Renee’s Five Star Review:
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
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 best 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.
Welcome to Cruel Prince and the first book in the Royal Hearts Academy Series. This series is a group of standalone books. There are no cliffhangers and waiting on another book to come out to continue the story in this series.
I was so excited to get this book in my hands. If you are expecting a young adult book then you are in for a surprise. The characters might be younger but they sure don’t tell a young adult story and they sure do have some mature themes going on in this book. This is the story of Jace well I guess really it is Jace and Dylan’s story. They use to be best friends four years ago. However once something tragic happens everything changes in huge ways and things are never the same. Dylan is taken away by her family and she doesn’t set a foot back into town for four years when she has to live with her Aunt and Uncle. They insist that she goes to Royal Hearts Academy and she is really looking forward to seeing her best friend Jace again. However she is not prepared for all the hate she sees staring a back at her the first time she sees him. The only choice she has is to find out what has happened to the boy she once and still loves. You are going to love this book. I am not even sure that I took a breath while reading it. I loved to hate Jace but he does have these totally redeeming qualities about him and I simply adored Dylan. This is a book that you do not want to miss. It is a complete story as I said before but I still can not wait for the next book in this series. Ashley Jade really knows how to suck you into a story. Oh and I forgot to mention, I am not one to highlight while I am reading but I can tell you that my copy looks like I had a highlighter party on the pages. DO NOT miss this one. You guys are going to love it as much as I did.
Blurb: 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.
This series is recommended for mature readers due to graphic language and sexual content.
Excerpt: “Is that why you wore this sexy little shirt tonight?” His warm breath tickles the side of my neck. “Hoping to get my attention.”
“No.”
That earns me a husky chuckle. “Too bad.” He presses his lips against my throat. “Because it’s working. You have all my attention.” He walks his fingers down my torso. “Question is…what are you going to do with it?”
About the Author: Ashley Jade loves to tackle different genres and tropes within romance. Her first loves are New Adult Romance and Romantic Suspense, but she also writes everything in between including: contemporary romance, erotica, and dark romance.

It was the best decision she ever made.
