Throughout the story, Ella grows closer to Reed and the other brothers (luckily in different ways).

I loved watching Ella learn about her new preppy and rich world.

Of course, they’re all terrible assholes. She learns that her father was his business partner and recently passed away, so she will now be living with Callum, attending an elite prep school, and inheriting five “brothers” who want nothing to do with her. It’s like nothing Ella has ever experienced, and if she’s going to survive her time in the Royal palace, she’ll need to learn to issue her own Royal decrees.Įlla is a stripper trying to make her way once her mom died, when she’s suddenly scooped up by rich guy Callum Royal.
