"I liked the strong female characters that didn't back down. It is a great novel to show women that you can get positions just as easily as men and to not back down when being pushed into corners." -NetGalley Reviewer

"...offers the reader a heroine with grace, gumption, and brains, who finds her way out of a difficult position with satisfying aplomb." -IndieReader

The university's selection committee nominates Georgia Davis to become their first woman vice president - a job she's coveted for more than a quarter century. But the university's new president, Paul Van Horne, sours her plans by ignoring the committee and hiring Carl Overstreet, his old college buddy instead. In spite of her outrage and better judgment, Georgia begins having romantic feelings for the despicable scoundrel who is now her boss - at least until he fires her. But Van Horne and Overstreet soon learn that a Southern peach like Georgia does not go quietly into the compost bin. And Georgia discovers that revenge can taste as sweet as romance. Like Peaches and Pickles - a deliciously wicked story - will make you laugh, love and cheer for one Southern peach with a pit of steel.
