A nice book to read. The story takes place in your heart. It lessons you that after suffering from pain you will get happiness.

The story is about a couple who were best friends once, but due to massive misunderstandings and secrets between them they lost each other. Not only our hero lost his best friend and love of his life but also his brother. Things start to take a ugly turn from then. Now our heroine is back in the town again due to her will and she needs to survive the years of wrath of our heroine who still loves her with all his heart.It’s an emotional + bully romance. We see lot of scenes in which one emotions is described in a fantastic manner.

It’s an ok book..way too lengthy without any reason and it doesn’t have any “cruel” factor in the cruel prince

My Rating: 🌟🌟3/4Type: Can be read as StandaloneGenre: Contemporary Fiction Romance, YA, High school BullyPrimary Characters: Dylan and JaceNarration: Dual POVI read reviews on this book from several fellow bookstagrames . I was intrigued after that. Somehow it didn’t leave up to my expectation. Story was very predictable; I was sort of bored after some point. Ex childhood best friends turned enemies because of miscommunication and tragedy seemed interesting but drama was too much for me.As blurb says Dylan is back in Royal Hearts Academy after four years. For reasons unknown to her, her childhood best friend Jace and his family hates hers now. Jace not only doesn’t like Dylan, he’s down right cruel to her. I could understand with time why he was so hurt and even though I hate that miscommunication thing that always happens, I can understand more with this situation. The best part of the book is, it toggles between past and present which gives more info at right times.Plot become very much predictive. Character development in past is good, but it wasnt up to the present not so good. Dylan is strong and feisty and pushes back Jace, yet it wasn’t sufficient. I didn't like Jace. I just couldn’t connect with him. I didn't get attached to the characters, the bully wasn't all that bully, it was more like a drama. Writing style is ok. Cole, Sawyer and Oakley were intriguing but not enough for me to pick up next book in series.Overall, it was disappointing to me. Read for yourself and let me know your view on this.

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!

I don't know why it took me so long to read this book, considering I love Ashley Jade!I absolutely loved this book, this story, and everyone involved.I did feel there was a bit of unresolved things. However, they weren't vital to the love story.The strength of Dylan is amazingly written and felt throughout the book.Jace's struggles are also beautifully written.Loved it and the side characters we perfect!I am looking forward to the rest of the books.

A Dylan é uma garota forte que passa por sérios problemas familiares e retorna a cidade natal após uma ausência de 4 anos. Ela acha que reencontrará o amigo Jace, mas ele só tem ódio por ela e quer vingança. Ela só quer entender porque seu ex melhor amigo e amor mudou tanto.Da vontade de dar uns tapas no Jace mas ele tira a cabeça de dentro da banda e evolui.
