 5 stars! 
 This book is everything I expected and more. I love it. I loved it the first time I read it, and loved it even more the second time around. 
 Man, Elle and Jen really do keep their word that the Royals will ruin us. If Paper Princess killed me, Broken Prince eliminated any chances of reincarnation. 
 Paper Princess was told purely in Ella's point of view, but in Broken Prince, we are given a chance to see some things in Reed's eyes--why he did the things he did, what really happened, what's going on with his family. 
 The story follows right after Paper Princess when Ella ran away. No one knows what happened to her and where she's been, and her disappearance has taken a toll on the Royal family. The balance they seemed to have found because of Ella was taken from them, and I suppose the loss was a bit too much. 
 Broken Prince is as gripping as Paper Princess, but deeper and darker. We see the aftermath of Ella's disappearance, the true colors of some of the characters, some of the mysteries in the first book, and a deeper connection between Ella and Reed. 
 Ella reluctantly returns to the Royals after being found, but this time, the ease she had with them is no longer there. She tells herself that the Royals are her enemies; the prison guards in her life in Royal prison. But despite her conviction to keep her heart untouched, the Royal boys just can't stop creeping back into her heart. Reed, especially. 
 Sweet, sweet Reed. Sometimes I don't know if I want to kiss him or punch him in the face. He's every bit of alpha you can find in a man, and when an alpha wants something, he will do everything in his power to get it. And Reed wants Ella back. 
 It's amazing that someone like Ella--poor, orphaned, seemingly broken--could be the most whole among them. She, who has been thrust into a world of opulence and grandeur, is the one with the least fucked up life. And that's saying a lot. She never met her father, lived in poverty with her mother and soon on her own, but her grief and problems are nothing compared to the Royal boys. 
 Here you can see that money definitely isn't everything, and money can't give you instant happiness. 
 I want to hug these boys, wrap them up in a blanket, and cradle them all until they're all better. Reed. Gideon. EASTON. Sebastian and Sawyer. Maybe even papa Royal, Callum. I want to take care of them all. 
 I won't divulge much because I'm pretty sure I might spoil you readers. But damn. DAMN. The ending murdered me. My heart was beating so fast and my mind was racing and *insert keyboard smashing*. I don't know what I'd do with my life until October, but I can't wait to get my hands on Twisted Palace! I'm shaking in my seat in anticipation. (Seriously)
