Pride and Politics by Brittany Larsen, LDS Blog Tour & Giveaway!
Book Summary:
As the daughter of a well-known senator, Summer Knight is all too
familiar with the nasty side of politics. She’s always stayed out of the
drama, until an incident involving her fellow Mormons drives her out of
her hometown—and out of the Church. What she needs is a change of
scene, and sunny California seems like just the place. Enter Benson
Hardy. He’s just her type—until she finds out who he is. Not only is
Benson a nephew to her father’s political rival, he’s also a devout
member of the Church. The last thing Summer wants is to be mixed up in
politics—or religion. But Benson challenges her like no one else, asking
the tough questions about her inactivity. Though their incompatibility
is clear, their connection is undeniable, and soon Summer finds the
embers of her faith reigniting. Just as it seems that the pair might be
on the road to romance, a series of embarrassing misunderstandings—and
the appearance of a handsome charmer determined to sweep Summer off her
feet—knock the couple completely off course. As Summer finds herself at a
crossroads, she must decide if she’s willing to set her pride aside for
a shot at true love.
My Review:
This book took a little while for me to get into it, but once I did I couldn't seem to put it down! I enjoyed the LDS spin on Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Larsen did a good job of incorporating the main elements of the famous story and then adding in her own fun, modern and completely Mormon elements to it! Pride and Politics was a fun read that made me laugh out loud, smile or cringe depending on the scenario. Especially
when Benson or Summer stuck their foot in their mouth when speaking! I loved each and every character and their personalities really made the book come to life for me!
Happy Reading!
