Boy was I ever wrong. Preston is worse. Much much worse. First, I just want to say that if you have triggers, PLEASE read this book with caution. I believe Andi has trigger warnings for this book on her website but I\u2019m not 100% on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can read anything and I don\u2019t have triggers at all but the prologue to this book made even me feel very uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a huge fan of Andi Jaxon\u2019s MM books. I thought Bully King was my favourite and then this one came along and it\u2019s definitely pushed BK out of the #1 spot for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story is dark mixed with a sliver of light. It\u2019s grumpy\/sunshine and that\u2019s not an exaggeration. Jeremy is the sunshine that Preston needs. Andi wrote Preston perfectly and what happens to him is beyond tragic. His dad needs to be shot and peed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as I know, this story is a standalone but there are some side characters that I would love to see stories for. A little MFM action could take place between a set of twins and a lady. Hint hint, Andi. Hint hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoyed this book and I can\u2019t wait for more from Andi. This story is the perfect amount of steam and plot. One doesn\u2019t over rule the other either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of MM books, I highly recommend checking this one out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B0BBJG4Z1L&amp;asins=B0BBJG4Z1L&amp;linkId=bcd9f9f18df55fd9e5710cc4eede8540&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Preston Carmichael is the most infuriating man I\u2019ve ever met.
