Publisher's summary

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.

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. I thought they were adults. But the story feels like teenagers. if I wanted a teenage themed book I would have bought it. wish I could get a refund. The first three books were amazing but this one disappointed.

Narrator Male 5 Female 2 stars

I found the female narrator's voice whiny, high and irritating. Then the storyline had the two characters bickering all the time and not in a fun way. Disappointing but do recommend this author generally.

Wonderful series

I have enjoyed all of the books in the series so I was excited to see this newest release. There’s just something about the small town of Calamity, Montana that makes you wish you could live there.

was okay book

I struggled with this book for a few reasons. female narrator was irritating and the heroine came off as whiney and unrelenting in her passed feelings.

Great book. terrible narration.

the book itself is great. I like this series. but the female narrator made this almost impossible to listen to. she whispers the whole book. it's rough.

Frenemies

Cal and Nellie have known each other since high school but misunderstandings have kept them from being friends but not hookups. They have a lot of chemistry but keep it hidden. There's so much to this story and it's wonderful! I enjoyed Connor Crais' narration. This was the first time I've listened to Cindy Kay and I'm not really a fan of her narration. I'm looking forward to Lark's story.

bully

this was my least favorite book of the five. love the narrators. story line is ok. the constant bickering got on my nerves. people who hate each other most of the time and secretly hook up in private are not right. I guess I'm just not made that way. you either like me or you don't. !

Loved

I loved this story!! The audio is amazing..

Cal and Nellie totally stole my heart. I loved their banter and connection.
These two have such chemistry and it is off the charts.
I love all these characters!

I can't wait to see what happens next in this series.

Just ok.

I love the calamity series but this is my least favorite so far. But I’m not a big fan of the enemies to lovers genre. I really liked Cal’s voice and his nice tone made up for the whispers of Nellie’s voice.

Enemies to lovers in a small town setting

The Bully is the fourth book in the Calamity Montana series and this one is an enemies to lovers romance!

Cal has been a thorn in Nellie’s life since he bullied her in high school, and now both have moved to Calamity. After retiring from the NFL, Cal decides to finally take up his best friend Pierce’s (hero of the previous book, The Brazen) idea to move to Calamity. Nellie works for Pierce so she lives in Calamity as well. Nellie is convinced Calamity is only big enough for one of them and it isn’t Cal…

This was my least fav in the series so far. I just didn’t care for Cal or Nellie. We do get flashbacks through Nellie’s diary, that Cal is reading in current day. I just felt meh about their past and their present day interactions as well.
