I’M REALLY SCREAMING LMFAOOOO!! This is really a train-wreck that I can’t look away from. The absolute DRAMA. It’s like they took all the worst parts of a CW show and put them all into one series and I legitimately can’t stop reading it. What a hot mess.

Ella walks in on Reed and instead of denying it he just stands there in shock. Doing what she does best Ella takes off running but because they are Royals she doesn't get far. Reed screwed up dragged into a dark secret that he's kept from Ella. Now the girl he loves doesn't want anything to do with him that she ran but his father brought her back. Now they may be under the same roof but it's clear she wants nothing to do with him. He's not willing to give up, he's determined to be the man she needs and win her over.
Ella's knows that Reed isn't good for her, after learning that he's been keeping a secret about his past but it doesn't change the fact that she's in love with him. Can Ella deny her heart, stay away from Reed and finish off her schooling so she can get away from the Royal family once and for all. As if she doesn't have enough issues she's still the target of several students at school and her guardian is getting married to his girlfriend.
I love Ella and Reed they have issues but it's not been an easy childhood for either of them but together they just work. They aren't perfect they were broken before they met each other and now even while having issues they are amazing to each other. I love the chemistry between these two they are sweet yet steamy at the same time. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite couples and I can't wait to see them get a happy ever after.
I dove right into Broken Prince right after finishing Paper Princess because I had to know what was going to happen next as it ended with a cliffhanger. Broken Prince was hard to put down like the first book I ended up finishing it in just an afternoon because it's just so good. I love Ella and Reed they are quickly becoming one of my favorite couples and I can't wait to see them get a happy ever after. The author has done an amazing job creating a captivating whirlwind story that keeps me on the edge of my seat. I love the authors writing style she's a wonderful storyteller with characters that are easy to connect with and a beautiful story. I can't wait to see how it's all going to play out.

As pretty as the cover and name are, I didn't really like this one as much as the first one.
Not gonna lie, though. The first few chapters were INTENSE! It was so cool to be inside Reed's head and the anguish and sense of urgency was damn real. I kinda felt bad for him.
Another awesome thing was how Ella flat out refused to forgive him when Callum forced her to go back. Yes! You make that boy grovel at your feet, girl! She's an awesome heroine. Loved how their relationship was SLOWLY built back up. It wouldn't have made sense for her to just forgive him after breaking her heart like that. Well done, authors.
Now, for the part I didn't like. Once Ella was back, the book basically consisted in will they won't they (get back together), which, of course, we all knew they would, so with only the blackmail baby thing as a secondary plot, it got kinda boring. Also, I hated how much of a bully Reed was in this book. I found it really off putting how he "kept everyone in line" by basically beating them up. Even if you're bullying bullies it still doesn't make it ok. He needs to stop punching people just because he didn't like something they said or did. Threaten their social standing. All the preppy , rich, a-holes probably care more about that than their physical well being. I can't stress enough how disturbed I was by Reed's displays of violence in this book.
Now we finally know what's up with Gideon! And let me just say, EW. Still curious about the twins, though.
But that ending! OMFG!
Spoiler
Steve's alive!! I had a very strong suspicion that was the case, but still! Cool twist. And Brooke's dead *shrug* I don't think anyone will miss her. Also, no one believes Reed killed her. I mean, c'mon!seele22's review
