You can never have enough in this world. Haven't you learned that yet?

Alright, I have no idea how Erin managed to put it out actually bearable. Really, it may be the only thing that makes me go throughout this ridiculous drama filled works. They turn out to be insanely addictive.

So, everyone's still a bitch. Brooke, Dinah, Val's cousin whose name does not concern me, Daniel, Ella, Reed.... feels good to know nothing changed. Although, I must admite that 'Broken Prince' surpassed my expectations.

Don't get all worked up for this. I still hate Ella. She ain't changed a bit. Yes, I do acknowledge she is a good-hearted woman but that doesn't make her any less irritable. I appreciated her for like, 25% of the book. Specially when she was still trying to 'resist' Reed. 'Resisting' because, honestly, the only thing that pretty young horny boy has of irresistible is his looks and his wallet.



She’s mine and always has been. From before we even met, she was mine and I was hers. I fought it too long, but I’m giving in now. I’m all in now.


My reactions to some (with some I meant pretty much all) of Reeds POV's:

I've learned to ignore the whole 'We are helplessly in love' plot between Ella and Reed. I'm just not accepting this one. They fell way too hard, way too soon. Love needs time to develop, not a couple of shared glances and steamy hookups with one or two pleasant conversations.

Erin Watt took the Soap Opera drama to a... lower level on this one. I know, it sounds bullocks but, I have to admit, I enjoyed this one far more than 'Paper Princess'. There was way less smut, which I appreciated. More drama, of course,
Spoilerand a surprising death and resuscitation. Can I just say: I found it really interesting how Watt solved the small enigmas so quickly and so cleverly. Take the whole 'Callum's not the father' scheme.

Rest in peace, Brooke. You will not be missed.

But, IS SHE REALLY DEAD?
After that cliffhanger and twist, I trust no one. I have, however, some predictions/wishes: Val and Easton get together ALREADY, Dinah dies, Callum and Steve marry, the Twins fuck off, Gideon gets a single novel and runs back to his girlfriend (Samantha, I think) and Reed fucks Ella already.
Because, honestly? It's about damn time.
