This book! This book! What words do a say?
I loved this story, James is such a great character- grumpy, intense, vulnerable & so sweet!
Of course Winnie is a wonderful sassy smart ass, who is full of spunk, and loyal.
Watching these two go through the gamut of emotions from “enemies to lovers” it took a lot of work on both their parts, but they both came a long way.
This one had me laughing hard (and snorting) and also had me crying.

What's NOT to love about Winnie and James? He's the grump (oh the grump is on a totally different level than most grumps....I mean, the man loves the word NO!) and she's the sunshine!
Emma is making James (and his brother Pat from The Buy-In) fight for my affection as book boyfriends 😍
This book has a whole lot of the town I love and lots of very funny laugh out loud moments. The pop culture references (look forward to some of The Office and what Meatloaf MIGHT have been talking about when he says "I will do anything for love but I won't do THAT"). There were also some tears shed as Winnie and her brother Chevy talk about their dad (not OVER the dad but you have to read to know).
It has heart and brightness, struggles and fears, but ultimately love conquers all!

I LOVED THIS.
Oh wow does Emma St. Clair never disappoint.
Let’s run a small list of things you can find in The Bluff:
- Grump x Sunshine
- One bed (but keep it sweet)
- Beer conventions in Austin, TX
- Taking care of someone after a nightmare
- Major groveling
- Dealing with loss of a parent (off page, in past)
- ELEVATOR MAKE-OUTS + all the other swoony kisses
I love the way these closed door romances are written. They are sizzling while keeping the spice away. Another reason to give these types of romances a chance.
I absolutely LOVED Winnie and James. There banter was perfect. The chemistry, off the charts. And the raw way they learned to speak to one another made my heart want to burst. An undeniable connection (but with out being insta-love) from the beginning, I could NOT get enough of these two. Gimme more.
The plot moved steadily and it was filled with plenty of forced proximity, but also, necessary time apart. I liked the character growth on both sides (but especially James). I’m obsessed with anything St. Clair writes and this was another hit. My current fav of this series.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
