Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson
After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off with the offer of a dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin Grantham, her handsome new neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.
Fun, compelling, and romantic, Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn't afraid to show him that he doesn't. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.
So, I was sort of thrown for a loop with this one. I thought
it was a pride and prejudice retelling, but after having read it I don’t think
it really was supposed to be. Sure the characters did do the whole pride vs prejudice
character conflict thing, but it didn’t really have any Pride and Prejudice by
Jane Austen vibes. The author is just doing her own thing and not channeling Elizabeth
and Darcy. So, I was a bit confused there for a bit, but the read ended up being
enjoyable. Has all the beats of a sweet romance, and had a fulfilling ending.
