Reed is on the outs with the family as Ella has disappeared and everyone rightly blames him. But in the way of all fairy tales, a wicked witch appears and places a spell on our prince and our princess finds herself alone and heartbroken.īroken Prince opens right where Paper Princess left off. Ella holds her own and then some to gain the approval and eventual protection of the Royals, especially Reed Royal. We watch as Ella is forced to not only deal with the with the antagonism of the Royal brothers but also the students of her elite new high school, her guardian’s girlfriend, and her missing father’s creepy wife. Ella was essentially blackmailed by Callum into coming to live with his family and nobody was happy about it. When her mother passes away, Callum comes to get Ella, claiming to be her guardian. Her absentee father was best friends with Callum Royal. Paper Princess introduced us to Ella Harper and her reluctant all expense paid pass into the Royal family’s inner sanctum.

As this is an involved series and not meant to read out of order, if you haven’t read book one yet, I would stop reading this review now. Readers will remember book one, Paper Princess, left us with a huge cliffhanger. Watt continues to wallow unabashedly in the trials and tribulations of the rich and jaded with their latest installment. Who doesn’t love the premise of a Cinderella-like story where Cinderella is an orphan and a stripper, her prince is really an emo self-hating arse, there are actually two wicked witches, four selfish brothers, and instead being forced to clean and cook for her new family, she has to do something much worse…she has to attend a private prep school filled with rich, snobby kids. Erin Watt, the writing duo of Jen Frederick and Elle Kennedy, have achieved that balance with their Royal series. And that in itself is a tricky line for authors to balance upon. I am a sucker for melodramatic, angsty, campy, steamy, soap opera driven contemporaries. Who wants a go with the trashy stripper? I know tricks even porn stars don’t.” It’s like nothing Reed has ever dealt with before, and if he’s going to win back his princess, he’ll need to prove himself Royally worthy.įavorite Quote: “I’m available. She says they’ll only destroy each other. But when one foolish mistake drives her out of Reed’s arms and brings chaos to the Royal household, Reed’s entire world begins to fall apart around him.Įlla doesn’t want him anymore. What started off as burning resentment and the need to make his father’s new ward suffer turned into something else entirely-keep Ella close. The girls at his elite prep school line up to date him, the guys want to be him, but Reed never gave a damn about anyone but his family until Ella Harper walked into his life. Reed Royal has it all-looks, status, money. From wharf fights and school brawls to crumbling lives inside glittery mansions, one guy tries to save himself.
