In an awkward and creepy scene at the strip club, he surprises and then kidnaps Ella.
Callum is rich, determined and has no intention of letting her run away. Unbeknownst to Ella, Callum has been watching her and knows about her mother, her job at Daddy G’s, and her precarious existence. Ella doesn’t believe him – why should she? She doesn’t know him, her luck in life is pretty much non-existent, and a strange man is telling her he’s going to take her away. Callum insists he’s her guardian now that both her parents are deceased, and he plans to take her to his home. Ella gets called into the school office and is introduced to Callum Royal. Her slow death from cancer sucked any small amount of joy from Ella’s life and left her on the edge of homelessness and poverty, until one afternoon, everything changes. Things weren’t so great when her mom was alive – they moved frequently, her mom flitted from one bad boyfriend to another, and they were poor. Her mother (she never knew her dad) is dead, she strips at a nightclub to support herself, and she’s trying to get her high school degree. If you like your YA sophisticated, dark and sexy, this is the book for you.Įlla Harper is just getting by. I do think some of the subject matter and a scene or two are a bit mature for the YA designation, but mostly Paper Princess gets things just right. I read it in one sitting and was entertained the whole way through. The pace is fast, the characters are complex and the ending… well, I don’t want to give anything away. Paper Princess is the YA brainchild of authors Jen Frederick and Elle Kennedy (both of whom write terrific and sexy NA sports romances), writing under the pen name Erin Watt – and I couldn’t put it down.
