Pride and Pancakes

Pride and Pancakes

Happily Ever Austen

Written by: Ellen Mint
Pride and Pancakes is a short and sassy story about a returning washed-up rock star and a reporter who are at each other's throats until they are snowed in together and the sexual tension is too much to bare. Beth Cho is a reporter who goes for the throat as she is trying to prove to herself and the world that she is someone worth listening to. Tristan Harty is a has-been musician who wants to come out of retirement. As these two fight before succumbing to their lust for each other the tension is high. They have some witty sparring.

This story is a fast-tracked romance where the two characters give into their sexual tension in explicit escapades while snowed in at the cabin where they meet. While there are some light plot holes such as why they met at the cabin in the first place, the romantic story is brief but enjoyable. The explicit nature of the sex was unnecessary however the way the two characters reconciled after a misunderstanding led to an all-endearing happily ever after.
