Blurb:These Royals will ruin you…
From wharf fights and school brawls to crumbling lives inside glittery mansions, one guy tries to save himself.
Reed Royal has it all—looks, status, money. The girls at his elite prep school line up to date him, the guys want to be him, but Reed never gave a damn about anyone but his family until Ella Harper walked into his life.
What started off as burning resentment and the need to make his father’s new ward suffer turned into something else entirely—keep Ella close. Keep Ella safe. But when one foolish mistake drives her out of Reed’s arms and brings chaos to the Royal household, Reed’s entire world begins to fall apart around him.
Ella doesn’t want him anymore. She says they’ll only destroy each other.
She might be right.
Secrets. Betrayal. Enemies. It’s like nothing Reed has ever dealt with before, and if he’s going to win back his princess, he’ll need to prove himself Royally worthy.
OMG this book! Ok, I was pretty pissed about Ella’s reaction in the beginning. And while I appreciated her stubbornness in the first book, I felt that in this book the characters should show growth and hers was a bit slower. I mean, I get how she was just fed up, it was like she just couldn’t win for trying. After all her struggling to fit in and pushing Reed to give them a chance; she was finally thinking that things were changing for the better and then BAM! She’s knocked back down again. I still think she over-reacted when she walked in on Reed, just a tad.
Reed did a complete turnabout in this book and I had a real hard time believing the changes in his character. He was so resistant in the first book that his abrupt change from reluctantly giving them a chance to almost obsessively devoted just weren’t realistic to his character. I did enjoy how committed he stayed in his feelings and how hard he tried to change Ella’s mind.
Can I just say how much I LOVED the ending though! I jumped out of my chair and shouted, “NO WAY!” Then I laughed because, well if you read this book you would know why it was funny. Just so much different than the normal over the top YA drama that you come to expect with this kind of storyline.
And now for my favorite quotes:
“Forget it, Wade. I’d do things to you that would blow your mind, and then you’d never be able to enjoy yourself again because you’d keep comparing all your other girls to me and coming up short.” His mouth hangs open. I grin, because this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone get the better of Wade. “She knows things,” I confirm, even though I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about. “You know things,” he croaks out. Val nods. “I do.” Wade instantly falls on one knee. “Oh, dear maiden. Please allow me to insert my member into your cavern of pleasure and take you to heights only the immortals have known.” Val stands and picks up her tray. “If that’s your idea of dirty talk, you’ve got a lot to learn. Come with me.” She walks off. Wade turns to me and silently mouths, “Dirty talk,” with childish glee. I shrug and raise my hands, and he runs after Val. Like literally sprints.
There’s a simple pleasure in our closeness. The ocean is vast, the sky is endless, and Ella and I are together.
