As a kid, Logan Preston was a brat.
Through his teens, he became the bad boy.
Now, at nineteen, no one knows what the hell to expect.

High school dropout, Logan Preston is a
good-for-nothing stoner.
A black sheep.
A disappointment.
The worst Preston Punk of the lot.
At least that’s how everyone in his small town
makes him feel.
But Logan Preston has secrets.
Secrets so dark and so deep below the surface that the only way he can fight them is to stay high, high, high.
He wears cockiness as a mask.
Arrogance as his armor.
Until one girl, one night, asks one life-changing question:
What's beneath the bravado, Logan Preston?

I always love a good bad boy read and Logan was just what I thought it would be. However, there was a side to Logan that lurked behind his cocky attitude that he kept hidden with the use of drugs. It was something deep that was hinted at a few times, but until it was revealed it remained a whisper in the back of my mind.

I really loved Logan for most of the book, with his carefree attitude and his sexy appeal. He was sweet when he wanted to be and loved his family with all that he had. He fell into an easy relationship with Aubrey, seeing more to her than the quiet, quirky, party girl she appeared to be. She brought out a tenderness in him that most people didn't know about.

Aubrey didn't have any real friends in town, and although her relationship with Logan got off to a rocky start, they formed a connection. I really liked Aubrey; how kind she was and everyone that she met genuinely liked her. She had her own style and was brave enough to start a new business on her own. When she was with Logan, I could see they complimented one another, but there was darkness lurking, and it would bring chaos to their lives.

When the crap hit the fan between Logan and Aubrey, I didn't know whether I loved Logan or not. His story broke my heart, but it was the way that things were handled that made it so hard!! Both Logan and Aubrey struggled, but I still had hope that they could find one another again!

I loved the strong family connection that all the Preston's have. They have lost so much already, and will do anything for one another if needed. They welcomed Aubrey into the fold quickly, which made her life easier, but hard as well.

Jay McLean... I LOVED this read! I know it wouldn't have been easy to write, considering some of the sensitive material that it touched on, but it was put together beautifully. I love every moment of being it the Preston family world, and I cannot wait to come back again. Logan was flawed, but his story was woven perfectly! Thank you for this AMAZING read!

This quote is a little long, but it has everything I love about this book! A tender kiss, a bit of fun and laugh out loud moment. Enjoy!

A hand tugs on my sleeve, and I follow it up to Logan’s chest. “Hey,” he says.
I meet his eyes. “What’s up?”
“This.” And then he’s kissing me, both hands on my face, forcing me to rise to my toes and release my basket. He’s everywhere around me, inside of me. My eyes open the second I feel him pulling back, but his eyes stay closed a second longer. I kiss him one more time. Quickly. And his lips lift at the corners. “You need a ride home?” he asks.
I shake my head, breathless.
“Sure?”
“I rode here.”
His eyebrow quirks. “On a bike?”
“No. On my gigolo.”
He laughs. “We can put it in the back of my truck. The bike or your gigolo.”
“I’m good,” I tell him. “Honestly, I could do with the exercise.”
He smirks. “Your stamina seems fine to me.” He kisses me again, this time slower, softer, more powerful. He has my back against the freezer, his hands in my hair, my hands wherever they land as long as they land on him.
“Oi!” the store clerk shouts at us.
Logan pulls away, adjusts my clothes, keeps the smile on his beautiful face.
The old lady behind the counter yells, “Quit groping the poor girl, you damn Preston Punk.”
Logan rolls his eyes. “She was groping me!”
I look over at her and nod enthusiastically. “I was totally groping him!”
