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 allespecially when pride, prejudice, love, and cheese grits are involved!
Industry Reviews
"Hathaway's take on Pride and Prejudice is fresh, fun, and funny -- a comfort read complete with a couple of comfort-food recipes at the end.--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "Diary of an Eccentric"
"I'm in love. Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits is an absolute pleasure to read. The characters were phenomenal and the spin on Austen's classic is another classic in the making.--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "The Canon"
"Mary Jane Hathaway has done outstanding justice to the resurrection of the sparky antics between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy through her creation of modern day characters: Shelby Roswell and Ransom Fielding in her latest novel, Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits." --Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "Feathered Quill Book Reviews"
"Several scenes were laugh out loud funny and the dialogue between the characters was mellifluous. Hathaway does a fantastic job of weaving the themes of Pride and Prejudice into her narrative, and whether you are a fan of Jane Austen or not, PRIDE, PREJUDICE AND CHEESE GRITS is a fantastic summer read."--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "The Book Binder's Daughter"
"Shelby and Ransom were the perfect dueling duo and the dialogue is hilarious. I found many well-done Pride and Prejudice allusions and no, I never got sick of them! Shelby's mother and sisters are so shallow and snarky, it would be as satisfying as a slice of pecan pie to pop them all in the mouth."--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "Bubble Bath Books"
"The story is comedic, heartwarming and inspiring as the chapters open with classic dialogue from the classic novel of Pride and Prejudice from Jane Austen. You can't help but feel you have fallen right into the middle of something fantastic that will keep you glued to the novel until you see how it all plays out. It truly rates up there with some of the best romantic comedies I watched and read and can only hope that some movie company will pick this up and bring it to the big screen."--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "Reviews From the Heart"
I went into this series with a high level of excitement and expectations - (it couldn't be helped, this book was on my wish-list for over a year!) I'm thrilled to say that Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits was an extremely absorbing and entertaining read that definitely exceeded my expectations. It has a perfect balance of southern charm, sweet romance, and clever nods to our dear Jane!--Beth Pattillo, author of Jane Austen Ruined My Life "Austenesque"
