The bow tie is\u00a0BACK!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dre was just a beautiful stranger when Preppy saved her the first time around. Now, he has to save her again, but she\u2019s no longer some stranger, she\u2019s family, and he has no idea who or what he\u2019s up against.<\/p>\n

What he does know is that putting his family back together is the only acceptable outcome.<\/p>\n

Preppy\u2019s to-do list?
\nSAVE FAMILY. SEEK REVENGE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s alive\u2026and he\u2019s out for\u00a0BLOOD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preppy Part Three is the third book and conclusion of Preppy and Dre\u2019s story. It\u2019s also the 7th book in the King Series, which should be read in order starting with KING<\/a><\/em> & TYRANT<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not always about who you\u2019d die for. Sometimes it\u2019s about who you\u2019d kill for. Other times, it\u2019s only about who you\u2019d live for.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fantastic! 5 mother-effin\u2019 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved this book! It\u2019s a celebration of all that is Samuel Clearwater, and this book is pure, 100% Preppy (which is why it has to be 5 stars). The good, the bad, the irreverently hilarious, the badass, the romantic, the hero, the villain and the friend. What a truly unforgettable character!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should know by now, Doc, that even death can\u2019t keep a motherfucker down,\u201d preppy said with a devilish smile.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book picks up immediately from where Preppy: Part Two finishes off, with Preppy determined to protect his family from unexpected and unseen danger. He\u2019s so close to getting his happy ending, he just needs to save his girl, figure out where the threat is coming from, eliminate it and protect his family once and for all. And I loved watching it all play out!<\/p>\n

Preppy and Dre\u2019s strength is proven over and over again, and together they are a powerhouse. Committed and completely functional (in their own way), I loved the no-nonsense way they dealt with everything that came their way. Their passion for each other is hotter than ever, and I felt every bit of the intensity between them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re never leaving me. Say it. You\u2019re never fucking leaving me,\u201d Preppy ground out.
\nI wanted to say the words back, but I was literally being fucked senseless. I began to see stars. Brief flashes of white light as he fucked the words into my heart\u2026
\nPassionate. Relentless. Rough. Frenzied.
\nWe were all of that and more.
\nSo much more.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I loved seeing how in love with each other they are and how unafraid they are to show it. The declarations are absolutely gorgeous and as raw and gritty as this book is, it still totally made me swoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamuel Clearwater, I promise I\u2019ll never leave you,\u201d I whispered, my voice as shaky as my limbs. \u201cI love you.\u201d
\nPreppy closed his eyes. A lazy, satisfied smile appeared on his face. He dropped his head back onto my chest. \u201cLove doesn\u2019t even begin to cover it, Doc.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s not as much actual storyline<\/i> as I was expecting, instead we get an in-depth look at the lives of Preppy and Dre as they find their happy ending. Don\u2019t get me wrong, there are things going on, and the story threads from the previous books are continued, but it\u2019s more of a \u2018settled\u2019 book. Preppy and Dre are together, happy and totally loved up, and it\u2019s mostly tying up loose ends – with a bit of violence and suspense thrown in – rather than a complete new story. Personally, I really appreciated that. SO much has gone on in this series, particularly for these two characters, and though there is still some danger for them to deal with, I was really happy to see each and every moment of them finally getting their HEA.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sweet, funny, romantic and sexy, and it\u2019s also all kinds of dirty, violent and gritty, and the blend of all of that is just perfection! From the deep, meaningful and profound\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a man who knows it\u2019s time to stop running away and start running toward and I\u2019m choosing to run to you, Doc. Forever.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

To the everyday awesomeness of Preppy just being Preppy\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cUmmm\u2026what the hell is that?\u201d Kevin asked, looking at the table in the trailer.
\n\u201cManure,\u201d I answered.
\n\u201cReally?\u201d
\n\u201cNo. Not really,\u201d I sighed. \u201cIt\u2019s a body-shaped plastic bag, Kevin. What the fuck do you think it is?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, of course, as much as this is a love story, it\u2019s also a story of friendship and family. I loved seeing the newer additions to the series and how effortlessly they fit in, and there\u2019s a really nice amount of time with King, Bear and Prep, and I just loved seeing the three boys together. As close family, there is nothing they wouldn\u2019t do for each other, and together they are something truly special.<\/p>\n

The saying that blood was thicker than water didn\u2019t mean jack shit to me because I knew who my family was and blood was something we spilled for one another, not shared.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I loved this book, I loved Preppy\u2019s story, and I loved this series. I\u2019m not ready to say goodbye to these characters, but this was the perfect send off, and I know that these books are ones that I will reread over and over again.<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Kevin had occasionally done something that reminded me of myself, but next to a DNA test, I still had no valid proof he was my brother. Nothing that connected us as family.<\/p>\n

Until now.<\/p>\n

\u201cDude, you\u2019re creeping me out,\u201d Kevin said, reaching for his shorts.<\/p>\n

Before he could pull them back on I dropped the hose and bee-lined toward him, wrapping him in a bear hug. \u201cYou really are my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh?\u201d Kevin asked, standing as still as a statue.<\/p>\n

\u201cShhhh\u2026just let me love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat exactly is going on out here?\u201d Dre asked from the porch, flipping on the light. I still didn\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s my brother. I\u2019m sure of it now,\u201d I informed her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what\u2019s going on,\u201d Kevin said, wiggling free from my grip.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah?\u201d Dre asked, amusement in her sleepy tone. She yawned and cinched the sash of the sexy little robe she was wearing that showed off those amazing legs of hers. \u201cHow are you so sure?\u201d<\/p>\n

I stepped back and pointed down to Kevin\u2019s massive cock. \u201cBecause of that!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dre\u2019s sweet laughter filled the air. I picked up the hose again and started to spray Kevin down. \u201cShit man, that\u2019s cold!\u201d he shouted, dancing around in the grass. \u201cAnd are you gonna fill me in on what exactly she\u2019s laughing at?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat,\u201d I informed him, spraying his crotch with water. \u201cBecause I just found more proof that we\u2019re brothers than the fact that we think we both were shot out of the same cunt.\u201d I grinned from ear to ear.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay? And what\u2019s that?\u201d Kevin asked. I turned off the hose and Dre tossed him a towel.<\/p>\n

I dropped my eyes to the huge slab of man meat between Kevin\u2019s legs. \u201cFrom the waist down we\u2019re not just brothers, we\u2019re fucking twinsies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, what the fuck, Preppy?\u201d Kevin asked, putting his shorts back on.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuick,\u201d I said. \u201cTell me something. How do you feel about pancakes?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin shivered. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m more of a waffle kind of guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dre gasped.<\/p>\n

I shut my eyes tightly, clenching my fists at my side. I cracked my neck and slowly turned to face him. I opened my eyes. \u201cWhat the fuck did you just say to me, boy? You better start running.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWait, what?\u201d Kevin asked, taking a step back and tripping over the sprinkler. He stood up and bolted through the gate. I chased him through the field while Dre looked on and laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take it all back! You\u2019re not my brother!\u201d I shouted, tackling him to the ground and sitting on his chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the fuck, Preppy?\u201d Kevin asked, squirming under me.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou and I need to have a serious fucking talk.\u201d I leaned down until my nose was almost touching his. \u201cAbout the abomination that is waffles<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
