There is an alternate cover edition for this ASIN here.

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.

Chapter 8-14 (view spoiler)[ oh wow why why why did reed do what he did for revenge.why not trust that their father was honest and loyal and not a womanizer.now because of him,ella is hurt and will continue hurting because brooke is back in the house.and callumand brooke getting married.is the baby even really a royal? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15-21 (view spoiler)[ this issue between reed and ella is confusing.i still hate brooke and dinah.please tell me that callum is asking for a paternity test and not trusting brooke blindly.wth?gideon and dinah? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21-28 (view spoiler)[ oh wow i never imagined all that happened.but so happy that reed and ella are back together.and holy shiz,ella teaching jordan a lesson was so hots.but if callum claims he knows most things even if he knows them late,does he know about reed and brooke,or dinah and gideon?will he be asking for a paternity test? (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ holy shit,daniel is really mad.going after freshmen?and then trying to kill reed for saving the girl from him?how did brooke die?i so hope its not reed?what happened when they met each other.why didnt reed be honest with ella when she asked?and now judge delacourte is trying to take revenge on callum for what callum did to daniel.ugh (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Callum manhandling her made me extra uncomfortable. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ Barely into this book and I hate every single character. Except Val. I like Val. She's not a bumbling idiot. Though it someone wants to adopt me into their very rich family, I am accepting all invitations. I respect Ella for still getting a job (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ Sawyer and Sebastian's little switcharoo thing is super creepy. But it's nice to know that Reed has some interests other than being a jerk all the time, though I'm not sure this random fighting negates being a jerk all the time. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ The thing is, if Easton was how he is now the whole time I would have really liked him. He's so decent now. I would actually ship him with Val if she wasn't already in love with the illusive Tam. But all that lil sis stuff while propositioning Ella I just can't get over (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Honestly snaps for Brooke because someone needed to break out that excessively abusive and harmful relationship. (hide spoiler)]

Ch7:
(view spoiler)[ Ella is crazy because of her running instinct.I really like Reed but he needs help.He needs to be calm for couple of hours not that much.Any way, the story is still intersting for me.
(hide spoiler)]

Ch.15:
(view spoiler)[ I missed Val and liked how she returned to the story. Ella and her father are just weird but I think that will change soon . I hope something good happen but I think a really bad thing is near.
(hide spoiler)]

Ch21:
(view spoiler)[ This is a boring part for me . Every thing stopped just for what Ella wants.I need to return to the case and know about the offer of the judge.I liked that the girls entered the story.I still love Val (hide spoiler)]

Ending:
(view spoiler)[ I liked the story more toward the ending but I felt the closure a little rushed and I waited for all the brothers to appear but but the twins didn't appear . Overall , I think it is an ok part of the series (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-9 (view spoiler)[ how the heck is steve alive?did dinah have anything to do with tbe failed harness?how can delacorte and callum do that to Ella?expect her to say she took drugs willingly and let reed off the hook for daniel to come back (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10-18 (view spoiler)[ wow j so hate steve right now.its like you never cared about ella before and now you try to control her life?heck you dont even care what she wants.And Dinah admitted to trying to kill Steve.And thinks gideon really wants her?Wow (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 19-27 (view spoiler)[ wow why why why is dinah so mean just cause she thinks all women only marry for money and when maria turned her down she wants revenge on the entire family?I so hope reed dont go to jail (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ holy crap i cant believe it.Jordan is such a bitch.She thinks that Reed will be happy to be going with her to the Winter Formal as if she is the only one who wants to be seen with him.She deserved what Reed said to her.ANd on top of that to find out that Steve was the one who killed Brooke?If Ella had not tripped over her suitcase and break the lamp she would never have found the truth.ANd i hateeeee Judge Delacorte (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-7 (view spoiler)[ oh wow easton is so annoying.I could kill him.And how many times does be plan on hurting Ella'S feelings (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8-14 (view spoiler)[ why is hartley not staying with her family?And why does she need a second job?I hate felicity or whatever her name is?And why is he jealous about how Ella feel im regards to reed? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15-21 (view spoiler)[ wow i really hate lauren and felicity.Why do they have to be so nasty and co trolling?And worst of all,why on earth does easton have to keep hurting ellas feelings or even hartley when one is someone who cares for him and he considers as his sister and the other is the girl he likes (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ holy heck,felicity is real nasty.And to find out that steve is trying to force Ella to testify for him instead of against him after all he had done,was crazy.And to find out that there is someone worse than steve?Hartleys father js mad. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-8 (view spoiler)[ wow hartley lost her memory thats so goddamned messed up.seb is in a critical condition from the accident.feel sorry for both of them.and really hate what felicity did to hartley.did her parents hide her phone or what? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9-18 (view spoiler)[ hmm hartleys mom is so damned mean.i mean you can see how badly hartley is hurt and still wanna force her home?and then dylan acts like hartley left her on purpose?so mean (hide spoiler)]

