Ruthless Knight by A. JadeMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Ruthless Knight is the second book in the Royal Hearts Academy series by Ashley Jade. This is a fast paced, heart-wrenching, steamy tale where we see the characters Cole Covington and Sawyer Church come together. Cole Covington is not who he seems. Football player, brother…fraud, at least that’s how he comes across with his flirty smiles, good looks and charm but not everything is what it seems in Cole’s world and he is barely holding it together. Sawyer Church is also an enigma. The girl no one looks at twice because she is overweight, religious and a nice girl, but hidden beneath the exterior is a young woman just trying to hold it all together and now she is starting to crack. What happens when two broken people come together? Well, you’re about to find out!
This book is one that you can’t put down as it just entrances you from the moment you start reading it. Cole and Sawyer’s relationship is intriguing as they are neither friends nor enemies but just seem to have a connection that neither of them seems to understand. Although at times, there is a lot cruelty from Cole who on one side is trying to protect Sawyer, but on the other picks at her like a sab and watches her bleed.
This book really delves into the psyche of these two characters and why they are the way they are. There are also times when other characters are interacting with them that you are kind of flabbergasted that people think/act/do things like that! Both of their stories are heart-breaking in their intensity and leave you slightly flabbergasted that people actually go through things like that.
I loved how sassy Sawyer was but at the same time really sad that society and pressure made her the way she was (totally heart-breaking) as well as the guilt that seems to just explode out of Cole! (I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, so you’ll just have to read the book)
You will need to have read book one so that you understand other characters and what’s going on with them,. But, if you’re not readying Ashley jade, then you’re totally missing out. Angst, suspense, sarcasm, steamy scenes are just the tip of the iceberg of this book. A definite 2020 must read!
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review 😊
