Pride, Prejudice, and Cheese Grits by Mary Jane Hathaway - Review and Giveaway!

Book Blurb:

This hilarious Southern retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice tells the story of two hard-headed Civil war historians who find that first impressions can be deceiving.

Shelby Roswell, a Civil War historian and professor, is on the fast track to tenure—that is, until her new book is roasted by the famous historian Ransom Fielding in a national review. With her career stalled by a man she’s never met, Shelby struggles to maintain her composure when she discovers that Fielding has taken a visiting professorship at her small Southern college. 

Ransom Fielding is still struggling with his role in his wife’s accidental death six years ago and is hoping that a year at Shelby’s small college near his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, will be a respite from the pressures of Ivy League academia. He never bargained for falling in love with the one woman whose career—and pride—he injured, and who would do anything to make him leave. 

When these two hot-headed southerners find themselves fighting over the centuries-old history of local battles and antebellum mansions, their small college is about to become a battlefield of Civil War proportions. 

With familiar and relatable characters and wit to spare, Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits shows you that love can conquer all…especially when pride, prejudice, love, and cheese grits are involved!

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this spin-off of Pride and Prejudice that takes place in the Deep South. As a southerner myself, I felt quite at home. This was a sweet read that kept my attention and that gave me a few giggles. The characters were good and their problems were realistically portrayed. I'm looking forward to the next in this fun series. 


My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars!

The Civil War can still get people all excited. I like the idea that it's related to Pride and Prejudice. Thanks for entering me.
