PRIDE AND PRECIPITATION (Chick Flick Clique #1)
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?
This is a novella of about 170 pages. The paperback version will be available soon.

5-STAR REVIEW Jennifer English Rose Reviews Clean Romances – Oct 10, 2012
This was a cute story with some ties to that Austen classic which the title reminds us of. A fun, light trip through small-town news, this book pulled you into the story. With several fun side characters, the story left itself open for many other interlocked stories. With a fun plot and sweet characters, it's a refreshing bit of fun and sweet romance. This one made me smile and definitely made me laugh at several points. With a quick wit and some good conflict, the characters had me falling in love along with them. Definitely a good book to take on vacation or snuggle up on a cold winter night.

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.

Pride and Precipitation Chick Flick Clique Romantic Comedy #1 edition by Heather Horrocks Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Meteorologist, Breezy Jones has always loved the weather, the stormier, the better. She thought all was blue skies until a storm front named Noah Drake blew into town. Now with a “hurricane name Pamela Gladstone” threatening to destroy her hopes and dreams, Breezy must batten down the hatches or walk away before her heart gets broken, again. General Manager, Noah Drake took one look at “Miss Pollyanna, rainbow-brite” and knew he had to make some changes—starting with her. Hiring and firing, well that’s just water off a “drake’s back.” “He valued loyalty, efficiency, and the ability to stay centered…” The forecast calls for light and bright with silliness, humor, and a dash of good, old, girl time with her “Chick Flick Clique.” Lots of tongue in cheek humor, chicken soup, and forever friends, Breezy fights against stolen dreams and a change of heart. This fun story is light and entertaining with more movie references than a “Shrek” movie.
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.
