Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Ashley Jade's ability to write smooth, natural character dialog is top-notch. I so appreciate that! It makes for a more worthwhile reading experience and just a fun time. This story had me glued to the pages, read it in one sitting. I read some reviews upset with how Jace treats Dylan, but you have to get to the end for it to make complete sense why he acts the way he does. Once you do, you won't be so upset with him - you'll end up understanding and sympathizing. I really had a good time with this book, and I'm immediately hopping into the next, Ruthless Knight. There were definitely some exciting tidbits thrown in about Sawyer & Cole that has me chopping at the bit to get straight into it. I adored Sawyer's spunk. I wish there were more feisty female characters like her around these romance book streets. Sadly and extremely disappointingly, they are few and far between. A. Jade is quickly becoming one of my favorite romance authors. Her books (writing style, character dialog & plot) are consistently reliable, with the exception of Hate Me, which was slightly too sensational for my tastes. I also can't fail to mention how fantastic the cheeky banter was in this book, along with some of the shenanigans some characters got up to. There is a dic pic incident that had me rolling out loud with laughter. It was fabulously hilarious!

This book just does something for me I can't explain. It's as good, if not better, the 2nd time around. It is extremely, extremely rare that I have the desire to reread a book. I only read this book for the 1st time a few months back. I've, now, finished it for the 2nd time, and I know I will 1000% be rereading it once again. I am rereading Ruthless Knight next - as in, as soon as I finish this updated review.
Whenever I start getting frustrated because other books/ stories aren't cutting it, I know I can turn to some of this author's work and be revived. If you haven't read this series, I would highly encourage you to give it a chance. The first 2 books in this Royal Hearts Academy series are the absolute best high school bully romances I've ever read (and probably ever will read). While a few, very few, have come close... this is the best, imo. I would compare it to the first couple of books from The Fall Away series by Penelope Douglas. And as much as I love those - these are better. Cruel Prince & Ruthless Knight are my Gold Standard in this category.

An angst bleeding, heartbreakingly beautiful coming-of-age, second-chance, dark romance
I knew before reading that this book would break me and that it did. Cruel Prince was the storm I never saw coming—where my emotions raged with the hero and heroine—as my heart was torn in pieces. Oh did my soul shatter and soar! I was hooked from the first page … feeling every word and everything.Cruel Prince is the coming-of-age saga starring a devastatingly handsome devil of a prince, and a beautiful and bold princess who burn together while battling the painful past and perception. I loved Jace and Dylan, characters with rich history, spanning from childhood friends to enemies to lovers. Oh did I feel that fine, barely there line between love and hate full of fire and desire.Jace, the all alpha anti-hero with his dirty mouth and protective persona was my undoing. The heroine, Dylan, gives as good as she gets with smarts, snark, and a strong right hook that had me screaming, “Go girl!” I could instantly feel the deep connection of these characters. Their chemistry blazes and burns, so energizing and enticing, a pulse that pounds the pages. Dylan and Jace possessed every part of me.Author Ashley Jade created my kryptonite: an angst bleeding, heartbreakingly beautiful coming-of-age, second-chance, dark romance that hits the heart and slays the soul. Cruel Prince bravely tackles tough topics like bullying and anxiety, showing the beauty and bravery among the broken, the fierceness among the flaws, and the undying love. I was a goner for this romance that held my racing and breaking heart the whole time reading. Pieces of my heart still sit in this story, the unforgettable kind that you can’t help but forever feel.This is a must-read romance for the survivor of whatever made you stronger, the believer of second chances, and the lover of forever love.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ heart-raging, soul-slaying stars
