Cracked Kingdom by Erin WattMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This just didn't work for me, more meh than dislike.
The last book ended on a cliffhanger with Easton Royal's girlfriend Hartley getting into a car accident with the Royal twins (Sebastian and Sawyer) and their girlfriend Lauren. As this book opens Seb is in a coma and Hartley collapses in the hospital waiting room.
I don't propose to bore you with the plot details. If you've read any of the preceding books you'll know that this is a series centring on a family of five boys with an absentee father and a dead mother who have more money than God and no self-control. There's illegal bare knuckles fight clubs, underage drinking, drugs, fast cars, loose women, lots of swearing and more bling than Liberace. But of course each of the Royal boys is just a poor lost soul who blames himself for something (usually the death of their mother) and needs the love of a good woman who won't stand any of his nonsense (and probably from a much poorer family).
I didn't like Easton at the end of the first book, for the first half of this book he was just an immature self-centred ass who drank too much, in the second half he became a model boyfriend (of course).
Hartley on the other hand ... (view spoiler)Her attitude just didn't ring true.
I'm still going to devour the next book because they are completely cracktastic nonsense - like Dynasty or Sunset Beach for the 2010s!
