This book was so good, why did I wait so long to read it?! Without question it's one of the best dark romances I've read and made me immediately want to go and read everything Demi Vice has written. I was so upset to only find one other book, but you can absolutely bet I'm going to read Ceifador X and whatever else comes next in this series! I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. I absolutely recommend it to any dark romance readers! And now I'm going to make a grilled cheese, because how can I not after reading this book? 😂

Was this a full bushel of bananas? Yes. Did I enjoy every single delicious banana? Absolutely.

I read a fair amount of dark romance. This was an interesting book in many ways. As far as dark romance goes, it definitely ticked most of the boxes - violence, tortured pasts, revenge. Jack was a bit ....much for me at first but he did grow on me and I was happy that he got his HEA in the end.

If you like instalove dark romance with sex that is definitely on the raunchier side, you might like this.

(I wasn’t a huge fan of the supremely unsafe sex in this book, namely having sex without protection with a person you literally met 5 minutes prior. It’s not the sex itself that bothered me, but the lack of ANY mention of condoms. But that might not bother you as much as it bothered me.)

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. All opinions are my own.

Very intriguing read. Enjoyed the chemistry between the characters. Their romance is one that kept me on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

I’m the Jackpot of all Men.
The Jackhammer of all F*cks.
The Jack of all Trades.
If you haven’t guessed it yet, the name’s Jack. For the last seven years, I gave up my freedom for a crime I didn’t commit, and all for money, my retirement, and my dreams.
When it was time to leave, my cellmate asked me for a favor. Find his sister, give her a letter, and leave. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Nothing about Ahri was easy. She was a stubborn beauty, an intoxicating mystery, and a feisty fury. She was nowhere near perfect, but perfection was overrated, and Ahrianna Lore was underrated.
I went along with the lie of who she thought I was—just some guy looking at the apartment next door. It was supposed to be a quick hookup, but curiosity got the best of me.
I read the letter.
Have you ever heard the story about the Jack of Hearts whose heart was stolen by a beautiful thief?
The Jack’s Heart is a complete standalone and a part of the Prison Saints series.
The Jack’s Heart is a dark romance with no cliff-hanger and a guaranteed HEA. This book contains steamy and graphic material that might be offensive for some.

In the beginnig I was little sceptical about the read, but as the story progressed I really liked it. Overall, it was a good read!

Oh, wow what a great read was that. We don't see many stories when the main characters are actually antiheroes but in this book that past soo goood and makes this book great. Jack and Ahri are both strong characters whit whom life was not easy or generous. They have some heavy connection and their chemistry is burning hot. I liked their story and HEA.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

This is my first book from Ms. Vice, and I can not wait to read more! Jack has spent the last 7 years in jail for a crime that he didn't commit. Ahri is busy working 2 jobs, taking online courses, and trying to keep under the radar. When Jack and Ahri meet, there is instant animalistic chemistry. Jack is dark, moody, and handsome while Ahri is light, colorful, and lively. While they both have dark skeletons in their closets, and they both come from broken homes. Will they allow their past and their secrets to keep them apart or will they learn to trust each other and themselves. The sexual chemistry between Jack and Ahri is intense and hardcore. It can be sweet at times, but it's almost always raw and demanding. I loved how Ms. Vice gave us the background to both Jack and Ahri, but she also intertwined their lives. I found myself rooting for Jack and Ahri while wanting to seriously hurt other characters in the book. The characters were well-rounded and full of multiple layers. The plot was engaging and kept me guessing what will happen next. I loved The Jack's Heart, and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Thank you NetGalley and Ms. Vice for the e-ARC. This was my honest opinion.

Thank you netgalley for the digital ARC of this great book. Ok i will admit i was bothered at the start of the book when two random people have unprotected sex hours after meeting but as the story went on i rooted for them as a couple. Two hearts that find their other/better half, similar experiences..i know from experience those are the best kinds of love. I hope to get more from this author. Kudos on the sex and the humor! I laughed a lot! I am the queen of one liners so this was right up my alley!

I really enjoyed this dark and suspenseful book!! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Jack is the entire reason this book is 5 stars. It's like the author took a look inside my head and found the perfect alpha a-hole and wrote him in a book. He was incredible. I loved his and Ari chemistry. Parts of the book were rough, I think a content editor could help with the flow but I will definitely read more front this author.

