Review: Paper Princess / Broken Prince / Twisted Palace by Erin Watt
This review is for all three books in The Royals series - because I binge read them this week and they're now all one big crazy mess in my head.
These Royals will ruin you…
--------
PAPER PRINCESS
Ella Harper is a survivor—a pragmatic optimist. She’s spent her whole life moving from town to town with her flighty mother, struggling to make ends meet and believing that someday she’ll climb out of the gutter. After her mother’s death, Ella is truly alone.
Until Callum Royal appears, plucking Ella out of poverty and tossing her into his posh mansion among his five sons who all hate her. Each Royal boy is more magnetic than the last, but none as captivating as Reed Royal, the boy who is determined to send her back to the slums she came from.
Reed doesn’t want her. He says she doesn’t belong with the Royals.
He might be right.
Wealth. Excess. Deception. It’s like nothing Ella has ever experienced, and if she’s going to survive her time in the Royal palace, she’ll need to learn to issue her own Royal decrees.
----------
BROKEN PRINCE
Reed Royal has it all—looks, status, money. 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.
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. Keep Ella safe. 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.
Ella doesn’t want him anymore. She says they’ll only destroy each other.
She might be right.
Secrets. Betrayal. Enemies. 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.
--------
TWISTED PALACE
Ella Harper has met every challenge that life has thrown her way. She’s tough, resilient, and willing to do whatever it takes to defend the people she loves, but the challenge of a long-lost father and a boyfriend whose life is on the line might be too much for even Ella to overcome.
Reed Royal has a quick temper and even faster fists. But his tendency to meet every obstacle with violence has finally caught up with him. If he wants to save himself and the girl he loves, he’ll need to rise above his tortured past and tarnished reputation.
No one believes Ella can survive the Royals. Everyone is sure Reed will destroy them all.
They may be right.
With everything and everyone conspiring to keep them apart, Ella and Reed must find a way to beat the law, save their families, and unravel all the secrets in their Twisted Palace.

REVIEW
'These Royals will ruin you' - YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!
Yes these books are trashy and far fetched but they are beyond addictive and I literally could not put them down! I read the trilogy every spare minute that I found for five days straight and now that it's over I don't know what to do with my life!
Enter Ella Harper. Stereotypically down on her luck, headstrong and fiercely independent heroine who finds herself plucked from a life in the gutter by her fairy godfather of sorts Callum Royal. Only she has to share his fairytale palace with his five sons, none of whom want her there and all of whom have dark secrets to bear. I hated all five of them at first, and by the end of the trilogy I was in varying states of love with them all. Reed, obviously, is my new book boyfriend, but Easton turned out to be all kinds of adorable and possibly my favourite character of them all. The twins Sawyer and Sebastian were hilarious, and Gideon was so absent and mysterious that I'd love to know more about him. In fact I'm hoping and praying that all of the brothers (but especially Easton) get their own spin off stories!
The plot gets more and more ridiculous and unbelievable as it goes along, but suspend your disbelief and just go with it. I'm thanking my lucky stars that I found Paper Princess once the whole trilogy was out - I don't know how I'd have coped if I'd had to wait for the next installment!
