With this INCREDIBLE series coming to an end, I had NO IDEA how to approach this final installment. T.M. Frazier sets the bar with every single release, and I knew Preppy, Part Three would be no different. When this came across my kindle, all I did was stare at the cover. It was like I was in a daze and the only thing that existed was this book. I knew it held the epic conclusion to one of my all time favorite series, but I didn't realize I would be so emotional without even cracking the first page. I wanted to savor it. I wanted to devour it. I wanted to take it all in, page by page. I NEEDED the conclusion like I need air, but I didn't want to say goodbye to these incredible characters who have stolen my heart. So as I sat in bed, staring at the cover, I realized that T.M. Frazier would take care of her readers with this one. She would give us the ending that we all want and crave. She will do these characters justice, and I shouldn't worry about a thing. So with a renewed sense of determination, I turned to the very first page.
"Well friends," ... "This is the fun part of the evening where we get to meet and discuss who's trying to fuck with us and all the ways they need to die."
If you remember how we were left at the end of Part Two, your heart is probably still in your throat. And believe me, it only gets more and more intense. Who is using Dre to get to Preppy? Why won't the past stay in the past? Don't they know that this family is not to be FUCKED WITH? Guys, I was completely ENRAPTURED cover to cover. My eyes never left the pages, and my heart never stopped pounding out of my chest. Ms. Frazier gives us an ending that we will never forget. An ending worthy of these amazing characters who have become like family to all of us. This series is more than a dark, gritty, and raw romantic suspense. The element of family and friendship are strong in this one, and it will fill your soul with so much love and devotion, you won't know what to do with yourself. If you are looking for a SEXY, DARK, and EMOTIONAL thrill ride, look no further than the KING SERIES by T.M. Frazier.
"I'll never leave you, and you will never leave me. Is that understood?"
Keep in mind that this book is the seventh and final installment of the King Series and you MUST READ the six prior books in order to fully appreciate Preppy, Part Three. This may be the end, but I will never forget these characters and their journey. It's EPIC! It's SENSATIONAL! It's EVERYTHING!

As much as I have enjoyed the 'King' series, I have mixed feelings about this book. Preppy is a favorite character of mine, but I was left feeling somewhat underwhelmed with this final book in his story. At the same time, I was glad that everything was tied up and that the series drew to a close. I think it was time. It is kind of bittersweet for me.
Like earlier books in the series, Preppy, Bear and King team up to take on those that would do them harm. This time around, Dre is a target. Picking up right where the last book left off, Dre is in a dire situation and has to fight for her life. That isn't the last time that they'll find themselves in a life or death struggle though.
Despite the action and danger that fills the pages, I was left feeling somewhat bored. Maybe I've just grown tired of the constant danger and implausibility of this series, but I just wasn't surprised or even anxious while reading this one. It felt kind of flat for me.
That being said, it was nice to see these characters all "grown up" and settled down. Each of them managed to find their happy place, going on to have children and live out their HEAs. These rough and tumble, drug-dealing guys have become the picture of domestic bliss. It is kind of sweet, in a bizarre way.
Overall, I thought that this ended up being a pretty good book. It didn't hold my attention like the earlier books in the series, but I was also glad to see everything wind down and come to a close. It was a great ride while it lasted, but it was time.

I wish I could give this book more stars!
I thought I couldn't love Preppy any more...
I thought I knew all there was about Preppy...
Wrong!!
Prepare yourself for Preppy 3!
T.m. Frazier has outdone herself with the beautifully painful romance of Preppy!
Of course we learn more secrets about him as well as other characters in this series, including some very unexpected new surprises!
Better to go into this book blindly!
The conclusion to Doc and Preppy’s love story was emotional and all consuming!
It was Preppy at his best in a "storming-the-castle, take-no-prisoners" drag the damsel in distress by her hair kind of love... and I never wanted it to end!!!

