BOOKWORM REVIEW: Cruel Princes by Jillian Frost


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This book is not for the faint of heart. It was a crazy wild ride that will have you jumping off the fictional cliff with your eyes wide open, because you just cannot look away.

Alexandrea Wellington has been claimed by her cruel Salvatore princes. She has managed to get a reprieve when she went to college in New York, but now they want her back with some urgency that they refuse to disclose to her. She has no choice but to comply to keep her twin brother Aiden safe and to make good on her grandfather's deal with the Salvatores.

The deal was to marry one of them, but just as she finds the men attractive, they each have a characteristic trait (or two) that keeps her from wanting to say "I do."

I was scared about the bully aspect of this read, and the prologue and the first couple of chapters did not exactly help my wariness. However, I am glad I stuck with the book. There are more layers to the big bad Salvatores than meets the eye, and we get to discover that character development along with Alex.

Luca is clearly the Salvatore heir apparent to their throne overseeing a secret society, and while he may be considered as the golden child, being next in line holds certain crosses that he has to bear on his own. He keeps the most distance from Alex because he fears emotion and can sense early on that Alex might be capable of drawing it out of him.

Marcello is probably the one closest and most sympathetic to Alex, but as the head of security for Salvatore Global, he has been forced to build a wall around his heart and be at the family's beck and call. 

Bastian is almost like Marcello to Alex, but his burden to carry is being a constant companion to Damian, keeping his brother's demons in check.

And poor, poor Damian. A monster who never got the love he needed to keep his illness in check. None of his brothers really trust him, especially with Alex.

But we soon discover that while they think they hold power over Alex, it is she that is their ultimate weakness. 

This book kicks off a trilogy and obviously ends in a cliffhanger, but the journey from start to ending is worth it. Like I said, this is not for the faint of heart as it is a dark romance (please check out the warnings), but if that is your jam, this will be a great read for you.

ABOUT THE BOOK

I hate the princes of Devil’s Creek.

Luca, Bastian, Marcello, and Damian.

For most of my life, no one wanted me… not until they needed me. Turns out I’m the lost heiress to a multi-billion dollar fortune and a pawn in their sick game.

They keep me locked in their seaside estate, completely at their mercy. All four of them are bullies, taking out their hatred for me in the form of punishments, each with their own reason for keeping me around.

I’m sick to want them.
It’s dangerous to need them.

I think I’m finding my place among these depraved monsters.

Except there’s one small problem.
They’re not the only men who want me.

There are far more dangerous men looking for the heir to the Wellington fortune… which means I’ll be staying in their beds and under their protection for the foreseeable future.

Cruel Princes is a DARK BULLY romance about four possessive men and one ruthless woman who will bring them to their knees. The main character will end up with more than one love interest.
