Easton is a hot freaking mess, but I wouldn't expect anything else from a kid who's been left to deal with his emotional issues through the drugs, sex and the bottom of a bottle. But Easton figured out how to grow-up and be the guy I thought he could be. He fought for Hartley and his brothers. He suffered the consequences when he did something stupid and he finally figured out what his family meant to him.
This series is a guilty pleasure series for me. The kids are over the top and way to caught up in what their parents money can get them (or get them out of), but it's like watching a trashy night-time serial...I just can't get enough of it.

Whoah. It's over. Finally. This whole series was so dramatic and over the top, but even though I didn’t rate the books really high I still had a fun and good time. Characters were a lot to handle and the situations were unbelieveable but I liked it.
This last book was really getting on my nerves at the beginning because the lost memory trope is not my favorite and I hate when other characters take advantage of that but the last third kind of made up for it and was actually enjoyable a lot.
In the previous book Hartley didn’t stand out to me at all but in this one, once she stopped pitying herself and realized she needed to do things she kind of grew on me and I even started to like her.
Easton was also a lot better in this book. He matured and I loved how he treated Hart and how he didn't push her to try to remember stuff and how he didn't force information on her and wanted her to be comfortable with him.
Those were the things that I enjoyed.
But to be honest I started to enjoy the book a lot later than I should have. I was frustrated and annoyed most of the time and nothing significant was happening until Hartley finally got her head out of the sand.
The end was once again too good to be true (not literally because people died, but you get it). It was really convenient for the characters but whatever.
The last chapter was nice. We got to see Ella and Reed's story come to an end and also a look at Hartley and Easton's future.
I'm happy I read this series. It was a lot of fun and I had a good time.

Plot de amnesia foi péssimo, grande parte do livro foi péssimo, mas eu gosto dos dois e o casamento da Ella e do Reed no fim fez valer o tempo.

Can’t say I liked the plot of this one. There seemed to be a continuity error regarding Easton and Hartley’s relationship between the last book and this one, or Easton is just plain delusional. Easton drove me nuts with his attitude and actions for most of the book, which were realistic for one struggling with addiction and hit too close to home for me. Hartley’s parents are f*cking AWFUL. As is Felicity. The resolution to the over arching conflict was…I don’t even know. Reed and Ella’s books were definitely stronger than these last two.

So good
My review is for the whole series. I waited patiently until all books were out. Let me tell you I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed each book so much I probably would've gone crazy waiting for the next one. The series as a whole was fantastic. I loved it and am so glad I read it.

Ugh was it really necessary to wipe Hartly's memory? I hated that and mostly skimmed that part cuz I couldn't care less and was a cheap way to add way more unnecessary drama. The author could have come up with any other conflict.A disappointing and drawn out finale.

*sigh*
Paper Princess was so good. I really, really wanted this last book to go back to that level, I wanted to love it.
Sadly it fell flat for me.
I just didn't care. About any of it. Hartley was so damn boring. And Easton wasn't much better. It was all so repetitive. Maybe it would have been better if books four and five got condensed into a single book. I don't know at this point.
And, then the wedding happened. Talk about things coming out of nowhere, right?

Spoilerfree Review
So every one who knows how i expected that book should be able to say how much i enjoyed these Final. Its amazing that i just found the Royals series one year ago from today. These book was one hte books i waited the most for there release.
God from the moment on i saw that these book is available now it was clear i have to read read these book as fast as possible. And by these fluently style off writing that hadn't been a big problem. Again i had the feelings that sleep had been not necessary.
I liked it how the Erin Watt let the characters interact with each other again in these book.
I as a grate off Ella and Reed was really happy that we had the chance to get some updates of them. After reading Fallen Heir i was a bit worried of both of them.
In my opinion Easton finds a good way to deal with his problems. And we see that he grows up.
But i also had some caracters wanna to slap because of the way they have acted.
While reading the whole book i was always like oh my god can it get any more dramatic.
Now there are two maincharacters in this book there are tow maincharaters on the one hand we have Easton. As we know from the other books he has a lot of problems. While reading these book i developed more sympathy for Easton. Even that that point doesn't helps explain all off his actions. I had moments where i want to shake him hard as is possible but also in some could say hi, that his development moves in the write direction. I realised that East i are sharing some feelings about our place in our Family although i'm not the middle child. Eventhough i got to know him better now. I think there is alot more to explore. Than he is one of the most complex characters, i felt ever in love with.
The second of the founders is Hartley a young girl wich touched me in speceial way. With the young women i could love laughing and cry. Hartley i a strong heroine, who says out loud if something bothers her. She knows what she wants and what she needs to get. I like her just i like Easton. I felt a big sympathie for her, because oh her Humor and her thougtfull nature. I admaire this girl and she is one of my friends.
All on all it was a great final for theses Series and all my hopes in that book were fullfilled. Five of stars again for these book.
