Cruel Prince by Ashley Jade

5.0

Damn it... All these amazing books releases are literally kicking me in the ass. When I read an amazing book., I sit for hours, even days trying to gather my thoughts and put into words how amazing the book is, and with Cruel Prince, this was definitely the case! To say I was excited about this book would be an understatement so when it finally turned up on my kindle, I literally screamed in excitement and dove in, and the wait was worth it. Cruel Prince is book one in the Royal Heart Academy series and this book starts the series off with a bang!

Ashley Jade delivered one hell of a start to a series and I cannot imagine it getting any better, but no doubt I will be proven wrong. She blew my mind!



Dylan was awesome, I loved everything about her. It broke my heart reading everything she went through and is going through, she was troubled, but she was fierce and she had me loving straight away. She was standoffish yet outspoken and to me she was strong and when put in the position she will fight for herself and she did for the most part. But heart hurt for this girl. SO bad.



Jace... Jace, Jace, Jace... I was not ready for this guy, and I don't think any else was or will be. He was angry, he bled anger, he had some deep-seated anger that eats at him and everyone else. He is the bad boy you will love to hate and hate to love... He is the type of character that had me hell-bent out of shape. I wanted to slap him more than once through this book, but then I couldn't help but be smitten with him. GAHHHH... I am a sucker for a bad boy, alpha, asshole type!





Dylan moves out of town fast forward four years and she is back in town living with her aunt and starts at Royal Hearts Academy, which is a school for the rich, the elite, and now Jace is older, he's the hot popular bad boy in school and he wants nothing more than to send her right back to where she came from, he doesn't want her there and he makes it known and being the popular guy in school, all the other students follow which means she is left as the outside that people continue to torture and these students are ruthless..



But you can tell that there is more to Jace, that this anger and this hate he has for Dylan is coming from a deeper place and that it really isn't hate at all...The push and pull between these two is intense, to say the least. It was almost driving me crazy.



This book was amazing. I have really been into the YA books lately, especially the bully romance and this book ticks all the right boxes for me. It was actually quite an emotional read. It held it all. Emotion, darkness, lust, love, passion, hatred, fear, fuck load of angst.

LIKE SO MUCH FUCKING ANGST!



This book had my mind on overdrive and had me second-guessing myself, second seeing how I feel about some of these characters. The author is known for her intense, all-consuming, insane and emotionally in-depth plots and this is exactly the same. It kept me on my toes and I was addicted to each and every word. It was extremely well written and the author didn't shy away from much and I absolutely loved every second of this book!



Highly recommend this book to anyone that love angst-filled, bully romance.
THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

5 Stars!
