Of Love & Beer

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman of good judgment can totally trust her first impressions. So when craft brewer Ellis Bourne overhears a handsome jerk insulting her, she dismisses him as the human equivalent of a skunky beer. Ellis's business partner wants to retire, and she’s too busy looking for a new one to care what an arrogant wine snob thinks—even if he is gorgeous. That is until his friend shows interest in her business. Now she’s stuck trying to ignore Dean, who hates beer, while trying to sell his friend on investing in her small town brewery. Vintner Dean Pembrook’s not looking for love either. In fact, he’s turned avoiding entanglements into an art. He only agrees to visit Bourne Wilde Brewery to ensure his friend doesn’t make a bad business deal—it has nothing to do with a pair of fine eyes. Unfortunately, the more time he spends with Ellis, the more he’s drawn to her. After Dean’s interference leaves Ellis back at square one, she’ll have to find a way to get past her first impressions before she loses more than just a chance at love.Of Love & Beer is a contemporary, enemies to lovers, workplace romance, kiss only, retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, but it is not necessary to know anything about Pride and Prejudice to enjoy the story. There is occasional mild language.
