Blog Tour & Review: Ruthless Knight (Royal Hearts Academy #2) by Ashley Jade

RUTHLESS KNIGHT (Royal Hearts Academy #2) by Ashley Jade
Release Date: January 23rd

Welcome to their kingdom

Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school.

Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him.

Except me.

His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don't do it for me anymore...because I know what's lurking underneath the star quarterback's gorgeous armor.

At least I thought I did.

Sometimes the most beautiful people...hide the ugliest truths.

And sometimes the only way to save someone...

is to walk beside them through hell.

Sawyer Church is the bible-thumping nerd of Royal Hearts Academy.

Girls pick on her and guys don't notice her.

Except me.

Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she's impossible to ignore.

No matter how much I try.

Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer's real and never pretends to be someone she's not.

Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

Sometimes the most beautiful souls...hide the greatest pain.

And sometimes the only way to save someone...

is to fight for them.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.

This book is utterly brilliant. This book absolutely gutted me. I didn't think that I would be able to love Cole's book as much as I loved Jace's book but I was wrong. While Jace's story is definitely incredible, Cole's story undeniably surpasses it.

We get to know Cole and Sawyer in Cruel Prince but we get to know them so much more intimately in this book. This is their story after all. The way that the author brought both of these characters to life was magical. Their characters were written so realistically. They are both flawed people and I think that really made them feel more real. Both Cole and Sawyer have some legit character development. They both have immense growth. All of the secondary characters are amazing as well. The author creates such wonderful relationships that the reader can feel in their bones.

I loved everything about the romance in this book. It was raw and real and honest. Cole and Sawyer may have their issues but they are hopelessly devoted to each other and it shows. Cole's devotion to Sawyer, after he pulled his head out of his ass, was the most beautiful thing. Reading it will make your heart ache. The way that Sawyer refused to give up on Cole no matter how many times he made mistakes by letting his demons take over was just as intense. The love between these two was a tangible thing. I will ship these two all day long.

I have fallen so in love with Jade's storytelling. It's like she writes just for me. The writing is smooth and just beautiful. Her dialogue is always flawless and fitting. I can't praise her writing style enough.

Jade has constructed such an ingenious plot in this book. Everything connects beautifully within the story. The twists and turns are ones that you won't see coming and they will shock you. You won't be able to get enough of this story. I could not stop flipping the pages on my kindle. I read this book in a single day.

Overall, this book is a masterpiece. It will take you on such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This book digs down deep and is heartwrenching at times. I literally started crying at one point in the book. This book made me feel so much. Prior to reading this, I wasn't entirely as excited about reading Bianca's story as I was to read Jace and Cole's stories. Now I am so eager to read her story. Jade is a masterful writer and I am so excited to follow her on the rest of her author journey. She has definitely locked down a new fangirl with me. Do yourself a favor and pick up this series today.
