REVIEW - Broken Prince (Cinderella #2) by Aubrey Rose


The Book
Release Date: 23 December 2013

The thrilling new follow up to the new adult bestseller Me, Cinderella? by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aubrey Rose! 

Happily ever after is just what they say in books. Real life is MUCH more complicated. 

Brynn can't believe her good luck. Her Cinderella story continues as she finds herself studying math in a castle on the edge of a Hungarian forest. However, no fairy tale lasts forever, and a letter about her mother's death opens up a whole new world of nightmares... 

Eliot, finally back in Hungary, is haunted by the lie he told ten years ago to protect his family. Now he finds that he can no longer hide his dark past from Brynn, and time is running out to finish his life's work in mathematics. 

The problem that neither one of them can solve is this: 

Once broken, can two shattered lives ever be made whole again?

My Review  4 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Fido Publishing for an honest review**

This book carries on a few weeks from the last book and also carries om with lots of maths that helps get the point across, but loses anyone who does not understand a greater level of maths themselves.

Both characters, although definitely a couple now, hide secrets from the other that eventually come to light, and for a change they both react well and in an adult way.

They story is told from dual point of view again and closes off some open doors and gives us a few new characters into the mix.

Brynn gets more shocks and her answers found although, were they the answers she was actually wanting?  Eliot too seems to finally figure himself out and, towards the end i find that his brother Otto is rather selfish with both him and Marta being a bit cut off for the working world around them.

The ending, although sad of Brynn's half is tear inducing and heart warming as Eliot is there from the moment he can.

The books are certainly with the read, but not something that i will be revisiting.
