    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.

    Personal Review:
    I loved this book. There is something really special about a book that can draw you in, make you fall in love with the characters, get mad at them when they screw up, and cry with them when they realize it. Prejudice Meets Pride does all that and more. I absolutely loved Emma’s can do optimistic attitude, but I loved Kevin even more as he stepped in to help even when he had no idea why he was doing it. The ending though – when Kevin’s mom shows up – that was just so perfect in sharing how imperfect we all are, and that changing is ok! I can’t wait for the other books in the Meet Your Match series!

    Author Rachael Anderson

    A USA Today bestselling author, Rachael Anderson is the mother of four and is pretty good at breaking up fights, or at least sending guilty parties to their rooms. She can’t sing, doesn’t dance, and despises tragedies. But she recently figured out how yeast works and can now make homemade bread, which she is really good at eating.
