You would assume with a title like this, that this book is a rags to riches-- modern day Cinderella. Instead this book pulls Ella our wayward Royal, from stripping into the the life of the elite. What you think you know is wrong, be prepared to be sucked into this gloriously entertaining story.
She finds out that while her life looked seedy before this new life has a hidden underbelly that is asking to destroy her.
Ella's Mother died and as a 17 year old woman she stole her ID so that she could provide for herself in the best way she knew how--stripping. The day she finds out she has a new guardian she runs for it, taking a job a full nudity club. Her first request of the evening is a lap dance to her new handsomely rich guardian, Callum Royal.
He literally steals her away from that life, throwing her into his "royal palace" with his five sons and SKANKY girlfriend. Okay maybe she isn't that swanky but I didn't get good vibes from her. It felt like she was lying. Actually most people in this story made me feel like they had ulterior motives.
Now let's get to the boys: Gideon, Reed, Easton, Sawyer and Sebastian. PRO: They are all hot. CON: They are all assholes. Lucky for Ella, she has dealt with worse than a few horrifically spoiled teens.
However as her time with the Royals last the deeper her relationships get with the family. Some platonic, some--remarkable, steamily--not. I was so worried this was going to pull a City of Bones and tell us that they are related. They're not, so one worry down. As far as worries go, this book does end on a cliff hanger. I hate cliff hangers! I finished this book, went to read books 2 The Broken Prince and found I couldn't. So instead I reread this book. If that doesn't tell you how compelling and well written this book is I don't know what will.
I love Ella's character she showed vulnerability where in most Cinderella stories the "Cinderella" is someone so hardened nothing effects them to the point of not being believable. She breaks a few times yet doesn't stay down for long. Her heart shows through her rougher exterior when, even though they are being epic buttheads, she tries to be there for the boys.
Now the boys are a different story! I am not even sure what is going on in their minds which is why I NEED the Broken Prince NOWWWWWW! I need it. Now. Period. Now. Fucking Cliffhanger.
