Chasing that feeling.

Ever since I finished reading Elisabeth Aimee Brown’s debut, I have been wanting more. In fact I dm’d her and told her so! 😄
A whimsical dip into cozy fantasy, you will fall in love with the spark and delight in What Comes of Attending the Commoner’s Ball. The perfect blend of old and new, I adored the characters and craved one more nibble of cheese right along with Hester, while longing to pet a wooly hog of my own.
I highly recommend this magical, Cinderella-vibe story, and as a huge bonus, it’s the perfect share with your teen read! Sweet friendships, common-sense discernment, and simple kisses keep this book’s romance in the sweet zone, and I am thankful to be able to fully push this book on all my friends, lol.
I can’t wait for my beautiful paperback and my very own little, stuffed wooly hog to arrive! Elisabeth, it’s amazing, and I loved every minute of reading it!💗
Goodreads Summary
Hester Flanders went to the ball for the food. She didn’t expect a prince to follow her home.
If there’s one rule Hester learned during her country upbringing, it’s never accept a gift; that’s how the Folk get you. Although she’s left her farm behind, she can’t leave her superstitions, even if no one else in the capital city seems to care. Hardworking but hungry, she’s looking for loopholes, and the king’s annual Commoners Ball seems like the perfect way to get a free meal that’s not technically a gift—and it would have been, too, except a pesky prince took a shine to her.
Inglebert Lucas Chesingwick isn’t just the crown prince; he’s also practical, responsible, and very annoyed to see his younger brother causing a scene by flirting with a peasant at the ball. He can separate them for one night, but his mischievous brother is determined to see the poor girl again. And again. And for some reason, Lucas keeps running into her, too. If only there was some way he could help her.
The princes might mean well, but Hester knows better than to accept favors from anyone, even royalty—even if it’s cheese—and even if saying no breaks her heart. After all, just because the Folk have never been seen in the city doesn’t mean they’re not around.
Cinderella meets Howl’s Moving Castle in this cozy fantasy romance from debut author Elisabeth Aimee Brown. Whirl away into a whimsical story of glittering gaslamps, frisky Folk, and huggable hogs.
