Just Ella Blog Tour and Book Review
Just Ella by Annette K. Larsen Book Summary: A Proper Romance Ariella was only looking for a distraction, something to break up the monotony of palace life. What she found was a young man willing to overlook her title and show her a new and vibrant way of life. But when her growing feelings for Gavin spiral out of control and clash with the expectations of her station, she will discover that the consequences of her curiosity are far more severe than she’d imagined. I watched in helpless horror as two guards hauled Gavin to his feet and dragged him from the room. My voice was frozen, unable to protest as another guard took hold of my arm, leading me upstairs. From the confines of my room, I stared into the darkness beyond my window, hoping to catch one more glimpse of Gavin. He was gone, and I wondered if he would have been better off if he had never met me. I write clean romance. Why? Because that’s what I love to read, but over the years I’ve discovered it’s quite a challenge to find good clean romance. I believe it’s a genre that many people are looking for and too few authors are writing. My first novel, Just Ella, took me many years to write because I wanted it to be more than just a cutesy love story. I wanted it to have depth, to feel genuine. Hopefully I succeeded, but you’ll have to be the judge.

Wow...really I am not quite sure how to articulate how great this book was! Just Ella swept me away into another world with princesses, princes, kings, queens, nobility and commoners. I felt like I was experiencing the entire story right along with Ella! The romance was real and emotional, a relationship built over time and with trust. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Ella and I felt every emotion right along with her. I wanted to cry when she did, laugh when she did and smile when she did! Every page was enjoyable, there was never (seriously never!) a time in the story that I lost interest or was bored. Every word had meaning and I could have easily read another hundred pages! I have to say that author Annette Larsen has a smash hit on her hands! I NEED another book! Please tell me you are writing more because I am a new hardcore fan who cannot wait for another story like Just Ella!!! If you like fairy tales, romance, historical novels, hey if you just like to read, you will fall in love with this story! Just Ella is a diamond in the sea of indie novels! Give it a try!
Author Annette K. Larsen I was born in Utah, but grew up in Flagstaff Arizona and St. Louis Missouri, the fifth of seven children. I attended college at Southern Virginia University and Brigham Young University where I studied English and Theater. I now live in Idaho with my husband and four children. I have Charlotte Bronte to thank for the courage to write novels. After being bombarded with assigned reading about women who justified abandoning either their families or their principles in the name of love, I had the great fortune of reading Jane Eyre. And that was it: finally a heroine who understood that being moral and making the right choice was hard, and sometimes it hurt, but it was still worth it. After rereading it several years later, I realized that if I wanted more books to exist with the kinds of heroines I admired, then I might as well write a few myself. My books are about women who face hard choices, who face pain and rejection and often have to sacrifice what they want for what is right. The consequences are often difficult or unpleasant, but it the end, doing what’s right will always be worth it. I believe there is no substitute for good writing or good chocolate. Fortunately, one often leads to the other.
