Broken Prince by Erin Watt

3.0

---

It's more than 3 stars, but I can't give it a 4. So we'll stick to 3.4 stars.

14% Omg so much unnecessary drama. I love drama, but not this kind. This is a full out soap opera. Even Ella's pov's weren't this melodramatic.

21% He’s larger than life, incorrigible, often annoying and always screwed-up.
Easton is undoubtedly my most and up until this point, my only favorite Royal brother.

48% This gets uglier and uglier. And disgusting. There's literally not one good thing about this book, except the writing style.

58% I really don't get this. It's like everybody's beating up everybody, everybody's getting into a fight with everybody, everybody's sleeping with everybody and everybody's getting back at everybody. It's just so messy. The whole story is so messy.

92% Okay Callum.... Well he may be flawed, but he's still very perfect. I've honestly never had anything against him and despite all the turns that the book took, I never believed most of the negative stories about him and I was right to do so. He's good. He's always been good.

100% whaaaaaaaaaat

More thoughts

I still think Brooke deserved a chance. A proper chance.

I find Ella annoying. I found her a bit annoying in the previous book, but now that's skyrocketed. Don't get me wrong, she's still one of the strongest female leads I've read about. She's been through so much and I'll always respect her for her immense strength and courage. But God is she so full of contradictions and is so all over the place and in not a good way. I hate it when she tries fighting over the silliest of things, someone has got to teach her about picking her battles. But I do appreciate her for making Reed work for it.

Yup I still can't forgive and forget Reed for the way he initially treated her. He was the worst Royal. And in this book, he does do a lot of grovelling and I guess that means I have to work on myself to indeed forgive Reed. But then again, I also feel like he's become such a drama queen in this book and that's annoying me. Also I think he's a total D for hooking up with his father's gf just to get back at his father. Like, this guy's next level messed up.

Me reminding myself that I need to let go of Reed's past actions:
And the fact that she’s in so much pain tells me that she needs me. Only a coward would stop fighting now.
Coz this monologue just scored him some major points.

Not the least bit sick of repeating myself. Easton is totally my favorite Royal Brother.

Whatever girl takes on Easton is going to have to hold a whip in one hand and a pistol in the other.
Oh I love this guy.

And of course Callum has my respect. I respect Callum Royal. I'm not sure how many people would be on board with this, but I personally think he might have a shot at that Father of the Year award. He's flawed, yes, but so are the rest of us. We're all humans after all. But his efforts and love for his family outweigh his flaws and that's what matters the most.

Me noticing Wade for who he is:
Me appreciating his presence and his humour:
Me adding Wade to my list of characters I like in this series:
The beginning of my appreciation for Wade:
Wade instantly falls on one knee. “Oh, dear maiden. Please allow me to insert my member into your cavern of pleasure and take you to heights only the immortals have known.”
After Easton, Wade's the only other guy in the past two books who comes close to entertaining.

Low-key stan Val.

I very strongly feel the need to mention this about each book in this series:

Despite all this, the writing style is epic. It's super intriguing and engaging. The pace is well set. Regardless of every other thing I hated about this book, I do have to mention that it sucked me right in and I really couldn't put it down. Sure it had a lot of issues but the writing style was so bloody compelling. And I know for that reason alone, I'll be following this author's works.
