James might be the most infuriating character I have ever read about, but his family is right up there, because how did they not realize how much help he needed?! The James/Winnie dynamic was great once you look past the fact that you want to strangle James most of the book

The bluff by Emma St Clair and the second book in the Graham brothers sweet romcom series. It’s got some of my favorite tropes: enemies to lovers, grumpy x sunshine and is a closed door workplace romance with kissing only.
James may come off as cold and detached, the opposite of a people person. As an introvert myself I get that feeling off being overwhelmed to an extent. Although he’s an extreme case, very impulsive and irrational when he’s overstimulated. But I like the idea that a certain person can make it more bearable, help him work thru that anxiety.
“you can’t control everything. You have to take the risk. You have to try. Even if sometimes you lose”
Winnie is also great, a strong female MC that keep surprising me throughout the book.
Other than that I also loved the pop culture references about The office. The cat mission, the Graham’s family dynamics and the epilogue is just amazing. Even though it’s part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone which is what I did, but I’ll have to go back and read the first one because this is just so good!
Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher and author for providing me a copy to review.

I wish we had a better understanding of why these two hated each other so much. The hate and sexual tension existing side-by-side feel quite overdone at first, but once the book gets going it’s better.