4 stars!!!
Samuel Clearwater, aka Preppy is back in his final book and better than ever! It’s no secret that I’ve adored Preppy from the first moment I met him, and my love for him has only grown with his books. In the last book, Preppy and Dre were happy and everything was good… until the last few pages. I was on pins and needles waiting for this book to come out so I could see how things would turn out for these two!
I love both Preppy and Dre. I love how their story started and all they’ve overcome. I don’t want to go into the story, but know you’ll feel all the love between them, you’ll get all the crazy you come to expect from these books, and in the end, you’ll be happy as a clam! Preppy is one of those unforgettable characters and I always love reading about him. His and Doc’s journey is a wild ride, but one that is a heck of a lot of fun!
With the King/Bear/Preppy series, TM Frazier has given us an amazing bunch of characters who are more family that friends. They are characters I’ve grown to love and they always make me laugh and smile. There is a lot of crazy that happens, but things always work themselves out. I love that I can laugh through all the books, even though the story lines can have moments of darkness. The Preppy trilogy is funny, sexy, suspenseful, fun and highly entertaining! I’ve loved this series and I can’t wait to see what Tracey comes up with next!
Growing up Grace had always told me that you can be a bad boy and still be a good man. I think I was finally understanding what that meant.

Ahhhhh what a brilliant end to a much loved character in the King series. I am so sad right now because I want so much to see Preppy's story go on and on forever. I do know T.M.Frazier is writing some adventures for a couple of side characters we have met throughout the series so hopefully we will see more of Preppy, King and Bear in those.
What can I say about part 3 of Preppy's story? It was just awesome and more. Preppy has changed since his months of hell in Chops hands. I found he could still be the bad boy we know protecting the ones he loves most but we also see the calm, sweet and loving softer side to him a lot. I can't work out which side of him I prefer so I will just go with I love all of him completely and utterly. The only little gripe I had and it's a teeny gripe, was that I think he lost some of his quirky sense of humour in this instalment but then there was the usual amount of drama that he seems to attract surrounding this book and some of it was really tough on him. Every time I see a pancake or a bow tie now I will always think of Preppy.
Dre has totally changed from her previous years and has become a fiercely independent woman who loves Preppy with all her heart. We have watched her over the course of the 3 books holding her own whilst becoming stronger than she's ever been whilst most women would have run a mile by now.
Overall If you haven't read this series and you can stomach dark matter in your books then get on this series now!
Mrs Frazier my hat is off to you as the King series is in the number one spot of my top all time reads. I can't wait for the spin off stories you create especially Smoke's who seems to be our secret magician saviour, always pops up in the right place at the right time saving the day. He never however seems to stick around so I think his story may be an interesting one!

Samuel Clearwater. That boy has been my all time favorite character in the history of literature and fictional characters since King met him when they were 11 and 12 years old in the beginning of the first KING book.
I don't know what it is about him, about his attitude and 'Don't care' attitude, but it's so appealing to me. Everything about that boy, even the messed up stuff is so so appealing. From the sarcastic mouth to the bowties.
I'm normally the type of person to avoid cliffhangers at all costs until all books are written and released. I don't like cliffhangers. If I could do away with them, I would. I DISPISE THEM! But I knew that with Preppy, there was absolutely zero waiting. I had to read them as they were released. HAD TO. You know...Because Preppy.
After the cliffie from Part 2, I was DYING to know what happened and how Preppy handled it. I KNEW there'd be blood shed. I knew he would completely destroy things. I also knew that the same ol' Preppy would be there too, Drugs and foul mouth.
This whole book was completely bittersweet for me. I was so excited to read it. Like, Buzzing excited. But I'm also completely torn up and devastated that it's all over. It's just over. I don't want it to end. I want these books to continue forever. I think Tracey needs to just quit doing everything else in life and just write about King, Ray, Bear, Thia, Preppy and Dre. Maybe a spin-off with the kids. KEEP IT GOING FOREVER TRACEY!!
The ending of this book actually made me cry, something I haven't done with these books since King when Preppy died. I bawled then. But the ending of this was just...crushing. Crushing, but beautiful. King and Preppy. Being amazing and funny and just, them.
I'm totally okay though. I'm not crying....It's allergies....and from laughing.

