Book Review of Ellie and the Elven King

Ellie and the Elven King
Ellie and the Elven King
Author: Helen A. Rosburg
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Hardcover


At the moment I am not a fan of romance. I do try and just hope that is that I havent found the right one or series. This one was not the right one.

What drew me to it was the cover and I purchased this at the very first FaerieCon. The mixture of photo and illustration is beautiful but the story of Ellie and her Elven King lacks something.
Even when it try to be funny it is just off.

Ellie inherits her sisters horse farm and her Elven husband, the King of Elves. See even there doesnt that sound strange. What is even stranger to me is that Ellie is already married. Sure hes not a nice guy but she married him for some reason right?

I like the idea of grown up picture books but I have yet to find one that is something I would want to keep. I also love the idea of fantasy with romance but I just did not love this. It was awkward and disheartening. I had no feeling for the characters or the story. The best thing is the art.
