King by T.M. Frazier
4.0
Warning: this book has a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you thinking WTFFFFF
Ok so from the top there is Brantley King and Samuel Clearwater aka Preppy who have some serious kid issues growing up. King has no father but a barrage of men passing through his life and a mother that won't stand up for him and preppy has no mother but a dead beat step dad (match made in messed up kiddy friendom).
After King saves Prep he gets a blank page for their future:
- “Let’s make a mother fucking plan.”
-“ I’ll help you. We can do it together. You run the shit. I’ll help you run the shit. Then, we’ll buy a big ’ole Star Wars stilt home and live there, and no one will be able tell us what to fucking do ever again!”
So Prep and King bond for life especially over their hobby which is bitches?(HAHAHAHA.... who are these kids?)
Fastforward to King getting out of jail: "True to our words, we became our own men and answered to no one. We did what we wanted. I turned my drawing into tattooing. Preppy got bitches."
- "I fucked. I fought. I partied. I got wasted. I stole. I fucked. I tattooed. I sold dope. I sold guns. I stole. I fucked. I made fucking money. And I fucked."
Glad to see them making their dreams come true ? LOL
Then Doe comes into the picture having no recollection of her memories- "I don’t fucking know. Anything was possible.I don’t know where I came from.I don’t know how old I am.I don’t know my real name."
I really like T.M. Fraziers writing style. The characters are super vivid and relatable but not in a generic way that you always read about. Her characters have strong personalities and she doesn't hold back the punches in writing.
I don't even know how she ends up with Nikki the druggie/hooker who has a master plan of getting bikers to "protect" them in exchange for sex (nice gameplan *rolleyes*)
- “Well, I didn’t see you offering to suck his cock for a ride,” Nikki snapped. “So shut the fuck up about it. Besides, I got us here didn’t I?” Ms. Doe Judgey McJudgerpants.
So they are at King's party trying to hoe their way into someones bed in exchange for protection. Doe gets roped in by Bear the VP of the MC club to give a warming present to King. They immediately ummm "hit it off" I guess lol because he starts questioning her and for her to admit that she was no one had to be really heartbreaking.
Then of course the fiery Doe can't hold back "“I was thinking about what a shame it was that good looks are wasted on someone like you" (Foot in mouth disease girly). Then he leaves her without blowing his load in his room where Nikki (her "friend") steals the dudes cash and shoots her
This is where I get a little confused because I totally understand the King hating her thing but I can't pinpoint where it transitioned fully to him wanting her as his girl"
- "I’d never both hated and wanted something so much in my entire life." Cue Kings fascination?
- "Technically, you can say that I was caring for her. Technically, I wanted to face fuck her until she gagged. (how romantic?)
- “You’ll find out that I’m a lot of things, but I’m no fucking rapist. Before I fuck you—and I will fuck you, pup—you’ll be begging me for it,” he whispered against my neck. ?I believe that !!!!!!
Her perception of him was also confusing too because one minutes she's all like : "I didn’t dream about him; he was right about that. Because King wasn’t a dream. He was a nightmare." (should she be more grateful?) Then "This place was as confusing as King. Hard edges, unfinished and unrefined, yet mysterious and beautiful in it’s own way?" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My fav of this book is the famous Preppy who is also a hoot with his comedic reliefs: "You thought I was a hooker, pleasuring her with my man meat and getting paid for it." Then preppy is on the Doe bandwagon also because he wants to take her out on a date. “Well, she’s not my property. She’ s my friend. So, if I can’t take her out, then you have to take her. I’m not doing this for me. I’m doing it for her. She’s been through some shit, and we both know what that’s like. The kid deserves a break. A little fucking fun.”
King tries to get Doe to realize its not "Her aka her past memories" and Doe fighting but they are one and the same person " Stop being alive and start living". Their relationship eventually progressed before the shit hit the fan. Some pretty graphic shit goes down and lives are lost (I don't want to ruin it by naming names).
They begin to pick up the pieces but King has a secret way to get "Max" back that just twists everything upside down !!!!!!!! The ending for me was THE BEST PART oft he entire book and I had to re-read a couple times to get my head wrapped around the situation.
I am going to close with this "With our sex we told each other we hate you, I want you and I don't want you to leave" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
