[Review] Broken Prince by Erin Watt

These Royals will ruin you...

From wharf fights and school brawls to crumbling lives inside glittery mansions, one guy tries to save himself.

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.  

Warning: This book ends in a cliffhanger.

Review

Initial Reaction

Tanya: Broken Prince was one of my most anticipated books this year. After reading Paper Princess I was totally in love with the characters, the story, and the authors. Broken Prince was full of intensity, drama, love, and secrets. I loved every moment of the story and I couldn’t put it down. The Royals sucked me in. I was living and breathing the Royals. The beginning had me feeling all kinds of excited because it answered a lot of my questions that I had from Paper Princess, book one. One revelation let me speechless, shocked, mad, and disappointed.

Lexy: I had been waiting for this book since I finished Paper Princess in April, I won't lie when I say the wait made me antsy for answers.... I read Paper Princess twice to hold me over and "attempt" to figure out where Broken Prince was going to go. Broken Prince did not disappoint. It sucked me in from page one and answered questions I had from Paper Princess. The cliffy at the end though, let me utterly speechless. I re-read the last 3 chapters multiple times to make sure that's what I had just read!

Characters

Tanya: I absolutely love all the Royals. Of course I love Reed, but I think Easton is pretty high up there. I love his humor and his bad boy attitude. But I think Reed won me over in this book. The way that he felt and spoke about Ella just warmed up my heart. Reed is a character that takes charge but the way he would be around Ella?! Swoon. And Ella, she totally won me over since Paper Princess. I love her simplicity and her strength. The twins I find quite fascinating. I have no clue what is going on but I am definitely intrigued. As for Gideon, I have no thoughts on him yet but I really would like to know a lot more. And as for the final Royal, Callum, I think he is totally amazing and in control but he needs to have better choice in women. LOL

Lexy: I love the Royals, everything about them drew me in. Reed, my favorite Royal man, stole my heart in this book. Paper Princess left me questioning him and if I wanted to continue loving him, but he redeemed himself in Broken Prince and his pining after Ella? Swoon. He knew he messed up with Ella and that she needed to trust him again. He knew he wanted her, so he went after it. Ella, the poor girl. I feel for her, her story breaks my heart and the struggles she's had since we first met her kills me! I just want her to get her happy ending! The twins, I laugh at their relationship with Lauren because it's so out there and adds entertainment to the story. Easton, that boy makes the story and I love every piece of him. Now as for the oldest Royal brother, Gideon? I don't really have a feel for him yet, I can tell you I'm intrigued to see what happens though in Twisted Palace with him.

Story

Tanya: I loved the whole story. It wasn’t predictable and I love that in a story. I love when books can have me guessing the whole time. It makes it a lot more interesting and captivation. The plot, climax, and the huge twist were perfectly executed. Erin Watt, although two different authors, make this story come together seamlessly and they know how to get all the feels out of readers. I am so impressed by them. I can’t wait for more.

Lexy: I usually can feel if a cliffy is approaching, with Broken Prince I had NO idea what was coming or how the story would go. Erin Watt sucked me in from page one and had the perfect plot twists that made the story the reason why I love it. Erin Watt, consisting of two of my all time favorite authors, nails it with this story yet again. They make you feel and want to know more. The ending leaves you hanging and dying for more.

Final Thoughts

Tanya: Broken Prince is a story that every reader should know about. Everyone should read this book and be royally ruined. It is really impressive just how much I have come to wanting to stalk these authors and demand more of their words. They just found their mojo and the Royals are it. Erin Watt is ruining all the readers out there with the Royals. Now it is your turn to be ruined!

Lexy: I recommend this series to anyone and everyone I meet. It's not like any other series I've read before. I love that I've been royally ruined. The Royals stole my heart and I want others to know just how amazing these two authors are with the story they've created. 

Paper Princess (Book One)

From strip clubs and truck stops to southern coast mansions and prep schools, one girl tries to stay true to herself.

These Royals will ruin you…

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.
