PREPPY
Obviously you must read part one before you read this one. If you thought part one was intense, it does not even hold a flame to this. Preppy is become my second favorite. You will breeze through this because you can not put it down.

Hills and valleys
At first I was wondering why there are three parts to Preppy’s story. It’s because there are so many hills and valleys. So many trials. I’ve loved reading all about Preppy.

Wow!
This is a great continuation to this series. I fall in love with these characters more and more with each book. Preppy, as twisted as he may be is a character like no other. You can't help but fall in love with him. And Dre is the perfect counterpart to him. The thing I love the most about this series is the strong family theme. May these characters live forever. I can't wait for book three.

Ladies and Gentleman! He's back...
“This wasn’t going to be some sort of warm and fuzzy reunion.
No, it was a fucking relapse.”
The pace of the story slowed down, which was understandable - there is so much for Preppy to process, aknowledge and take terms with.
I liked it but I'm not all over the moon about it.
Except for - that part!!!! And because of it, here's me waiting for Part Three

HOLY SMOKES!! Yes, the Evil Ginger strikes again and in such an amazing way. As you read in the first book, you got the feel of how Dre and Preppy got together plus what happened to him. In this book, you see him struggle with being alive both literally and figuratively. After that jaw dropping ending in part one, this book you get the feel for how not just Preppy and Dre are handling everything but also everyone else.
There are a lot of interesting twists and turns involved with this story. Some very unexpected and shocking but some that are just wow. I was totally engrossed in every page of this one as I am always with Frazier’s work. The passion between both Preppy and Dre has not lessened at all either which I LOOOOVE! And that ending!! OMG!! I cannot wait to see what is coming up in part three! I swear I am going to cry when this one is over!!

5 YOU FOUND ME CROWNS
T.M. Frazier has once again created a story that has absolutely ripped me to shreds. My heart ached and my soul was wounded as I saw one of my favorite characters EVER struggle with the atrocities committed against him. In true Preppy fashion though, he handles it in his own crazy and outlandish way, and I love every single minute of his road to recovery.
The Preppy readers have come to love throughout his series is lost. Lost in the pain, lost in the memories, and lost in this life that has moved on without him. The anguish that pierces through him is felt in every word T.M Frazier writes. Readers get to see these glimpses of the Preppy they have loved, but he is weighed down, suffocating under a black cloud he can’t seem to escape. Watching the other characters struggle to help him does nothing to heal the heart, except the amount of love among this group of misfits and criminals is immense, and their dedication to helping Preppy heal is astounding. The one person who is able to help him, pull him from the darkness is Dre. Andrea has returned as a better version of herself, more put together and accepting responsibility for her past misdeeds. She is, however, still the girl that isn’t afraid to stand up to Preppy, to challenge him, and to push his boundaries. When she breaks and unleashes everything on him, it is one of my favorite moments of the book. I literally cheered for her tenacity, and for his reaction to it! Not everything is as clear cut, though, as Dre ends up revealing some secrets that not only rocks Preppy’s world but her world as well. This revelation begins Preppy’s return, and, oh, what a return it is! By the end of this story, the Preppy readers have loved makes his return. The cockiness, the absurd humor, and the bowtie all come back and are sported by our beloved anti-hero with gusto.
As warned by the author, this book is about so much more than the romance between Dre and Preppy, and while there are certainly the steamy scenes readers love from Ms. Frazier, there is a good portion of the book where they aren’t together and interacting, but this needed to be done. After the trauma that Preppy endured, he needs to heal, to find a new place in this new world, and he needs to come to terms, in his own way. Readers know this man never does what is expected or the norm, and T.M. Frazier honors that journey while giving the readers the romance they want from Dre and Preppy, as well as setting up the storyline for the next book.
The plot of this story will suck readers in from the opening pages. The emotional turmoil felt not only by Preppy, but also King, Ray, Ti, Bear, Dre, and even Rage and Nolan captures the reader. Seeing this family struggle to get better, to heal, to find a new path is heartbreaking, yet oddly hopeful. This group’s desire to be there for each other, to band together, and to rally around the man who for so long held them together warms the heart. In addition to the familial element, T.M. Frazier expertly sets up the next book. She layered this secondary plot details into the story, foreshadowing the events of book three, which only piques readers interest, as Preppy’s reaction based on the final act of the book is guaranteed to be EPIC, unlike anything readers have seen from T.M. Frazier before. Trust that Ms. Frazier has enough bombs placed in this story to keep readers entertained until the very end.
With Preppy, T.M. Frazier showcases why she is one of my favorite dark romance writers. The suspense, the violence, and the love, even from these violent criminals, is captivating. I love this dark and dirty world she has created, and the dubious and charismatic characters she has placed in it. I hope she never stops writing about them, because I never want to leave this world. I can at least find comfort in knowing I get to return for one more round, but one particular bomb she detonated leaves me some hope for more! Until then, I will sit and not so patiently wait for the conclusion of Preppy, the man who has stolen my heart!

When I reviewed Preppy 1 with 5 stars, I said a thank you to TM Frazier for writing a book perfectly suited to my sensibilities, that I would not now have to write.
That was in 2019.
Why did I wait so long to read this one? Well, I did want to savor it. That's true. But moreso, I was afraid that Frazier's vision for her characters might not gel with me this time. And I'm happy to report that once again, she blew me away.
I'm always impressed at her pacing, but in a story like this one with a lot of moving parts - including several characters whose stories have been told but are moving forward together in real time - it's even harder to pull off. She does it. A couple of times I actually yelled my surprise out loud.
And it's just as daring as the first. Some of this isn't your average erotic romance. It's gritty and dirty and these people are very much flawed, and do many illegal and some might say immoral things. It works for me. This series inspires my sense that what I like is appreciated by others, too.

“When faced with the fucking end of my life, I spit in the reaper’s face. Because my name is Samuel Clearwater, and I take orders from no one. Not even death.”
“I didn’t give a shit about the pain. Not anymore. Pain wasn’t exactly a new thing for me. However, freedom was. Feeling free from the anger. From the regret. Free from not caring if I could ever be the person I was before all the shit went down.”
What an exciting and thrilling addition to this series. I don’t know about you guys, but after the way the last book ended, I needed to know more. I had tons of questions and desperately needed all the answers. And let me tell you, this book does not disappoint. This book is dark. This book is complicated. This book will keep you guessing and wondering which end is up. If there is one character I can not get enough of, it is Samuel Clearwater.
Preppy: Part 2 gave me everything that I could have possibly wanted and more. I am purposely being vague because as a fan of this series, I can honestly tell you that this story, this series needs to be entered into blindly. I promise you won’t regret it. This book hooked me from beginning to end and after another crazy, crazy ending, I can imagine what Preppy: Part 3 is going to have in store for us!
