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 neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.
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.
Prejudice Meets Pride Meet Your Match eBook Rachael Anderson
I stuck with this book for more than half of it before giving it up. The female character was so flawed as to defy all logic. What was supposed to be the "Pride" component of this book was so profoundly malignant that it was completely unbelievable. The hero of the story was sweet and well intentioned but his efforts were thwarted repeatedly by the socially and emotionally impaired main character. The kids in this story also fell far short of likeable. It was one of those reads that had me groaning "Oh, for heaven's sake!" every other paragraph!Product details

Prejudice Meets Pride Meet Your Match eBook Rachael Anderson Reviews
Five stars for the Hero Kevin, but only two stars for the heroine Emma and the two little girls, who mostly talked like hateful brats! Plus, what kind of name is Kajsa, how do you pronounce that?
This book was really well written and I found it really funny most of the time. The problem was Emma was an idiot who did not deserve such a great guy as Kevin, and he came off as a TSTL guy for accepting her treatment of him.
I think Nicole deserved him more!
Emma's hang up about accepting help really got ridiculous and tedious to read.
I have read many romances with kids that I fell in love with, but this is not one of those. I did not find these girls adorable in the least. They fought and argued too much and talked hatefully to each other.
I can't rate it over 3 stars, though I would give it another 1/2 star if that were possible. I want to try this author again, as I enjoyed the humor and cleanliness of the book.
Reading the story, you can feel Emma's struggle. But you can also feel the love for her nieces. Thought it would be a soppy love story, but it was not. Though I knew how it would end, I still stayed up way too late to finish the book.
I loved the storyline for this book. Emma is just amazing! A little prideful at times but absolutely amazing. Her life story is slowly revealed and once it is, wow! Definitely explains why the pride and why it is hard for her to accept help. It didn't stop me though from wanting to tell her to wake up and just accept it already for heaven's sake! I love that she would drop everything because of her love for her brother and his family. She shows up in a new town in Colorado in her clunker car, moving into a nice neighborhood but of course I think you can guess it, the most run down house and yard and has two little girls in tow. To any outsider not knowing anything about her she would look like a young single mother who can't catch a break in life.
That is pretty much exactly what her new neighbor Kevin thinks. He definitely harbors some prejudice against everyone in general until he gets hit upside the head over and over again realizing that not everything is as it seems and not everything is all horrible. There is a lot of good that he glances over to see the bad. One of his shortcomings and challenges from his childhood. Which of course will be explained all in good time as you read the book. How lucky can he be to have a new neighbor who has the most horrific car and is a single mother with two children who's father is probably a deadbeat. To top that all off they'll probably leave junk and toys and who knows what else all over the yard and front of the run down little house. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Luckily to balance Emma and Kevin out, across the street we have Becky and her awesome hubby Justin and their super awesome teenage daughter Sam. Becky sees past all the outward appearances and sees Emma, a loving and amazing woman who isn't afraid to give everything she has and work very hard to take care of those she loves. Phew, so glad Becky is there otherwise Kevin might be in a bigger mess than he already is. ;-)
First meetings can most often go awry. It's just the way it is. It's not like we are always able to put our best selves forward and be on guard to do that every second and every interaction. Just not possible, so sometimes we flub up big time and give others lots to (hopefully) laugh about or (not hopefully) scrutinize. Well unfortunately for Emma, her first meeting with Kevin is the latter...a big flub up. Oh but it was humorous and witty and one of those said moments that I wanted to shake her and say wake up and don't let your pride get in the way. It's ok! I'm still smiling and chuckling about that scene and the ensuing scenes as well because honestly it was funny. How many times have I had similar crazy introductions to people that I wish I could rewind and redo. Oh way too many to count and more time than I have to expound upon here. Luckily I have a good sense of humor and can laugh it off and just chalk it up to having a new friend who knows I have a goofy side too! Ha!
Honestly I just loved this book lots. I loved Emma, I loved Kevin. They were so good and it took some time for them to see that goodness in each other, or to accept that goodness. Emma ends up with a job she feels she earned but soon feels was a hand out. So it definitely doesn't end well when she discovers the said handout. Poor Kevin, he got a little bit of a tongue lashing there. Oh and the tongue lashing he got over his mom, and the pie. Lol. Oh Emma, she isn't afraid to say it like it is or show her trued emotions. There's nothing fake or hidden about her, she is just herself for all to see.
The description of art(Emma's an artist and art teacher) is just so cool. It really made me want to brush off my art supplies and take some more classes so that I could paint some cool murals! You'll understand when you read it. Oh and can I order one fairy room for my house please? ;-)
I loved it! I've really enjoyed the books I've read of Rachel's. I actually just finished Rough around the edges(book 2 in this series) and wrote my review for that first since it was fresh in my mind. I really enjoyed it and recommend it as a follow up for several of the characters in book one. It is a completely different storyline but still great characters. If I was putting them in order of which I like better this one would win hands down. I can't wait to read the third book. I know I say this in several reviews, if you've read others of mine but I loved Rachel's book The Reluctant Bachelorette. Read it if you like a fun hometown bachelorette story.
This is a great clean read. There's some kissing but no sex or violence. I would let YA and older read it.
I downloaded this free from (sorry it's not free right now).
Happy Reading!!!
What a fun story! I loved Emma--not only was she interesting and funny, I loved her relationship with her brother and his kids. When her brother needed her, she didn't hesitate. I loved Kevin, too, and the contrast between him and Emma. There were so many favorite scenes, I can't pick just one--when Emma threw the mud pie in Keviin's face, when they went to the art gallery, etc. And I so felt for Emma when she was in the grocery store and couldn't find her credit card, then the debit card was declined. I can't wait to read the other books in the series!
I enjoyed this novel very much. I picked it up thinking it was a Pride and Prejudice retelling. While a lot was different, there was just enough Prejudice and pride in the characters to keep me happy. I read this in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. I also love that it's a clean read. I feel like I can recommend it to anyone without worries.
If you enjoy reading about young, pretty, professional women who lack the ability to accept kindness or to socialize, this book is for you. The heroine repeatedly, irritatingly, refuses help from the young handsome doctor next door. After four chapters I just had to put the book away. The insecure, unyielding, illogical demeanor of the female main character was so overwhelmingly ridiculous that I thought the book certainly must have been written by a man who hates women.
The book bears no similarity to Jane Austen's brilliant works, beyond the name.
I stuck with this book for more than half of it before giving it up. The female character was so flawed as to defy all logic. What was supposed to be the "Pride" component of this book was so profoundly malignant that it was completely unbelievable. The hero of the story was sweet and well intentioned but his efforts were thwarted repeatedly by the socially and emotionally impaired main character. The kids in this story also fell far short of likeable. It was one of those reads that had me groaning "Oh, for heaven's sake!" every other paragraph!