CHapter 19-26 (view spoiler)[ so hartley can tell to a certain extent who is lying to her and telling her the truth.thank god easton gave her a wake up call in regards to her listening to others filling her head with their fake memories and he gave her the real one. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ holy shit so steve was trying to use hartleys dad to get out of going to jail?and easton is his son biologically which means he and ella are half siblingsand hartleys memory loss was due to her dad causing her fall.he wanted to kill her and steve killed him and then himself so he didnt have to go to jail after shooting easton.and yayyy ella and reed gets married (hide spoiler)]

RESTARTING NOVEMBER 2ND, 2018

*******************************************************************
*******************************************************************

Just starting today. First book is a re-read for me. But I forgot so much, so it's in a way like a new read. :)

Chapter 1 - 3
(view spoiler)[ I don't like Ella. I know her life is how it is, because she is alone and tries to support herself. And maybe that's why she is the way she is. I get all that. But I don't like her. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 - 7
(view spoiler)[ Wellll.... all boys seem lovely. lol Ella is damned for sure. She needs to get to Reed and everyone else will follow his lead. She just needs to get on his better side. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Okay, I kinda like how Ella deals with Reed. The jerk deserves it. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[ Is it really worth it? All of it? The humiliation? Hm. I don't know. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ I hate all Royals but let's make out with one and Oh, I might like another one of Royal boys too. Geez. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20
(view spoiler)[ I think the speach Ella gave Reed finally got to him. He should have seen that she was telling the truth about herself. Things should get better.. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[ Ella should go to the date with Daniel. She should forget Royals. Nothing good will happen here. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 23
(view spoiler)[ Damn that Daniel. is he so desperate that he needs to drug girls to have them? Geez, he is pervert. Thank God for Royals. Good save. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24
(view spoiler)[ I have no words. Hm. I like that Reed didin't use Ellas conditions and didn't took her V. But still. I still feel like he used her knowing that it's more to her and like he said - he can't do this: him and Ella. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27
(view spoiler)[ Oh Daniel. You had it coming for a long time. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29
(view spoiler)[ Reed can be sweet, but does he know what he wants? One minute he says he don't want to start anything, then he comes to her bed at night? Really? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 30
(view spoiler)[ It all looks fine. I mean between Ella and Reed, but I still have a feeling like Reed is playing some sort of game. Hm. I hope I am wrong. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 32
(view spoiler)[ Will Ella give away her money just to save Easton? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 33
(view spoiler)[ Hundreds of milions. Damnnnnnnn. Thank you, daddy. (hide spoiler)]

Finished.
(view spoiler)[ I knew Reed is hiding something. But he with Brooke, really? That's just low. Damn. I guess my first thought would be to run too. She don't need Royals anymore, damn, she is rich. She can live however she wants and forget this roten family. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-2
(view spoiler)[ Then I think things can't get worse. There's a baby to look forward to. Yup.
Reed is so fucked up. I like how much Easton is mad at Reed for ruining everything. Like he said - Ella is the best what happened to us. For sure.
Ella is too smart for them to find her, that's a good thought to go to dad. The only choice. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3-5
(view spoiler)[ Reed has so much anger in him, it's a bit scary. He is always pissed and ready to brust any minute.
What Reed and Gideon is hiding? There is something more than they both sleeping with Brooke. There is something to do with why he left his girlfriend. Something happened. I want to figure out what. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ Well, I mean that guy deseve it. I knew sooner or later he will get his ass kicked by Reed. For once Dad wasn't as mad to clean up the mess.
Ella is back. I knew PI will find her, but is she really back? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 8
(view spoiler)[ Reed is stubborn. He will get Ella back whatever it takes. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 9
(view spoiler)[ It was so funny how Easton invited himself to Vals house. I bet he don't want to leave Ella alone and has to make sure she will come back and won't run away again. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 12
(view spoiler)[ That was harsh. the rumors and just everything. I guess the only bright side is the friendship with Val. And to learn that Brooke is back into Royals life is the last thing she needed today. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 1-4 (view spoiler)[I'll be honest, some strange man showing up saying that he is now my guardian would have me a little freaked out too. I think that instinct telling her that Royal was a predator was definitely founded. Thankfully, he isn't a predator. Ella knows almost nothing about her father, but Royal was able to get the things right that she did know. I think that the deal may be too good to be true, but I think that Royal really does want to help her. He doesn't seem like a creep. The Royal sons are definitely going to be trouble. They were so standoffish. I feel sorry for Ella. She is going to go through a rough patch before things could ever get better. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 5-9 (view spoiler)[What is up Reed's ass? He was so aggressive with Ella. But I loved how she played his game and made him uncomfortable. And Savannah was not so friendly either. I'm not sure what I think about Brooke. I love Valerie though! I hope that she and Ella become close. I think that they are good for each other. Jordan was a real bitch. I can just tell that she will be the main mean girl in this book series. At least Ella didn't take her crap. And I can't believe that Reed and Easton would abandon Ella on the side of the road at one in the morning. Assholes. I would have gone into their rooms and poured glitter and glue all over their beds as recompense. Jerks. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I actually like her. I like that she tries to stand on her own and deal with her own problems. There are some things that she does that I found irritating, but overall I like her. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, the boys are real pieces of work. Ugh. Such jerkwads. (hide spoiler)]
