The Bluff
by Emma St. Clair
Reader’s Notes:
– this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone
– this is told from Winnie & James’s points of view
Review:
There is just so so much about this story that I loved! From James & Winnie’s banter to the residents of Sheet Cake, it led to a great many laughs! And I think I stopped highlighting passages after getting 20% into the book because of how sucked into it I got! Some of my favorite scenes included: not just family poker night, the talk Chevy had with James and how they both reacted during that conversation, James and Jo playing chess, the Thanksgiving celebration, what happened after Winnie’s nightmare, and anything that included the orange cat.
Winnie is determined to do well working for James. At first, it’s because she needs something to pay the bills while deciding what she wants to do with her life. But then Winnie learns more about the business and can’t stop asking questions and coming up with ideas. If only James would take her ideas and use them…instead of taking pleasure in keeping her and her ideas on the outskirts. Maybe the best way to get him out of this is to bug him into submission while being the best at her job…
James didn’t want to expand his business, but he’d do just about anything for his family. Even if that means hiring his brother’s new wife’s best friend because they asked him to. Even though Winnie is too gorgeous for her own good and sends him into a bit of a tailspin just being there. With her confidence, he’s definitely out of his element around her and keeps pushing her away in hopes that whatever she’s doing to him will just go away. But when does that ever really work?
