Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck. He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the … to end the life he loves.
Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.
Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.
And their deaths.
For most people, death is the end of their story.
For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.
This is book 5 in the KING series and it is highly recomended that you read the previous four books to best enjoy Preppy’s story.

Loved this book! Preppy is probably my favorite out of this series so far! He’s so unique!
This book played with all my emotions. Preppy tugged on my heart. He’s a broken man who struggles with his past. Dre is struggling with her addiction. But together they complete each other. I can’t wait to read what happens next.

Had to stop reading, protagonist made me ill!
One of the most memorial twisted characters in this book series. I highly recommend reading the series in order. Couldn’t stop until I had read the whole series. Dark, Twisted, totally engrossing.
I have LOVED LOVED LOVED every book in this series to date. I cannot praise it highly enough.
Book 5 is a prequel to book 1 (which starts following Kings release from prison). We get to live through Preppys life during the 3 years King is serving time. When he meets Dre (Andrea) who is a Heroin addict visiting her Grandma with a couple of her friends Eric and Connor. Her Grandma is part of the Granny Growhouses. Eric and Connor are caught stealing Preppy’s plants and so he gives chase. He catches Dre about to throw herself off the water tower to end her life and leaps to the rescue and saves her. He is instantly drawn to her, she captivates him but he doesn’t know why.
Preppy is an enigma… we know nothing about him is right. Preppy is Bowties, buttonups, suspenders and pancakes… but you can’t help fall in love with his level of crazy and whacky ways. He had a harrowing childhood and we can an insight into some of the things he endured. This book isn’t as intense as the previous four as I think this one is laying the groundwork for things to come. There are still many unanswered questions and no doubt plenty of secrets and plot twists coming… All roads are leading to Chop!
Together Dre and Preppy are damaged and broken souls… together they fit perfectly. Made for each other. But in usual TM style their road to romance is turbulent.
TM has given us three amazing characters in KING, BEAR and PREPPY, all extremely consuming and complex characters. I can’t get enough of any of them!
I did not care for this book. Sometimes I enjoy an erotic book, however this book did not make the grade.
I love me some Preppy!
I had high expecations for this book and T.m. Frazier just blew them away! Worth more than 5 stars for me! If you loved Preppy in the previous books, you’ll fall in love with him even more! That’s what he has done to me. I loved this book from beginning until end and couldn’t get enough.
You definitely need to read the others first before you read this one. Preppy will leave you breathless!
We see Preppy in a whole new light and come to know more of his past and present. What has made him into the man he is today.
Dre/Doc is a woman so lost that she doesn’t see the light anymore. When she meets Preppy, she is walking into some dangerous grounds but there’s something that attracts her to him.
Will they both walk away unscattered or will they drag each other down…?
At first I had a hard time getting into this book. But honestly I really enjoyed it. Even though Preppy is twisted he’s got a good personality. Funny. Honest. And whom ever you got for the book cover is down right hot!
LOVE THIS WHOLE SERIES – A MUST Read IT IS BRUTAL IN SOME PLACES .. the whole series has some dark Events so be prepared. It’s hard for me to read some things . But the whole story very well delivered. My empathetic bones did cry in parts .
Fantastic & Magically connected characters!!!!
Sizzle & Sing … the blues & the happy dance .
The story line was very good Would like the author to limit the nicknames on her characters. My head was spinning on the names. Too many names were close to each other.
Darker than I normally read but I was sucked in starting with King and had to read the whole series! Just read them again. Flawed characters who operated by their own rules! LOVED!
Love this book that is part of the King Series by this author. Certainly a fan
Hard to follow at times. Too much violence for an older reader like me.
Loved this whole series but Preppy has a special place in my heart!
All the things. Pancakes and bow ties for life.
Loved it. It was different and funny in spots love stiry
Samuel Clearwater Preppy, BAD-ASS MOFO !
I can safely say-
Preppy, The Bow tied, big-dicked, well dressed motherfucker who owns the house, of course.
Is THE BEST character I’ve read in a long long time. He stole my heart in king/Tyrant with Just The Tip. But in this book, the endearing , pancake loving , sharply dressed bearded hunk , simply just pushed his way in my heart and squatted there.
Who knew!
Of this series I think, THIS is the BEST book yet. Bar none !
The writing is exquisite. Like a piece of art, I couldn’t read fast enough or slow enough cause I dreaded finishing it. Adorable with a capital A is Samuel and Andrea “Dre” Capulet’s love story. Or rather , a story about their Love that ended before it started.
But I’ll take my chances because life isn’t always sunshine and whiskey. Nope, more like dark storms and moonshine
Life throws them curveballs and dudballs till they are both ruined by immense Love.
Yes ! Trace has managed to pull a bunny out of the hat simply by giving us a glimpse of Preppy’ Heart.
He is DEFINITELY going to be an IMMORTAL character! !
I’m dying , on my last breath , dying for next book.
Well done . A Huge Huge round of Applause for you Tracey
“He’d said he couldn’t keep me. That didn’t mean I wouldn’t always be his.”
My year was made when TM Frazier announced that Preppy would get his own books. Preppy is one of my all time favorite characters. He is one of the only characters that made me laugh out loud so many times, it was just impossible NOT to fall in love with him in the previous books. I had very high expectations for this book, and I am so glad I wasn’t let down by the author.
In this book we see different sides to Preppy, including the ones we already knew and seen in the previous books. I was glad he was still the Preppy we knew and love but seeing this other side to him made me fall in love with him a second time. He is very loyal and protective but hides a lot of his amazing qualities by being a jerk or funny. But he couldn’t fool or Andrea! Some scenes were heartbreaking but also gave us a great idea of why he is the way he is.
“He was an addiction. I craved him, and I wanted more.”
Before I started this book my main concern was that the lead female character (Andrea) wouldn’t be a good match for Preppy. But I am so glad that that wasn’t the case in this book. I loved Dre so much! She was in my opinion Preppy’s perfect match. She kept up with him and didn’t take shit from him. She saw right through Preppy, and didn’t let him get away with things. I loved seeing their ‘relationship’ grow. The character development for them as a couple and as individuals was phenomenal.
I love this book so much, and I adore Dre and Preppy. This book met all my expectations, and I couldn’t ask for more. It was perfect and the author did an amazing job with this book. Also the ending was perfect and left me satisfied. I was surprised but it was the best ending I could’ve imagined. I can’t wait for part two to release and see what else will happen.
