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.

My Review:

Not having read any other books by Jillian Frost before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Cruel Princes. Needless to say, the intriguing synopsis and eye-catching cover drew me in right away. The story begins by introducing Alexandrea Wellington whose life has been changed once again after her grandfather takes her and her brother into his care. He has been able to give them opportunities to start a new life at a price and Alex is not ready to give up her freedom all to marry a Salvatore. She grew up feeling tormented and now the four Salvatore brothers are ready to make her life miserable until the time comes when she has to pick a brother to marry. It would take years later for them to see each other again and this time there is no going back. What surprises Alex the most is to feel attracted to all four Salvatore brothers no matter how cruel they can be. As the only female of marrying age from The Founding Society, she needs to marry a Salvatore, those who are in charge of the Knights in order to ensure their family legacy. With time running out, it’s critical for Alex to accept her destiny until secrets start to resurface and feelings start to grow for those that she didn’t think possible.

I very much liked the overall concept of the story, although it was a bit confusing at the beginning, the story quickly had me hooked. We have Alexandrea “Alex” trying to accept her destiny by getting to know the Salvatore brothers and realizes that they might just have a lot more in common than she thought. It’s evident that all the brothers have a lot to gain by marrying Alex, but it’s only two that need it the most. The Salvatore name carries a lot of power in Devil’s Creek and it’s through their different POVs that we get to understand each of the bothers and their motives. As Alex gets to know them, their chemistry grows and it just keeps getting steamier. There is still a lot that we don’t know and that’s exactly how the book ends, with a cliffhanger leaving you wanting for more. There is so much that happens in this first book as we get familiar with their world and I cannot wait to read what happens next. I would highly recommend it if you love dark romances with a twist. :)