*****5 Jack Stars*****
This is my first by Demi Vice and I can’t wait to get more. Jack is cocky, sarcastic, confident, funny and hot. Ahri has been through hell and back several times. Ahri struggling to make rent every month, she is alone broke, and working two jobs and still can barely keep her head above water. But Ahri is determined to build a name for herself and try to keep running from her demons. Jack has just been released from a seven year sentence for a crime he didn't commit but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had a history of committing crimes. Jack he played the game with a wealthy benefactor and now he is living the dream. Jack finally free and rich I mean rich and can do whatever he wants. This book is amazing flows so well and written well I can’t wait to read more in this series.

*****ARC from Net Galley for review*****

This was a bit unique to me. A bit different from what I usually read. What he get in the beginning is not necessarily what is.
We meet Jack in prison. Instantly you think he is bad. But is he??? Then you meet Ahri when jack goes to her to give her a letter her brother wrote and asked to be delivered. Jack reads it - of course he does. Its cryptic and it adds to the uniqueness of this woman he is now interested in. (Even though he thinks its only since he hasn't been with a woman in years.)
I do recommend this one!

The Jack's Heart by Demi Vice is the First book in the Prison Saints Series. This is the story of Jack and Ahri.
Jack served time for something he didn't do but was given money for his time that he served. When he is getting ready to get out his cell mate who he been with for a while asked that he deliver a letter for him. This leads Jack to meet Ahri where he ends up going along with a misunderstanding because he is so taken with Ahri. Ahri has her own secrets but she is trying to hold down two jobs and school so she stays busy. But each can't run from the sparks they are feeling.
Enjoyed their story.

Honest review given with no compensation.

Jack and Ahri have a HOT relationship. This book is a great story of starting at the bottom and moving up but at the hand of others. Jack was great for Ahri even with his prison record and horrid past. Ahri was scared to trust since life had kicked her in the teeth too many times. This story is great and I fell in love with Demi Vice's work with this story.

The book opens with Jack Barron getting ready to be paroled his cellmate for the last few years tells him a story and then asks for him to deliver a letter to the person use name is on the front. Jack who went to prison for a crime he did not commit is expecting certain items to be met as soon as he is paroled and the first of those arrives immediately. He is a cocky man but in some ways, you have to be coming from where he was. Arriving a few days later looking for Ahri the name on the envelope. She is a woman that has done things to make it live and only worries about herself and a few friends, very few. She has her secrets as well. Directed to where she is she thinks he is the person arriving to be the roommate she was looking for. He listens to her spiel and they go look at the apartment and also look at each other in a more comfortable position without any cloths. Afterward, she goes to work and tells him in the morning that he will need to pass the inspection of the owner downstairs who runs the bakery. What she did not know was that one of his foster homes the woman spoke Polish and so he spoke there language and would also buy them a new industrial mixer. This is the way it goes, for the most part, he would come and go not telling her he had a penthouse. It was after he needed to give her the letter, teller her that her brother was his celli, and why he did not give it to her the first day. There are other things that need to be worked out also. But this is a story that will keep you entertained from the first page until the last, a very good book with excellent characters.

I liked this book but I didn't love it. It was good but seemed a little choppy at times. It seemed to me that it needed a few more edits or a couple more comb throughs.

Sadly this wasn't for me. The sex scenes were just cringe worthy which put me off the book. Not my cup of tea

You don't know Jack. Jack is mysterious. Jack of All Trades. Jack has many names, many past jobs, and many past lives. His current focus is retirement and all it has to offer. His little deal with the devil has earned him unimaginable wealth, now what to do?

A prison promise is all it takes to change the course of his life and all those who are dear. Jack is my kind of man. He's everything you want...
Protective
Caring
A beast in bed
Loyal
Sexy AF
Willing to do anything for those he loves.

What's not to fall for?

Prison Saints has my attention and I am waiting. I just hope that Demi Vice doesn't make us wait 7 years.

What I didn't like at first was the sex in it and that it just slaps you in the face. However, then the story starts going and it was actually good. If this book is a first for the author, she did a really good job and I want to read another. This had heart and sexiness and an all-around good storyline. I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect at first. Raw, gritty, and so intense. I absolutely loved this!
This story sucked me right in with Jack’s cocky personality.
Loved the two main characters. They both have dark pasts and terrible childhoods but they find each other and that’s just what they need.
I'm looking forward to where this series will go!
