Broken Prince

"My instincts had screamed at me that she was trouble. My instincts were wrong. She wasn't trouble. I was. Still Am.Reed, the destroyer."So, this book starts right from where the last one left off. Ella has run away and Reed is trying to do damage control to keep everything together."Ella Harper doesn't forget. Ever."That cliffhanger in the last book was seriously shocking but obviously everyone knew that it would not be like what it was portrayed to be.The book was all about how Reed tries to gain Ella's trust and Ella doubting him throughout the way.“He told me to stay away. He told me I didn’t belong. If only I’d listened to him.” The push and pull between them was frustrating. But, the way Reed didn't give up and fought for her was amazing. All the things he did for Ella and the way he protected her at school was so nice. I loved to get into Reed's head and see things from his point of view.But, I feel the plot was dragged a lot. Brooke and her intentions were not very clear. I just wanted to know what was the reason behind her actions.The book had a whole lot of drama and some character development. Also, I loved Easton and his relationship with Ella. He was like that annoying but cute brother who was lost without her. It amazed me, how he went from hating her to loving her so much like his own sister.“Whatever girl takes on Easton is going to have to hold a whip in one hand and a pistol in the other.”And the twins have their own thing going on with Lauren. I felt like they weren't invested much in their family. They were always in their own world.Also, I know there is a book about Gideon & Savannah (with the whole situation with Dina) and I'm really curious about the oldest Royal brother. Although I don't think I'm going to like them as much as I like Ella & Reed.So, in conclusion this book was dragged a bit and the mistrust between Ella & Reed was frustrating but I loved the way they got back together and all the 4 stars in this review are solely for Reed.I know that the Royal boys have issues and all of them are messed up but they are actually really nice.This book again ended in a huge cliffhanger and that has made me excited to read the next part!“She’s the best thing to happen to the Royals I a long time.”

Reed Royal

I have been desperate for this book ever since the dramatic cliffhanger ending of Paper Princess, but it was a big mistake to stay up late to finish it though, it left me restless all night with hardly any sleep - there were far too many questions going round my head!This book starts off right where Paper Princess ended, and we get to read those events from Reed's perspective. We get to see exactly why Brooke was in his bedroom, why Reed was stunned into silence when Ella found them together, and why he didn't come after her."My instincts had screamed at me that she was trouble. My instincts were wrong. She wasn’t trouble. I was. Still am. Reed, the destroyer. It’d be a cool nickname if it wasn’t my life and hers that I’m taking down."What happens next? Well the Royals, who were so vehemently against Ella when she first arrived, actually start to fall apart after her departure. She has had such an impact on the family in her short time in the Royal household , and they are desperate to find her and bring her back. I really felt for Easton, he had formed such an attachment to Ella, and he was gutted when she went.“You should be strung up by your nuts and hung out to dry.” He spits at my feet. “If you don’t find Ella and bring her back, I’ll be first in line to see it done.”There's not a lot I can say without giving away spoilers, and this book is best experienced going in blind. There is so much going on in this story, there are revelations, shocks, and jaw dropping, heart stopping moments! One thing is for certain, once you start reading, you won't want to stop!I love how the story is woven so skillfully together, there are answers to questions raised in Paper Princess, and then there are more revelations too. Then, just when you think you have something figured out - BAM! All of a sudden the rug is pulled out from under you - AGAIN! An explosive beginning, a story packed with drama, highs and lows, and another mind blowing ending. O.M.G. that ending. SWEET JESUS indeed!I'm going on holiday in October, but I think I'm more excited for Twisted Palace than my 2 weeks in Kos! I can only hope my hotel has a damn good WiFi connection so that I can download Twisted Palace on release day, as it doesn't come out until after I leave for Greece!

Daring to care has broken both Reed and Ella, but that is only the start of their troubles. Their high-society school recognises the slip of the Royal family's control, and everything devolves into chaos. Even at home, old enemies return to plague the Royals.Just give me a minute...Bloody hell, Watt knows how to write a cliff-hanger. I thought the end of Book 1 was pretty effed up, but this one was just...give me a minute...Yes, I enjoyed this, very much so.It starts with Reed, dealing with the aftermath of his "betrayal" of Ella. Of trying to bring her back, when she runs away. And dealing with the blackmailing Brooke, who doesn't care which Royal she gets her gold-digging claws in.Then it brings in Ella, when it's clear she's going to stop running. I was a little disappointed that her time away from the Royals was glossed over - after all, this is the girl who worked at strip clubs with her dead mother's ID to survive. But I as happy to see her back.I was even happier that she didn't immediately jump onto Reed and forgive his lying arse.I felt that the story was a little bit sweeter than the first book, because Ella knows about the stuff going on in the Royals lives; Reed is working hard to be a good guy for her (but not above beating somebody); and Valerie provides something invaluable - Ella's first real friend, and someone who missed her when she ran.That being said, it still hits hard.Aster Park is sensing weakness from the usually unbreakable Royal brothers, and the high-society teens are pushing the boundaries. Everything breaks down into absolute chaos, and needs a very strong hand to slap it back into place.I might have mentioned this in my review of the first book, but Ella is awesome.There's other drama around Brooke regaining entry into the Royal family, but I won't mention any of that, because it might spoil.And then there was that ending...Next book, please.

Devoured this book its fab!!!Ok this is book 2 in this crazy series set around the rich Royal family and continues on exactly where book 1 Paper Princess ends... which made it so easy just to fall straight into to find out some answers from the cliffhanger book 1 left us with!Focusing mainly on Reed Royal and Ella Harper again ...will we find out what happens when Ella returns to the palace and will she be able to forgive Reed?Told in POV of both main characters but also giving us great insight into the other brothers Easton Sawyer Sebastian and Gideon... with dad Callum thrown in too.Although this book helps settle our hearts and heads we are left yet again with a jaw dropping ending and desp wanting to jump into book 3 instantly.Hottiness... craziness.. great family.. fun.. laughter and 5 sexy guys all rolled into one great book.Fantastic writing that just makes you not want to put this down.

"These Royals will ruin you"Well I'm beyond ruined, what have I just read and been witness to. My heart is beating so rapidly and I'm just utterly shocked and beyond dying. I've literally thousands of different thoughts running through my mind.This was just beyond comprehension of anything I've read in ages, the magnificent writing from the duo has had me captivated the last two days and these Royals have got me good and proper.This book was more focused on our Broken Prince Reed, and I can't help fall more in love with him in this book and Ella is just everything this Royal needs. I wasn't sure how I'd be able to forgive him, but he more than redeemed himself.Honestly this book has me sweating with anticipation for Twisted Palace and I'm already twisted in the Royally screwed up palace.

WOW!!! After the Cliffy of book 1 I was dying to read this one.I was gripped from start to finish. There's so much going on my head was completely spinning.These guys are all in, in your face they are all forces of nature. There is nothing modest about any of these Royals.My heart was in my mouth especially at the end. These books have the motherfuxxers of all cliffhangers. Like Jaw on the floor gonna Pee yourself cliffys. I love them. I'm kinda disappointed I don't have to wait before reading part 3.My favourites are still Easton and Callum. I'm dying to read more about them. Yes I love Reed and Ella too.Bring on the rest of the series, I'm hooked on these Royals now.
