FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR ELLEN MINTBook one in the Happily Ever Austen seriesWhen a cold-hearted singer and a hard-headed journalist are trapped together in a blizzard, there will be sparks—and pancakes.When Beth Cho is tasked with interviewing elusive musician Tristan Harty, it’s hate at first sight. Despite his sapphire-blue eyes and lithe frame, he’s got to be the most infuriating man on … he’s got to be the most infuriating man on the planet.
Tristan Harty is already sick of reporters and this one is proving no different. Sure, she might be adorable with her ebony hair and big brown eyes, but her incessant need to dig into his past is dragging on his last nerve.
The bickering duo vow never to meet again, but Mother Nature has other plans for them, trapping them in a Vermont cabin via a blizzard. The more Beth learns about the aristocratic Tristan, the harder it is for her to keep her professional distance, just as Tristan discovers that a loving heart beats inside the beautiful reporter.
But what happens when the snowstorm’s over, and the melted Tristan and enamored Beth are free to leave? Can their reluctant attraction bloom into a deeper love now their cold-as-ice judgment has thawed?
Pride and Pancakes is a sweet yet steamy contemporary story inspired by the immortal Pride & Prejudice. There are references to sexual abuse, death from drug overdose and death in car crash.

A singer and a journalist, that can’t stand each other stranded together in a snowstorm, what could go wrong? Or right! Giving into their attraction the real question becomes what happens when the snow melts? A lighthearted, sweet and steamy read.
This was an ok read for me. I didn’t much warm up to either Tristan or Beth.
This book was cute and very unexpected. I somewhat liked it, but just had a hard time trying to get into it. I wish it was longer so I could actually enjoy it. But overall decent read.
This one was a slow start for me. And unfortunately, it didn’t really pick up as the story progressed. It seemed like the storyline didn’t move much for Beth and Tristan besides for being trapped in the cabin for a few days.
For me, it was definitely a slower read than I’m used to, and the style of writing took some time to get used to.
