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.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK
Q: Is this really a YA?
We recommend this for young adult readers, age 17 and up. We think it’s a book that will appeal to older teens and those adults who are in touch with their inner teen, like us.
Q: Is there a cliffhanger? I’ve heard there’s an awful cliffhanger! Why’d you write a cliffhanger?
We promise that we didn’t set out to write a cliffhanger, but Paper Princess does end in one. The good news is that the next book will be released July 25, 2016.

MICHELLE’S REVIEW
So. I’ve already read this twice. I cannot get enough of this book.
As I mentioned to the authors- it’s like 90210 meets The Heathers meets Young and the Restless and pretty much every show on Bravo. And I love every delicious word.
Ella comes to live with Royal family after the patriarch, Callum, comes to collect her as her new legal guardian. Ella has lived a tough life with her mother and though they had nothing to their name- they had love. The Royals- they have everything- but love has escaped their household.
When Ella comes to the house- the 5 Royal brothers are automatically on edge (well 4- one of them is away at college for the first meeting) and with Reed as their leader, they take their cues from him. Reed is immediately on edge about Ella but it’s clear from the beginning that simmering under their hatred of one another is an emotion much more powerful.
And so begins a story so deliciously scandalous and trashy in a good way that it has to be fattening.
This book is the perfect level of taboo. It’s not so much that you would be uncomfortable but just enough to not be traditional in any sense of the word.
The cliffhanger at the end of this book may lead to excessive drinking but I don’t doubt that the authors will make it worth it. This book is like nothing I have seen in our romance world and it is definitely not like any YA book I’ve ever read!! It is in a league of it’s own.
Characters that you root for even when you don’t know why, enemies that are so evil because they’re real life evil and supporting characters who you like so much that you’d give your left arm for their stories next- all add up to one phenomenal book. Reed Royal will leave you questioning all of your date choices and Ella is so strong even when she feels like falling apart that you cannot help but root for her. I cannot wait to dive deeper into the world of the Royals!!! More please!!!!
