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.

This book really got me. I almost stoped reading it because it was so hard to read. Nellie was truly horrible to Cal and just kept at Cal for past issues. Granted they both had some issues from childhood and needed to face the truth but it was harsh for more than half the book. I’m glad Nellie was the bigger person and went after them. It was really interesting reading the diary entries and Cal realizing he was also mean in school yet he had a hard home life too. I felt Nellie parents not liking Cal really didn’t get resolved enough just a little in the extra prologue. That’s why it got 3 stars just a hard read and not my favorite type of story. Way beyond an enemy to livers trope.

From Hate to Love - this romance was HOT!

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022

“Outside the bedroom, I fought him tooth and nail for control. But the rules were different when our clothes began hitting the floor.”

Talk about a tension filled enemies to lover’s romance! The jabs, the snide comments, if these two weren’t pushing each other’s buttons they were fighting off the sexual chemistry between them! And believe me, there was no forgive and forget for Cal and Nellie, old hurts from high school remained between them years later, I felt sympathy for both their sides, but Nellie’s jabs as an adult hurt just a little more. Cal and his lonely heart really made me want to hug him, every “Tell me what you hate about me” broke my heart. So, while he may have seemed to have it all after retiring from football, he was lost and kept his heart closed off and I ached for Nellie to realize all his jabs were to protect himself from more heartache, not to hurt her.

“Taunting her was like trash-talking the best lineman on a fourth-down conversion attempt. Either I’d find a way to get the ball down field, or I’d get my butt sacked. Regardless, the game was a rush.”

Cal put on this tough guy persona, easier to come off as the jerk than to let people see his tender heart below, a great defense mechanism to keep Nellie at arm’s length. But with the revelations from Nellie’s freshman year diary, all the hate filled moments looked different, his eyes were opened to how he truly hurt her back then, even if his intentions were to protect her. I admired Nellie’s strength to persevere despite her insecurities, she grew up a lot over the years but her hatred for Cal remained. Nellie just wanted to fit in and that is something we can all relate to. I cheered once they let their walls drop, seeing that they both were a little lonely and fit perfect together, they weren’t as different after all. And the hate sex, HOT DANG, these two were fire together! Absolutely loving this series!

“Life’s not about what most people think. Life’s about finding the right people. The ones who will take you at your worst, so you can give them your best.”

Epic Enemies to Lovers Romance

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022

Holy wow, I knew Cal and Nellie would be explosive, but at the risk of repeating myself, Ho. Ly. WOW! I’m surprised the small Montana town of Calamity is still standing after the incendiary chemistry and magnificent clashes of stubbornness these two share on their very rocky road to forever. I knew their story would be a doozy, but still, I was not prepared for this. These two are both oil and water, and fire and gasoline.

Cal and Nellie not only have friends in common, who they try not to drag into their drama, but they have a history. And their history has history. I honestly didn’t know who to love and who to hate, but then I figured they had the hate side more than covered between the two of them, and really, it's impossible not to love them. But you know what they say about a strong feeling like hate . . .

As Nash's stories always do, this one ruined me in the best of ways. The more that was revealed about these characters and the more I saw their complexities and vulnerabilities, the more they absconded with my heart. I read this straight through in one sitting because I absolutely had to know how everything worked out, and I had to know now!

With complicated, endearing characters and a heartfelt, angsty story, you'll find your emotions tumbled and tossed and love every second of it. It's sweet, poignant, and a little heart breaking, with flashes of humor and blazes of steam, making it a charming, euphoric, mesmerizing read that you absolutely won’t want to miss!

5 When Hate Turns to Love Stars!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

Imagine when the person you hate the most in this world moves to your little town that you’ve just moved to as well and he’s determined to make your life miserable just because he can!! This is Nellie and Cal in a nutshell… until things start to change because of one act that brings an entirely new understanding to why Nellie doesn’t want Cal in Calamity.

I fell in love with these two. And on so many levels I connected with and empathized with Nellie. I experienced a lot of the same things she went through in high school that we learn about in flashback memories and my heart just hurt for her so much. Unlike when they were in high school, Nellie now “fights back” with the comments and innuendos that Cal makes every time they see each other.

Of course what’s underlying all their bickering is the very palpable chemistry bubbling between them and when they give in… holy moly they’re ON FIRE!!! Throughout this book, little changes are being made by each of them and seeing how they come to understand who they are today and what’s hidden underneath the public persona had me glued to my kindle. I loved how their frenemie relationship switched to a true friendship and ultimately love.

Nellie truly shows Cal that it’s okay to be vulnerable and express love which is something he’s never experienced before. We learn so much about why Cal is the way he is and how his love for this woman only makes him a better man. Along the way to their HEA there are so many laugh out loud moments thanks in part to Cal’s neighbor Harry, but also passion and discovery which just makes this book a fabulous read!!

I want to live in Calamity Montana

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2022

The fourth instalment of the Calamity Montana series is everything you could want and more in an enemies to lovers romance.

Cal and Nellie were friends once upon a time, though they were only kids and an unlikely pair, there was something that drew them together, until one day a misunderstanding changed that and battle lines were drawn. Nellie was the scholarship kid and Cal was the football star who made her life a misery.

