Goodness, I really really enjoyed this book! I didn’t really know what to expect, apart from it had been recommended to me as ‘one to read’. I had read the blurb and thought I would give it a go, especially when I realised that Erin Watt was actually the pseudonym for authors Elle Kennedy and Jen Frederick. Admittedly I’ve not actually read anything by Jen Frederick, but I have read Elle’s books in the past and loved them so I went in with high hopes! And it did not disappoint…at all!
Seventeen year old Ella Harper is getting though each day making ends meet, working extra jobs, as well as going to school and living completely alone. She has never known her Dad and her Mum passed away recently. Although not ideal, it’s working for her, it’s all she knows, and all she wants to do is get an education to go to college, finish her studies and get a decent job. Then out of the blue, Callum Royal appears, whisks her away and pops her right into his life, in his mansion, with his 5 sons…… who really don’t want her there!!
The boys don’t trust her motives as to why she is there and there are a lot of background stories with their father too. These Royal brothers are HOT!! And they all have fantastic character, from the identical twins, to the eldest at college, which leads to excitement on every page. At times the boys are brutal and mean, and Ella is introduced on the receiving end of that.
Although not the oldest, Reed is the ‘leader’ of the brothers and they all look to him for direction. You’ll dislike like the brothers, then you’ll like them and then you’ll hate them again! This book is written with fantastic pace, so there is never a dull moment.
I loved Ella’s character. She was a really strong female character, simply because she’s always had to be. So when she is given certain obstacles or things come up against her, she doesn’t let it get in her way and will say it exactly how it is.
And Ella & Reed…. phew! You could cut that tension (sexual or otherwise) with a knife! Eeeeek!
This book is funny! There were some really great parts, especially where those brothers are involved. It’s a book of friendship, trust, betrayal, love, anger, heat, passion, and angst! It really does have it all. I read it really quickly and devoured every page and before I knew it I had got to the end…. and OMG!!! Cliffhanger… But such a FANTASTIC one! Honestly, it was so good and I cannot wait until book number 2 is released!

The first time I read Paper Princess by Erin Watt was back in 2017 and it was one of the best reads of the year for me. The storyline sucked me in right away and I was heading off to one click the next book before I had reached the last page.
When poor Ella Harper is forced to relocate and live in the same house as spoilt Reed Royal and his brothers, her presence shakes his precious kingdom. Hating her poor status and thinking she’s just another gold digger he goes out of his way to make her life miserable. Little did he know that Ella was made of stronger stuff and bowed down to no Royal man, especially Reed.
I loved Ella; she was one badass heroine with her sassy attitude and independent nature. She was sexy and comfortable in her own skin, along with being protective, vocal and loyal. Having dealt with a crap upbringing she was used to being an adult and looking out for herself. The hero Reed Royal was the complete opposite to her. He had grown up in wealth and was a spoilt rich kid. His three brothers at home were his Royal subjects who followed his command and they worked as a team to piss off their father. These boys could certainly push some buttons with the hurt they carried.
What ensued with Ella and Reed in their hate game turned into an addictive read for me and I loved it all; the angst, the chemistry between Ella and Reed and the thawing of hearts as hate turned into love and the game plan changed. I also loved the sibling banter, and the relationship Ella had with Reed’s father Callum. My heart went out to him as he was a good father who just handled things badly, which led to his sons hating him. I did want to slap him over his stupidity and bad taste in women though! Lol
The Erin Watt team certainly caused a stir with this Royal series!

i saw some reviews that people saying this book was straight out of wattpad. if i’m being honest some parts might have wattpad features but i think that’s what made it so hard to put down. i loved the three books on ella and reed. i may go onto read the next too on other love interest but seriously buy this book and don’t think twice you’ll love all three books and won’t be able to stop reading. it’s more than just a typical romance there’s so many twist and things that’ll make you gasp like you’ve never gasped before. if you like the film culpa mia this one is for you.
