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.

Holy effin' crap!!!!!!!
I want to start off by introducing the new author, Erin Watt. I've never heard of this author and from what I can tell, this her debute novel. She smashed it. It's kind of a mix between Eagle Elite series and Fallen Crest, both of which, I love.
As a reader I tend to look for certain qualities in a book. I reach out for stories I know I'll enjoy but will still put a spin on a book. Sometimes I can go from MC novels, to M/M romances, young adult, new adult, but what has always has me driven is the new age (As I call it) It's where kids are adults, mature enough to know right from wrong and take CALCULATED risks. Lately, I've been on a new age binge. None have got me worked up like the Fallen Crest Series until Paper Princess.
I was literally glued from the very start and needed to know what was going to happen next. I kept telling myself one more chapter, just one more... I stayed up until half four reading, then finally called it an end at 60% and it killed me.
The Royals aren't your normal stick up their ass rich snobs. They have a darkness and sadness hidden in each and every one of them. The main Royal brothers we see are Reed and Eastan. The others float in and out of the book as they please. All have hidden secrets and are to one or more things throughout the book.
Ella comes from a single parent who worked as a stripper to get by. When she fell ill Ella had to become the adult. She started working dead end jobs, even taking a roll as a stripper using her mothers ID. She doesn't stop doing this when her mom dies and I felt so deeply for the character.
When she moves in with the Royals they are quick too judge and make her time hard. At first. Even at school people take a disliking to her and try to make her time at their prep school hard, but luckily she makes one good friend. Val. Her quirky attitude is addictive and it's obvious why Ella falls into a easy friendship with her.
The story is just the beginning of the Royals and the cliffhanger at the end had me screaming out. I rushed onto Amazon and went to buy the second book, only to find it's not out yet. *Sigh* On a happy note, it's out this July.
I don't want to give away anything, so I'm going to leave the story line alone for now.
I'm so glad I stumbled across this book. I'm so gutted it's taken me until now to find it. I've never, not once, heard anyone mention this book and it pains me. This book should be screamed and raved about. Even the bloody frustrating ending that will having you begging for more. I don't think I'll be able to read anything now until it's released. LOL.
I'm looking forward to reading more from this author and more from the Royals and I'm wondering if we can persuade Erin to bring her release date forward lol
5* stars.
