The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE PRINCESS POSE (Modern Royals, #2) . . . Very happy to have more of Roman and Liz. They were both a part of Clementine and Christian acceptance in one way or another and the spark that lite between the two was fresh and a bit refreshing. It was refreshing in a scene that usually its the nobody, no one, lowly, rejected, unwanted, unworthy, more of that female that snags royalty. I love the reversal of the role and would like to see more of it. I still feel like the characters chosen by the author to be her dream cast make sense. Although I know this cast would never do a Hallmark movie. There was something more in the story of Roman and Liz. I felt more connected to Roman and Liz with the background or glimpse from Clementine and Christina's romance. I still was not a fan of the Queen. I loved the King and want more of the other princes and princess. The Modern Royals have a brighter look at things and make you want more.
I once again found that Andrea Emmes did well supplying that vocal portion of the story. She added flavor. She brought Aven Ellis' story to life and made it a visual experience.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Aven Ellis. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
A modern princess. A charming commoner. Can they hurdle tradition to find true love?
Princess Elizabeth "Liz" of York isn't interested in a fairy tale life. Determined to use her elite platform to champion children's causes, she'd much rather raise awareness than find her prince. If only she could stop picturing one certain gardener with vivid hazel eyes....
When the relentless paparazzi invade her space, Liz's crush comes to her rescue and steals her heart. Tossing aside centuries of tradition for something real, she takes Roman's calloused hand and braces for the backlash. But after her progressive approach ruffles more than a few feathers, one member of the monarchy vows to keep the princess locked in her stylish but decidedly ivory tower.
Can Liz break through her birthright to find a powerful kind of love?

Aven Ellis' Top Ten Literary inspirations
- Sophie Kinsella. The moment I started reading Confessions of a Shopaholic, I felt as though I had never read anything like it before. It was so funny, so vivid, so bright. I knew instantly that these where the kind of stories I wanted to write-ones with humor and heart. And that began my path toward becoming a romantic comedy writer.
- Georgette Heyer. I absolutely love her regency romances, in particular Sylvester and The Grand Sophy, which had me laughing out loud. Absolutely brilliant writing.
- Jane Austen. The way she weaves together a story is masterful. These are re-reads for me.
- JK Rowling. The fact that she had such strength and perseverance to follow her writing dream is truly inspiring.
- Maeve Binchy. She wrote the most beautiful descriptions and stories with so many layers.
- Julia Child. Her book Mastering the Art of French Cooking is a masterpiece. When you read her book My Life In France, you see what a monumental undertaking it was to write that cookbook and in this book, you feel like you are on the journey. I absolutely love both of them.
- Julia Quinn. Her Bridgerton series is a master class in laying out a series. How the plots are so thought out, so interwoven to lead to the next book, is brilliant.
- Margaret Mitchell. Gone with the Wind, need I say more? I love the way her plotting kept me turning the page.
- Helen Fielding. Bridget Jones’s Diary is humor at it’s best. She is another comedic inspiration for me.
- Emma MCLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, The Nanny Diaries. I still remember parts of this book, which made me laugh and made me sad. Most of all, I remember feeling it was totally unique and I loved that about their writing style.
