Review: I could not put this book down. Elle Kennedy and Jen Fredrick have delivered a charismatic world that captivates the reader. - *** 6 Star *** When the offer to review Paper Princess came across my desk I was intrigued. What intrigued me was the secrecy behind this book. There was a brief description, not a full synopsis. The author’s name was withheld. The only thing revealed was that it was two New York Times and USA Today best selling authors collaborating to write this book. I was intrigued. When I found out the collaborating authors were Elle Kennedy and Jen Fredrick, I was ecstatic! Although Paper Princess may be listed as Mature YA, it will easily appeal to readers of all ages and romance genres. I was drawn into the Royals world and held captive. I could not put this book done and read it in one sitting. After I finished the book I was dying for the next book in the Royals series. Elle Harper was not the typical high school junior. She’s had to learn to survive after her mother fell ill. She became responsible for the household bills and medical bills. After her mother passed away, she fled Seattle because she didn’t want to go in the foster care system. She’s smart, responsible, and capable of taking care of herself. She carefully planned her life. She chose an area in Tennessee with good schools and employment opportunities. It doesn’t matter that she has to work as a stripper by night, waitressing and retail by day. She has one goal in mind, to finish high school and go onto college. Her education is more important than her social life and teenage dreams. When a complete stranger shows up at her new school claiming to be her legal guardian, she is once again planning to run. Callum Royal has Elle’s number and foils her escape. He intends to honor her father and take care of Elle as his own. Elle is skeptical because she never knew her father. The only way Callum can get her to agree is with the promise of money and educational opportunities. Elle moves from a life of poverty into the world of posh indulgence. A world much more cruel than her previous world. Callum Royal has five spoiled, egotistical teenage sons that are determined to keep the trash, Elle, out of their world. Their cruel treatment and vicious actions would send any person running for the hills. The only person welcoming Elle into her new life is Callum Royal, a man that knows nothing about being a parent. His relationship with his sons is nonexistent. The Royal home is a house full of hate and animosity . Each Royal sibling has ulterior motives and their own execution of cruelty. Elle Harper thought she was a survivor but she’s going to quickly learn she has been thrust into a much more vindictive world. She may be street smart but she is not prepared for the opulent world of the entitled. She’s the lamb in the Royals world. These lions are going to eat her up, spit her out, and stomp on her remains. Reed Royal has decreed that Elle Harper does not belong in his world. The Royal king has declared Elle a Royal princess. The Royal princes have gathered their kingdom to remove the peasant and overthrow the king. Elle Harper is beginning to agree with Reed Royal. She doesn’t want to be a princess. She doesn’t want the kingdom. She is not a Royal. There isn’t enough money or wealth that could make her want to be one of them. The longer she remains in the Royal mansion is more destructive than the day before. At the same time she begins to see a very broken family and five lost little boys. She sees a father just as lost as his sons. Each boy has a dynamic personality hiding beneath surface. Is that enough to make her stay? Just when she thinks she has it figured out the Royals once again show their true colors. This book ends on a major cliffhanger that has the reader begging for more! The dynamics between all of the characters is riveting. Their compelling story is addictive. As I said before, I could not put this book down. Elle Kennedy and Jen Fredrick have delivered a charismatic world that captivates the reader. I can’t wait for the next book, Broken Prince, to release in July 2016.
Review: The Royal's have no idea what war they just brought on themselves. - If you know me then you know that I don't read YA, and I really have no desire to. So for me to read this book is really weird. Well, I read the blurb that came with the sign ups for arc's (which was different then) and it didn't sound like a YA book, but it sounded good so I requested it. Luckily I went into this blind and didn't realize until I started that the characters were so young. I'm actually happy that I gave this book a chance because I ended up enjoying it a lot. Ella Harper has had a bad life. No dad, a mom who liked to date creepy deadbeats, and then she ends up on her own when her mother dies. Running from social services she supports herself by stripping and working two other jobs. She doesn't need anyone else to take care of her, so when Callum Royal shows up claiming to be her guardian she wants nothing to do with him. She does want a future that doesn't involve dollar bills being shoved down her G-string, though. So when Callum offers her ten grand a month until she turns eighteen to stay with him, she isn't stupid enough to turn it down. But she never expected she would have to put up with his sons, none of whom like her and make it their life mission to make her life a living hell. The Royal's have no idea what war they just brought on themselves. Ella kicked some butt in this book and I loved her from the very first page. It takes a lot for me to like a heroine, and I usually end up hating them or just tolerating them. But with Ella there wasn't much that I didn't like about her. She was strong for a seventeen year old girl, and held her own against the jerks she was supposed to see as "brothers" for a year. I think one of the reasons I liked her character so much was because she was so real. There was no bulls*** try to make her invincible, she was just a girl who had been through a lot of things and had to find the best way to survive. She had feelings that got hurt, or that she didn't fully understand - which I'm sure is something all of us can relate to. This isn't our typical sweet romance, and it's not even the typical jerk hero type of romance either. Reed was the "leader" of the Royal brothers and they all took their cues from him. So when he decided Ella was not to be trusted, they did too. When he said she needs to go, they jumped on board in helping push her away. Under that hate he hid his real feelings, feelings that he was too scared to show. But when those feelings slipped out into the open, my heart fluttered for him. His and Ella's romance was far from conventional, but it had me enthralled with them, and the sexual tension was Hot with a capital H. I can't really say there was suspense to the story but from the time Ella showed up at the Royal's house there was a bit of mystery to the family. I was so captivated by them and needed to find out all the dirty laundry they had hidden in their pasts.These Royal's will make you hate them, understand them, and like them all in the course of this one book. Each Royal brother has their own issues and it was very interesting to try and figure them out. These authors did not hold back with this book. It was an in-your-face, intense story that will hold you captive and make you fall in love with all of these characters. The family dynamic kept the story intriguing and I think everyone that reads this will think the same thing. I urge everyone to read this book, even if you're hesitant because of the genre because I promise it will be worth it. Warning: This book is highly addictive. Make sure you start it when you have a few hours to do nothing but read while you ignore real life.
