They recently lost their mother and didn’t need more change in their lives. Callum had 5 very large, intimidating sons who seemed to hate her on sight. And they were going through their own problems. She was ripped from everything she knew to move and live with this new family she never heard of. His best friend and business partner, Callum Royal, stepped in to be her guardian. Turns out, her father, who she never knew about, was a billionaire who had just found out about her before he died in a tragic plane crash. Until one day she gets called to the Principal’s office where her new guardian was waiting.

When her mom died, Ella was almost 18, so she didn’t let anyone know because she had no living relatives and didn’t want to get put into the foster system. She had been sick for a long time and Ella took care of her, helping to pay the bills by stripping at 15. It seemed to be a mashup of every New Adult book out there Ella’s mother died. While I enjoyed it, I found nothing unique about it, and Royal was a last name. To be honest, it read like a YA stepbrother book. I saw Royals and Princess, and after reading and enjoying two other ‘Royal’ type books this fall, I figured I’d really like Paper Princess. I didn’t read the blurb or reviews first. I should preface this review by saying I bought this solely from popularity. I actually read a few pages over someone’s shoulder on a plane this fall and it caught my eye.

The Royals Series by Erin Watt seemed to be on so many favorite lists for 2016 that I picked up the first, Paper Princess when it went on sale to see what all the fuss is about.
