Release Day Review: The Brazen (Calamity Montana #3) by Willa Nash
The Brazen by Willa Nash is now live!
Kerrigan Hale's personal life is about as exciting as a bucket of tar. With hard work and hustle as her steadfast companions, who needs romance or adventure? Her empire in Calamity, Montana, isn't going to build itself.
For years, her mentor--and investor--helped make her dreams come true. Until his unexpected death put her fate in his grandson's hands. A brazen billionaire, he seems intent on ruining Kerrigan's life.
But if Pierce Sullivan thinks she'll go down without a fight, he's sorely mistaken. Pushed to the extreme, she drives to his ritzy mountain lodge to force the arrogant You Can Call Me Mr. Sullivan to hear her out.
No sooner does she arrive than a snowstorm traps her with Pierce. Stranded together for days, she's in for the battle of her life. Pierce is nearly irresistible by candlelight. Without his suits and fancy cars, he's almost human.
Except only a fool would let down her guard. And Kerrigan can't risk her future. Not when she doesn't know if he's out to pilfer her dreams . . . or to steal her heart.
Willa Nash returns to Calamity Montana with The Brazen for a story about Kerrigan Hale, a local Calamity entrepreneur. When her financial advisor and backer dies in a tragic accident, Kerrigan is forced to deal with his angry grandson, Pierce Sullivan. Pierce has some family grudges that he's playing out and demands that Kerrigan come up with the money loaned to her. They start out as enemies as Pierce tries to put Montana behind him. But everything changes when an angry, intoxicated Kerrigan makes a visit to Pierce's hotel room where one things leads to another and they engage in a blistering kiss.They say there is a fine line between love and hate and Kerrigan and Pierce start out straddling that line. Kerrigan hates Pierce, but that kiss... well, romance readers know right where this is going. The kiss becomes important to both of them -- and when Pierce and Kerrigan both are stranded at grandad's luxury cabin during a storm, it leads them to explore whether that amazing kiss was just a one time thing or not.The Brazen is a steamy story that does contain the elements of "insta-love" but it is done in a very believable way. There's something between these two than neither can deny but it does take time, a huge secret and a burned house to get everyone on the same page.I didn't like Pierce at first, but I did understand his anguish and how his anger manifested. But he comes through in a major way when it counts, making for a really sweet story that shows the lovely way he demonstrates how he cares. Most of all, I loved what this story had to say about small towns and the loss of people and businesses that keep them alive. For me, this story was a lot about Calamity and Kerrigan's dedication to the town she loves. The Brazen is a feel-good enemies to lovers romance that won't take long to read and left this reader smiling. I like this author's take on living and thriving in a small town.
