana beckon, she leaves Denver behind and moves to Calamity. It would be the perfect adventure if not for Cal Stark.

When her archnemesis dares to show his face one Saturday morning, declaring he is moving there too, she vows to make his life a misery. The town isn’t big enough for the both of them and besides . . .

She was here first.

Cal has been a thorn in her side since high school. He might have bullied her back then, but she’s not a modest teenager anymore and has learned a few plays of her own. If all goes to plan, she’ll run the former pro quarterback out of town within a month.

There’s only one problem. Cal has the same plan. He wants Calamity bad enough to pull out all the stops. And after one kiss, she realizes that he doesn’t play fair.

The Bully by Willa Nash was an amazing read … this book was so much more than the blurb… it was an amazing look at the past and how it looks different through each person’s lens.

Nellie Rivera and retired pro-NHL’er Cal Stark’s love story started in high school and as their lives intertwine again in adulthood revisits those emotions and brings them to the forefront as they both now live in the same small town.

Nellie and Cal’s connection bleeds off the pages…. having said that for me I think the most powerful piece of this book is the look at what it is like to be a professional athlete, the sacrifice, the lack of privacy, and how the world determines who you are regardless of the real you.

As you take this journey with Nellie and Cal make sure to sign up to get the bonus epilogue as it really brings this story full circle.

Calamity Montana is one of my favorites… and I am super excited for The Brawl next!
