Customer Reviews

Nevada Bluff

After a long wait, my copy finally arrived! It was well worth the wait. I devoured the story in just one night. I sat with my bag of chips and laughed and sighed. The only thing that could have made it more perfect was if Jack was there with me. Actually, he was, wasn't he? The tension between he and Margo was great. Their characters were well defined and real. And the supporting characters almost stole their thunder! Good luck Grant on your next book. I'll be watching for it.

Nevada Bluff is a Fun Read!

Unlike many "romantic" stories, these characters are believable - real people with both faults and virtues - you care what happens to them. Even though the settings and people are so well described that you can easily picture each scene, it's the snappy dialogue that carries the story. You might not want to take this book along to the beach. You'll lose track of time and get sunburned!

Author Loree Lough says "Great stuff, & that's no BLUFF!"

Grant Devereaux has done it again. Nevada Bluff is 100% "old Hollywood", right down to the big sunglasses. It's magnificent Nevada vistas and well-defined characters, tidily tucked around a romance that's just wicked enough to make readers ask "What's next from Grant Devereaux!"

Incredible!

I was fortunate enough to borrow an advance copy of this book from a reviewer who lives near me. I'm still going to buy this book. I want it for my personal collection so I can read it again! Nevada Bluff is absolutely amazing. I could not put it down! The characters are flesh and blood. They will stick with you long after you've finished the book. I saw people that I swear I know in real life. In fact, I've caught myself a time or two kind of looking at the people I know and wondering which of them know Grant Devereaux! Being a late-end Baby Boomer, I identify with the 1950s setting Mr. Devereaux uses in this story. He has really done his research! He has depicted Hollywood, Reno, and the 50s beautifully and accurately. This book is light and fun, and at the same time, it makes you think about people you know, situations in which we all find ourselves, and how when you least expect it, something or someone will enter your life and change it forever. Read Nevada Bluff. Hope springs eternal, and this just proves it.

Wonderful Reading

This is an extremely well written book by an author who has done his homework and introduces the reader to very interesting characters. It is almost as thou the author has actually lived these lives himself. Even the smallest details are included to give the reader more enjoyable reading. He has introduced us to "real" people who has their own problems and the inter-mingling of all the characters enhance his great book. We all have known people like who he writes about. Hopefully the author will be writing a lot more in the future. This book would make a wonderful movie! It was really hard to set down as it keeps the reader's interest on every page. Ever read a book and skipped thru several pages? Well, you can't do that with this one. Every page is exciting. Cannot recommend enough.