Years later, both having the same best friend, they end up back in the same small town, but this time Nellie isn’t going to hide, she’s worked to hard and earned her place in Calamity, she’s not going to let Cal run her away, this town isn’t big enough for them both and Nellie decides the only solution is for Cal to go. One thing she didn’t count on though, is the undeniable attraction between them and the pesky problem that they can’t keep their hands off each other!

I loved Nellie and Cal’s story, it was angsty, it was heartfelt and it was real. At times Nellie became the bully she had accused Cal of being, but in the end they each made mistakes which ended up bringing them closer. This wasn’t your typical romance, and I think that’s what made it so special, there were ups and downs but in the end, they finally got the HEA they were destined to.

A fantastic read, great supporting characters and more questions leading to hopefully more stories to come!

Fantastic Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2022

Willa Nash is one of my one click authors. She has never disappointed me and The Bully was no exception. For me, it’s one of the best enemies to lovers romances I’ve read. Cal Stark and Nellie Rivera met in high school where he was Mr Popular – handsome, wealthy and the star of the football team whereas Nellie was a scholarship student whose father mowed the lawns of the other kids. Roll forward twenty years and Cal has retired from his football career and moved to the same town as Nellie only to find she’s still holding a grudge about things he did in school that honestly were no worse than anything your typical teenage boy would’ve done and does her best to run him out of Calamity in a whole ‘this town ain’t big enough for the two of us’ scenario. It’s just a pity they can’t keep their hands off each other in the process.

This book was just an amazing heartfelt read. My heart hurt for Cal. He cut such a lonely figure. For all he was Mr Popular in school, he’d spent his life trying so hard to be the opposite of his father that everyone had the wrong impression of who he truly was and only saw his bad boy of football persona. He didn’t let anyone close enough to see the real Cal beneath all the bravado. He only had one true friend and had to share him with Nellie. Nellie had my sympathies to start with but the more I read I just thought she had become a bigger bully than Cal ever was. In her adulthood she’d turned into one of the mean girls who’d made her life a misery. Her only saving Grace was her regret at causing him pain

Every time I read a Willa Nash book I just think right she can’t beat this one but The Bully takes this to a whole new level. I really can’t see how she can possibly top this book but I also can’t wait to see her try and read what happens next in Calamity, Montana

Hidden feelings!

Cal Stark and Nellie Rivera met at school when they were 14 and have had a type of hate relationship ever since. Over the years they have bumped into each other and started a hate with benefits relationship. When Cal steaks one of Nellie's diaries, he sees the harm he caused Nellie whilst they were at school and how some of the incidents he saw differently. When they both end up living in Calamity, can the close proximity allow them to be truthful with their emotions? Can they leave the past behind and start a new future? Will the close proximity make the animosity worse? This was such an emotional read and the journey Cal and Nellie take, seeing the person hidden behind the hate pulling the heartstrings. Can't wait for the next Willa Nash book

heart squishing

Cal has just retired from football, and since he is at a loss as to what to do with his life, is easily persuaded by his friend, Pierce, to move to Calamity. The only problem is that Nellie has also just moved there, and Cal and Nellie have hated each other for years.

All they do is rile each other up and argue, and then (as they got older) secretly hook up for a one night stand. Over and over. For four years.

So when Cal accidentally comes across a box of Nellie’s old diaries, and not-at-all-accidentally takes one home with him, he’s horrified to see just how much his actions in high school affected her.

Cal is such a good man but hates showing it, which is why he’s labelled a jerk more often than not by those who don’t really know him. And since he never really lets anyone in, only a select few know how truly wonderful and generous he is. Grumpy but soft and vulnerable inside.

Nellie can’t deal with the idea that Cal is moving to her new town and so comes up with a plan to run him off. Except every time she’s mean to him, she feels such an immense guilt because she’s such a kind soul in reality.

I love how Cal and Nellie are basically the only ones who don’t realise that they don’t actually hate each other, even though no one verbalises it. Except for Harry of course. I want to be her when I grow up.

The chapters vary between his and her POV, as well as some of her diary entries. It’s fascinating to see how differently Cal remembers the events that Nellie had written about, because for certain occasions he actually had good reasons for what he did. Granted his execution wasn’t always well thought out but he was a teenage boy so…I don’t think tactics were high on his agenda then.

Cal’s vulnerability and fear of rejection just squished my little heart so much! Yes, Nellie had the fear of rejection too, and my heart broke for her at the BBQ, but Cal made me want to wrap him up and protect him from the big bad world.

Bit disappointed!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2022

Have so far enjoyed being in Calamity but I'm afraid Nellie and Cal just didn't do it for me. Both characters got on my nerves, Nellie more so. They spent practically the whole book either being really nasty to each other or having sex!
The actual storyline was pretty good but heck it got boring in places. It was like rinse and repeat. Then eventually everything was shoved in a quick 5 minute epilogue which was less than satisfying. I can't even download the bonus chapter sadly.
Never mind I'll still try the Brawl.
