Pride and Precipitation (Chick Flick Clique Sweet Romantic Comedy #1) Kindle Edition

by Heather Horrocks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,424 ratings


Pride and Precipitation ~ A sweet enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy.

Forecast: Romance with occasional bursts of laughter.

Breezy Jones is crazy about the weather — rain or shine — which makes her job as the local television station’s meteorologist perfect. She’s even hoping the new buyers of her Aspen Grove station will make some positive changes.

That’s before she meets the attractive new general manager, Noah Drake, who is determined to repackage everything — including Breezy’s down-home delivery and casual, girl-next-door appearance that seems too Pollyanna for him. He replaces her with a high-powered diva weathercaster and makes Breezy her off-screen assistant.

With a flood of angry emails from the community, plummeting ratings, and incessant demands from the diva, it doesn’t take long for Noah to see which way the wind is blowing.

Will the station survive the competitive clash between pride and precipitation?
More importantly, can their blossoming attraction survive?

Come join the Chick Flick Clique at Candy’s Café for a good serving of friendship, family, films, and flirty sweet romance. It’s the first book in a humorous, heartwarming series set in Aspen Grove. Scroll up to one-click.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary romance, influenced by Pride and Prejudice.

    Sweet, romantic and hilariously funny!
    A light and airy read that I heartily enjoyed.
    Rated: Chaste

    Breezy was the weather girl at the local news station. The station was sold and the new manager was handsome and the attraction was instant, at least until he called her "Polyanna" which Mr Google informed was a happy-go-lucky girl from children books. Being deemed a little too "the girl next door", did not sit well with Breezy. Noah Drake fell further in her estimation when she was replaced on the screen by the sassy Pamela. Reduced to handing her forecasts over to the unpalatable lady while being at her back and call made for an even less desirable situation. The alternative being leaving Aspen Grove and her wonderful friends behind, in search for another job was the only thing less desirable...

    This was a fun and heart-warming book, that left me thoroughly entertained. Heartily recommend!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant, wholesome, modern Pride and Prejudice
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Breezy (Breanne) Jones is a 28-year-old meteorologist who is the weathergirl for he news team at KWAC TV in Aspen Grove, California. She's literally grown up in the newsroom there, as the previous weathercaster was her father. The community loves her sweet, girl-next-door style of delivering the news and she loves the community back, with no desire to ever live elsewhere. She already has her dream job here.

    Noah Drake becomes the new station manager when KWAC is sold. He and his assistant general manager, Gabe Weston, have a reputation that has earned them the nickname "The Firing Squad." Breezy, the eternal optimist, is determined to remain positive... until she overhears him referring to her as "Pollyanna" in the most negative sense of the term.

    The Pride and Prejudice parallels are obvious, especially when the sexy Pamela Gladstone (Hurricane Pamela) shows up with a very Caroline Bingley-like attitude toward the "peasants" she works with, aside from Noah. Breezy's mother is quite Mrs. Bennet-like in her desire to see her daughter married. However, this book also deviates significantly from P&P, so there's no predicting exactly how things will play out.

    There are a couple of homonym-type misspellings (born/borne and another one or two others I can't specifically recall), but otherwise the writing is quite good. Ms. Horrocks does a nice job of creating a hometown feeling in Aspen Grove; the reader gets a Bedford Falls (It's A Wonderful Life) sense about the place.

    She introduces a number of characters who will obviously continue throughout this series of books. Unfortunately, many of them don't figure much into this plot, and there are too many to remember if you're reading this as a stand-alone.

    Among the stand-out supporting players here: Andrew North is a surfer-dude who's Breezy's ex-boyfriend. Candy Kane(!!) is proprietor of Candy's Cafe hosting Chick Flick Clique movie nights every Wednesday with Breezy and her friends.

    I really like the dynamics between Noah and Breezy. There's a nice spark between them, both in their conversations and physically. She's immediately attracted to him and often struggles to maintain her dislike for him personally despite her abhorrence for what he's doing to her beloved news office. Meanwhile, Noah quickly recognizes that he underestimated Breezy and that he'd REALLY like to go out with her. He hates having Pamela around poisoning the work atmosphere at the station, but his hands are tied by the firm directives of the station owner, Mr. Bentley.

    I do find it hard to believe that Noah would interview any of his employees, and surely not an on-air personality, without thoroughly reviewing their HR files. Instead, Breezy's qualifications surprise him, which is ridiculous. The author could achieve the same effect sticking to Breezy's much-younger-than-her-age appearance and her unsophisticated approach to delivering the news.

    Onerall, this book has a very pleasant, wholesome quality. Content is clean and Biblical-type morals are demonstrated, yet there are glimpses of the darker side of humanity in the real world. Despite its flaws, I really liked it.

    I jumped at this book because of the title, but it is not a P&P variation. It is a fun, sweet romance. There is a reference to Colin Firth and P&P, and Noah Drake is perceived as proud and mean but really, that's all.

    Breezy Jones loves being the meteorologist on her hometown station. She is following in her father's footsteps, as he was the station's meteorologist for thirty years. Breezy loves the weather and at twenty eight she has degrees in Meteorology and Communications and a Masters. But now the station has been sold and the always upbeat Breezy is a little down. Noah Drake, the new general manager, has demoted her to writing the forecasts and brought in Pamela Gladstone, the glitz and glamour girl from LA. Oddly enough, he does give Breezy a raise when he demotes her. Noah and Breezy fight a growing attraction to each other and Pamela does all she can to snare Noah herself. To complicate matters still further, Breezy's old flame is back in town. With all of this , can Breezy and Noah find happiness together?

    I told you the story was light and fun, and it is, despite all of these factors. Breezy is adorable, Noah can't understand why he keeps worrying about her and giving her raises. Breezy's mother and friends are all plotting to get these two together. And they are made for each other. Give this book a try. Let Breezy and Noah put a smile on your face. I loved it. And I think you will, too.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Breezy and Noah’s story
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This short read started out with high hope for this reader. So let me critique it based on my point of view.
    First, I did not write nor do I get paid for this Pride and Precipitation story.
    Second, Breezy was a great character and the Pollyanna use of the word for Noah fit her perfectly. In fact, she’s a little too good.
    Noah comes
    in to take over the tv station and makes a mess out of it. He replaces Breezy with a buxomy bimbo type weather person who has zero knowledge of weather. Noah demote Breezy to help Pamela with the weather hoping to regain her spot, but ends up being her gofer instead.
    Breezy quits the tv station for a while and Noah has to ask her back with a few changes to Breezy’s appearance.
    Noah decides he loves her at the mayor’s gala.
    Lastly, what a crappy and big let down for an ending! It’s like the author just stopped and thought - - - oh well, who cares!.
    It needed at least one more chapter to wrap up the story so that Noah and breezy could finish their happily ever after.
    I don’t know who does the proofreading for this author, but another on is needed if that person thought the ending was okay.
