Welcome to their kingdom....

I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am...back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy.

And forced to face Jace Covington.

My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind.

Only - he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to.

This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants.

They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt.

If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules.

Warning: Royal Hearts Academy is a new adult/high school series of standalones filled with drama, a touch of angst, and boys who are bad to the bone. Contains graphic language and sexual content. Recommended for mature listeners.

For the amount of shit that Jace puts Dylan through there needed to be a whole hella of a lot more groveling. That was my biggest pet peeve for the book.
Performance was good, story keeps you interested. Loved the side characters, mainly Sawyer and Oakley. And I would have liked Dylan to have been a bit stronger, it was hard watching her continuously being beaten down without much pushback.

Not enough groveling!

I began this series thinking that it was just going to be another typical saga of a teenage group of friends but I was dead wrong. It was captivating and detailed and so easy to relate to as far as relationship troubles as a teen moving into adult life. The story flowed well and had all of my favorite things such as passionate romance all the way down to your typical hard ships. I enjoyed every second of this one and cannot wait to read the next! I will definitely be adding this one to favorites to come back to some time! If you love drama and romance, this is your next read!!

Ashley Jade is an emotional writer. Whatever she writes is always sure to pull at your heartstrings. When she teams up with Teddy Hamilton? The combination is a very satisfying ride.

The positives of this book?

It’s another bully book BUT - nowhere near the level of bullying the craze is pushing out. It’s tastefully done for the most part.

I thought the ending and why the heroine and hero were at odds wasn’t that strong... but it was done well enough.

I don’t think this book is a 5 star like her previous series (Complicated Hearts, Blame It on the Shame, and Devil’s Advocate) - but it’s still a 4 star read and listen.

You just can’t go wrong with an Ashley Jade book.

Polished and Entertaining

I absolutely adore this book! It was a roller coaster of emotions, but I definitely laughed out loud at some of the banter in this book! But Ashley Jade/A. Jade does not write a bad book, and I must say these narrators were perfect to bring this book to my ears. I can’t wait to move on in the series! I have already purchased the second!

All of the emotions!

I rarely write reviews and I went into this book mostly blind but it legit made me cry like a little girl and it also made me laugh quite a few times but I would really recommend this book :,)

I’m always on the lookout for a bully type romance book with a darker theme, like “Fear Me” (series) by BB Reid and “Bully” by Penelope Ward and the summary of this one was similar.
This book is similar but perhaps not quite as good as first books in above series. The narration was excellent, the story was good, good enough I listened in one day!!! Now the reason my rating is 5⭐️narration and 4⭐️story is because it felt the characters weren’t as developed or detailed as in other stories. I was left wanting to know more about several situations and traumatic events. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t good, it was and I recommend you download today!!! It was a star away (for me) from being at top of my list in this genre❌⭕️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It could also be that we didn’t get to experience how the two main protagonists navigated their relationship once together... a lot of push and pull and I personally felt she (Dylan) let Jace off way too easy in the end. Still loved it and would purchase any follow up books for sure! Jace was def hot, with a no apology bad boy attitude!

A Cruel Prince indeed...!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Felt like the characters reactions to each other were far fetched like that would never actually happen. Not a fan of the male narrator. Predictable.

Not that good
