I have been desperate for this book ever since the dramatic cliffhanger ending of Paper Princess, but it was a big mistake to stay up late to finish it though, it left me restless all night with hardly any sleep – there were far too many questions going round my head!
This book starts off right where Paper Princess ended, and we get to read those events from Reed’s perspective. We get to see exactly why Brooke was in his bedroom, why Reed was stunned into silence when Ella found them together, and why he didn’t come after her.
“My instincts had screamed at me that she was trouble. My instincts were wrong. She wasn’t trouble. I was. Still am. Reed, the destroyer. It’d be a cool nickname if it wasn’t my life and hers that I’m taking down.”
What happens next? Well the Royals, who were so vehemently against Ella when she first arrived, actually start to fall apart after her departure. She has had such an impact on the family in her short time in the Royal household , and they are desperate to find her and bring her back. I really felt for Easton, he had formed such an attachment to Ella, and he was gutted when she went.
“You should be strung up by your nuts and hung out to dry.” He spits at my feet. “If you don’t find Ella and bring her back, I’ll be first in line to see it done.”
There’s not a lot I can say without giving away spoilers, and this book is best experienced going in blind. There is so much going on in this story, there are revelations, shocks, and jaw dropping, heart stopping moments! One thing is for certain, once you start reading, you won’t want to stop!
I love how the story is woven so skillfully together, there are answers to questions raised in Paper Princess, and then there are more revelations too. Then, just when you think you have something figured out – BAM! All of a sudden the rug is pulled out from under you – AGAIN! An explosive beginning, a story packed with drama, highs and lows, and another mind blowing ending. O.M.G. that ending. SWEET JESUS indeed!
I’m going on holiday in October, but I think I’m more excited for Twisted Palace than my 2 weeks in Kos! I can only hope my hotel has a damn good WiFi connection so that I can download Twisted Palace on release day, as it doesn’t come out until after I leave for Greece!

WOW!!! After the Cliffy of book 1 I was dying to read this one.
I was gripped from start to finish. There’s so much going on my head was completely spinning.
These guys are all in, in your face they are all forces of nature. There is nothing modest about any of these Royals.
My heart was in my mouth especially at the end. These books have the motherfuxxers of all cliffhangers. Like Jaw on the floor gonna Pee yourself cliffys. I love them. I’m kinda disappointed I don’t have to wait before reading part 3.
My favourites are still Easton and Callum. I’m dying to read more about them. Yes I love Reed and Ella too.
Bring on the rest of the series, I’m hooked on these Royals now.

Daring to care has broken both Reed and Ella, but that is only the start of their troubles. Their high-society school recognises the slip of the Royal family’s control, and everything devolves into chaos. Even at home, old enemies return to plague the Royals.
Just give me a minute…
Bloody hell, Watt knows how to write a cliff-hanger. I thought the end of Book 1 was pretty effed up, but this one was just…
give me a minute…
Yes, I enjoyed this, very much so.
It starts with Reed, dealing with the aftermath of his “betrayal” of Ella. Of trying to bring her back, when she runs away. And dealing with the blackmailing Brooke, who doesn’t care which Royal she gets her gold-digging claws in.
Then it brings in Ella, when it’s clear she’s going to stop running. I was a little disappointed that her time away from the Royals was glossed over – after all, this is the girl who worked at strip clubs with her dead mother’s ID to survive. But I as happy to see her back.
I was even happier that she didn’t immediately jump onto Reed and forgive his lying arse.
I felt that the story was a little bit sweeter than the first book, because Ella knows about the stuff going on in the Royals lives; Reed is working hard to be a good guy for her (but not above beating somebody); and Valerie provides something invaluable – Ella’s first real friend, and someone who missed her when she ran.
That being said, it still hits hard.
Aster Park is sensing weakness from the usually unbreakable Royal brothers, and the high-society teens are pushing the boundaries. Everything breaks down into absolute chaos, and needs a very strong hand to slap it back into place.
I might have mentioned this in my review of the first book, but Ella is awesome.
There’s other drama around Brooke regaining entry into the Royal family, but I won’t mention any of that, because it might spoil.
And then there was that ending…
Next book, please.

Broken Prince is the amazing second book in the trilogy that is The Royals, by Erin Watt.
The first book Paper Princess ended on a cliffhanger and Broken Prince pretty much picked the story up right from that point. We got to find out more about what happened at the end of Paper Princess and the story in Broken Prince just kept getting better and better.
It seems like Ella and Reed just cannot stay away from each other at all. Somehow they find themselves drawn towards each other, no matter what happened in the world outside, these two would always find each other.
There were more twists and turns in Broken Prince, and we get to read from both Ella’s and Reed’s POV at the same time, and I really enjoyed that.
You get to the end of Broken Prince and bam you get not one but two cliffhangers at the same time! That’s a really brilliant (and evil!) way to end a book but I’m fortunate to be able to get straight onto Twisted Palace, the next book in this trilogy, so that I can carry on the story.
