This is such a dark, twisted storyline with a plot full of twists and turns. Scenarios being played out with such unbelievably cruel intentions leaving the reader to wonder what the actual truth is. Congratulations to Stella Hart on creating an upper echelon so cruel and secretive with characters that blend so seamlessly within the storyline they will keep you rivetted. This book ends with a MAJOR cliffhanger leaving you on pins and needles. I can’t wait to see where this is going and how it ends.
Loved how dark, alpha, cocky, domineering and sexy Logan is. That was an intense, twisted roller coaster of a ride. You won’t be able to put it down or stop reading. There is a cliffhanger so be aware.
Tatum becomes embroiled in a twisted secret society, where there is little to no hope of escape. It’s steamy, with dub/non-con, yet we can’t begin to see the depths of their depravity. Elias and his sick games…I went back and forth as to whether he was a good guy or bad, but in the end we’re thrown a couple of twists that ramp up the stakes and keep you guessing even more. I’m dying to find out what happens next though!
Pussnbooks.net Reviewing the darkest erotic books we can find.
This is the first book I’ve read by Stella Hart and it was quite good. I mean it wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad either.
Tatum is in her first year of an extremely swanky college. One that she got a full scholarship to.
She and her family have always struggled financially and so this was a major boon.
Although most of the people there are extremely rich and snooty she has made a few good friends. There is however a real nasty piece of work that just keeps glaring at her and being rude whenever he sees her. Elias King.
Tatum starts looking into a local urban legend of a secret society for a paper she has to write and this is where the action begins.
Missing people, wealthy men, mysterious gatherings and kinky sex, ensues.
Pretty soon Tatum is in way over her head and has no idea of the depths of some peoples depravity.
TATUM – Tatum is quite a plain almost boring girl. She is fairly innocent and quite naive. She’s never been kissed, let alone had sex and every date she’s been on since starting college has ended in silence.
Her home life was nothing special, quite plain too really. Her parents argued mostly about money and she once overheard them saying they should never have had a child.
I liked that at the beginning you read straight into a scene in the middle of the story. Tatum is already a prisoner and is confused about where she is and why, so immediately you know some s**t’s gonna go down.
I didn’t really think too much of her to begin with. In fact, she kinda got on ma nerves a bit. Just way too docile and weak. Her reactions to situations and people seemed to me to be just a little unrealistic.
Moments where you would expect a person to react with shock and rage, she would react almost muted. I dunno, it was kind of like a lack of personality.
However! Towards the end, she really started to come out. We eventually see her rage and fire when she snapped. I have to be honest, I LOVED her rage. I was like FINALLY!
ELIAS – Elias is a little more interesting. He is handsome, (of course) filthy rich and broody. He hates Tatum right from the beginning and you’re left wondering why…and then it starts to make sense about halfway through.
He has a taste for the dark and twisted side of life and feels like he is entitled to whatever he wants and that includes Tatum. As his father is the president of the Crown and Dagger society, he gets exactly what he desires.
I like that you get to see things from his POV and get a glimpse into his mind.
So, yeah. He’s a bit of a d**k but is everything as it seems or is there more going on behind the scenes?
I will say though that as much as he’s a hottie in my mind, I’m not really drawn to him. Like, I’m not desperate for more of his body and mind. Yet. I think that might change in the next book. I hope so.
SEX SCENES – Okay there were a few steamy scenes for sure but no quite as much sex as you usually see in these books. But you know what? It was perfect. I wasn’t overdone, nor was it lacking. The scenes were good but not knickers wetting good, ya feel me?
FINAL THOUGHTS – The further into the book I got, the more I enjoyed it. Yes, some of the reactions were off but the story pulls you in anyway. And I need answers now, so yup, I’m gonna read the next book.
3 STARS!
OMG what a wonderful read!! I loved this book, it has lots of twists and turns in it and I ended up feeling bad for Elias (the bad guy)! Everyone is playing everyone! There is only a couple of short steamy scenes in this book, but it is dark and intense! I can not wait for the next book, there is a cliffhanger so be prepared to have questions when the book ends. I stayed up all night to read this as I couldn’t put it down and had to know what happened next!

Heartless Prince is a dark, twisted read full of mystery, suspense, betrayal, secrets and twists that had me on the edge of my seat. If you have read the prequel Wild Elite then you know Tatum was kidnapped for Elias. In this book we find out more about why he wants to punish her but he is attracted to her at the same time. Great writing, intriguing characters and a cliffhanger ending that left me wanting the next book gives this 5 stars.
Heartless Prince enraptured me and kept me captive
Heartless Prince enraptured me and kept me captive in this dark world of fear, pain and intricate web of lies. This book is raw and dark, there are no light moments in this story. Everything is bathed in pain, guilt and fear, hatred and vengeance. Story line is full of mystery, suspense and some really twisted moments. I wasn’t sure what I could expect to happen on next pages and that just kept me turning pages.
I felt instant connection with heroine. Maybe she is naive or maybe she is just normal person who doesn’t think everything that happens to her is conspiracy. She is betrayed by the people who should love her unconditionally, she learns her lessons in the most cruel way. Consumed by guilt, fear, insecurities she is fighting with her own mind, her feelings. She is trying hard to stay sane but someone wants to destroy her and her fragile connection with Elias by spreading lies that shatter last rays hope.
I can’t wait for the next part of the series to be available, I’m so curious what will happen next and I’m sure there is still more to come. This was fantastic read and if you want to know if Elias is really heartless you just need to read this one to find out yourself.
Be sure to read the prequel called Wild Elite first. It lays out a good foundation for this series.
This Heartless Prince may or may not be so heartless.
Cliffhanger alert, if you are not a fan of them be warned this book ends in a breath stealing cliffhanger. This is book one in this devilishly dark twisted series. Elias King is richer than God and believes he can do no wrong. Tatum is just a middle class girl who got a scholarship to a very prestigious college. Little does Tatum know that sinister plans have been set in motion for her future for well over a year and she won’t come out of this unscathed. Elias wants to make Tatum pay for something he believes she did in the past, but does he have all the facts or is he being played by the very society he has pledged his life and loyalty to? It will take everything in Tatum to survive her ordeal and keep her sanity. Things are heating up and I am looking forward to book two in this series called Vicious King. Definitely a wonderful dark twisted book and I’d recommend to all the dark romance lovers out there.
This is the first book in a new series from this talented author. Elias is part of the crown and dagger secret club, and Tatum has been on their radar for a while. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story, which is intense, steamy, and filled with drama and suspense. This does end in a cliffy, so therefore, not a standalone. I look forward to reading more in this amazing series, and recommend this author for all.

Following on from the prequel this book doesn’t disappoint its dark and sexy bringing forth a scary sadistic element to the story.
Tatum travels down a dark and dangerous path unknown she is being led the whole way.
Everyone she thinks she can trust could be against her.
Elias wants her but also wants to destroy her for the wrongs of her past but with a true puppet master at work will the truth ever come to the surface?.
Amazing author loved this book and the prequel i can’t wait for more.
Fascinating but hard to read
I loved this romance, but it is very dark, full of manipulation, abuse in a secret society. This first opus is difficult to read as the heroine suffers, unable to be supported and each attempt leads to more suffering … and yet it remains a romance.
Tatum is in college looking for a story about the secret society “Crown and dagger”, but she finds herself kidnapped and locked up by vengeance. The versions are opposed between what she is certain of never having committed and what Elias, the man to whom she is destined by the president of the secret society blames her. He wants her to suffer for what she would have done, except that it is not the truth.
I can not wait to read how Elias will react and how Tatum will be able to escape or survive.
