If you have fallen in love with Paper Princess by Erin Watt and can't wait for the next book in the series, you should definitely check out A Secret Kiss by Alexia Praks! They follow a very similar plot layout with a girl being raised with a bunch of adopted brothers yet, A Secret Kiss is a little softer than Paper Princess as Sakura within the book isn't as daring and jaded as Ella. The main character are different enough that both books become completely seperate and while the plot lines are similar, there are definitely a few twists in both books that take them in different directions. I would definitely check out both books even if you haven't read either!
Paper Princess blurb
From strip clubs and truck stops to southern coast mansions and prep schools, one girl tries to stay true to herself.
These Royals will ruin you…
Ella Harper is a survivor—a pragmatic optimist. She’s spent her whole life moving from town to town with her flighty mother, struggling to make ends meet and believing that someday she’ll climb out of the gutter. After her mother’s death, Ella is truly alone.
Until Callum Royal appears, plucking Ella out of poverty and tossing her into his posh mansion among his five sons who all hate her. Each Royal boy is more magnetic than the last, but none as captivating as Reed Royal, the boy who is determined to send her back to the slums she came from.
Reed doesn’t want her. He says she doesn’t belong with the Royals.
He might be right.
Wealth. Excess. Deception. 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.

A Secret Kiss blurb
FALLING FOR SAKURA is the story of Caucasian-Japanese Sakura, her journey to finding herself, and her torn love for two very different brothers, Sebastian and Darcy Princeton.
When orphan Sakura once again meets the billionaire gorgeous brothers, Sebastian and Darcy Princeton, forbidden feelings are awakened and old flame ignites.
Orphan Sakura is accustomed to being rejected, hated, bullied, and unloved. When she is adopted by the wealthy Princeton family, she works hard to earn her new siblings’ trust and love. Her endeavor, however, ultimately leads to a series of unfortunate incidents.
Now years later, the twenty-three-year-old beauty dreads the moment she once again has to meet the drop-dead gorgeous brothers, due to arrive for their cousin’s wedding. Dodging their very presence is next to impossible since the brothers, who have forgotten who she is entirely, are attracted to her like moths to a flame and thwart her escapes at every turn. This, of course, leads to ungodly, tempting situations, awakens forbidden feelings, and ignites old flames that have been suppressed and laid dormant for many years. When she finds them competing for her—NOT for her sisterly affection, which she still deeply craves, but for her love as a woman—she is torn between Sebastian Princeton, the brother who loves her and watches over her from a distance, and Darcy Princeton, the brother who was once her best friend and now secretly yearns for her forgiveness and her love once again.
