These Royals will ruin you.

Easton Royal has it all: looks, money, intelligence. His goal in life is to have as much fun as possible. He never thinks about the consequences because he doesn’t have to.

Until Hartley Wright appears, shaking up his easy life. She’s the one girl who’s said no, despite being attracted to him. Easton can’t figure her out and that makes her all the more irresistible.

Hartley doesn’t want him. She says he needs to grow up.

She might be right.

Rivals. Rules. Regrets. For the first time in Easton’s life, wearing a Royal crown isn’t enough. He’s about to learn that the higher you start, the harder you fall.

One thing is for sure, when you’re reading an Erin Watt story prepare to clear your schedule because damn are they addictive. Fallen Heir was just like Paper Princess for me, I wouldn’t put it down for anything. Then on the plus side we already know Easton and if you’re anything like me, I have been dying for an Easton book since I read the first three books in The Royals series. Easton has a bunch of demons in his closet that he needs to sort out and then let out and watching him struggle was and is the hardest thing. I just want to hug him and help him but since he’s fictional, I can’t.

Easton, our player, who is a vice loving Royal. We saw him struggle in the first three books and now it’s time for him to get on the short and narrow. Easier said than done that’s for sure. Whatever Easton is doing he’s getting himself into some kind of trouble. He’s nothing like his brothers, he doesn’t want to rule the school like both Reed and Gideon did previously, he just wants to coast on through with a different chick on his arm every week and fly some planes. Our boy though needs to sober up to fly planes and his different girl every week changes course when the new girl, Hartley Wright, burst into it. Except for one small thing... Hartley wants nothing to do with Easton, she doesn’t want to hook up with him, he doesn’t want to be associated with him, she wants nothing to do with Easton Royal. She wants to fly under the radar this year but Easton is making that seriously complicated for her.

The best thing about reading Easton’s story is watching him fall on his ass for Hartley and he doesn’t even know it. He tries so hard to keep his reputation as one thing and she goes and runs a tornado through it. Then Easton will make some progress but then he gets far to into his head and messes it up and it’s so hard not to reach into the book and shake him or just put a hand over his mouth. He’s starting to grow and change but he has a lot more work to do. Then there’s Hartley who keeps you just as invested. Watt does an amazing job to keep you questioning who this girl is and what is hidden in her closet. Which makes her and Easton inevitably perfect for one another, they both keep so much bottled up they’ll need each other as an outlet eventually.

Fans of The Royal Series OBVIOUSLY need to read this and book readers who love angst, moody, high tension teenagers, need to read this. Everyone just needs read this series. Oh and PS Erin Watt knows how to do jaw dropping endings. I literally gasped at the end of this book, and no I won’t give any clues to what it pertains to, you’ll just have to read it to find out.