I feel invested in these lives when reading this series!
This series is one of the best I have ever read. The story of Preppy throughout this entire series has been so emotional. Since the first book, he was so unbelievably funny and genuine that I just couldn’t help but love him. Then after what happened to him it was so terribly sad not only for me, because I liked him so much but for all the other characters who were so shaken by the events of that day.
I think Prep is literally my favorite character of all time. When I get asked the question of which fictional character I would like to spend time with in real life, Preppy wins hands down. He is the best character by far. He definitely is the funniest and most upbeat even despite what he has gone through in his life. He is also one of the most loyal characters, not only to King but to Doe and all the supporting characters.
To find out he is alive, is awesome but also the journey back is a total tear-jerker at times, because he has to go through so much, because he missed so much while he was gone, like Grace’s death, and his entire world has basically changed. He was living with his friend King and King’s girlfriend, Bear stayed in the Garage and they partied all the time. He returns to a home where King and Doe have 3 kids living in King and Preppy’s house, and Bear has a pregnant girlfriend.

“Ummm...what the hell is that?” Kevin asked, looking at the table in the trailer.
“Manure,” I answered.
“Really?”
“No. Not really,” I sighed. “It’s a body-shaped plastic bag, Kevin. What the fuck do you think it is?” I snapped my fingers in front of his face to get his attention. “Now listen up, Daniel-son.”
“Who is it?” Kevin asked, entirely too focused on what was going on in the trailer. His gaze followed Jake’s every move as he sharpened one of the knives from the wall with a steel sharpener.
“The dead have no names,” I said.
“That’s a line from Game of Thrones,” Kevin pointed out.
“That doesn’t mean it’s not true.”

He returns to a home where King and Doe have 3 kids living in King and Preppy’s house, and Bear has a pregnant girlfriend.
Tears welled up in his eyes. He cleared his throat and leaned in close so that his cheek was touching mine. “Okay, I’ll tell you.” He sighed. “Your injuries are the product of a horrible sex swing accident. The nurse said it was the worst one the hospital has ever seen. Don’t you worry your pretty head though. They’ve successfully retrieved the gerbil. He’s a bit shaken up, but they think he’s going to pull through.” I laughed, because it was Preppy and impossible not to.
Even though Dre and Preppy are now together and adopting Bo, the emotions run high in this one. There is someone still out to get them and they don’t know who it is. Preppy has a new brother that he doesn’t know much about and the guys still don’t know all the people involved in the coverup to fake Preppy’s death. Suffice it to say, I laughed, I cried and I totally loved every minute of it!

Preppy: The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part Three is the conclusion to Preppy & Dre's story. It was heart pounding, sweet-talking, goofy, lovable and downright dirty. Preppy is one of a kind, there is no other way to describe this man and all that he is, he loves completely and fully. Making it clear that family is everything! Ride or die, this motley crew have each others back in every aspect of life and it's crazy beautiful!
Crazy to believe that this is the 7th book in the King series, they have become such a part of me. A fantasy world where I can escape and live the life of the lawless.

Preppy’s love wasn’t ‘romantic’. It was beautifully painful. It was the storming-the-castle, take-no-prisoners kind of love and I never wanted to escape from it. From him.

Yet again, T.M Frazier has blown my mind with Preppy. He's such an amazing character, and in each of his books we've gotten to learn about a different side of him. In Part Three we get more of his kickass behavior, but this time with more of a softer side to him.
I fell in love with this author when I first read The Dark Light of Day but after reading Preppy's stories I now have a hardcore crush on her. She takes this dark and brutal story and somehow makes it beautiful, and it will forever be one of my favorite series because of that. Preppy and Dre didn't have an easy journey to get to their ending, but it was one that will suck you in and wish they were real characters, killing and all.
I'm not going to go into the plot of their conclusion at all because I don't want to spoil anything, but let me just say that this is not a book you want to miss. And if you haven't start this whole series yet, you need to get King on your Kindle right away. Bottom line, read this book or Preppy will unleash hell on you.

"You should know by now, Doc, that even death can't keep a motherfucker down."
Preppy Part Three is the seventh book in the KING SERIES. Although the Preppy books (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading this series from the first book to grasp the intensity of the relationships and the full story arc. The King Series is gritty, raw, real, romantic, action packed, and utterly unforgettable. Preppy is by far the most dynamic character of the bunch and when he speaks his hypnotic voice will hold you captive and entertained for hours!
"YOU are my life."Preppy Part Three picks up directly after Preppy Part Two. Preppy and Dre are in the middle of a crisis, and it is up to Preppy, King, and Bear to come together and unveil their wrath once again. Anyone who dares to threaten "the family" is bound to end up dead. These boys have no problem protecting their women and Preppy is recklessly in love with Dre and will do anything to keep her safe.
"Samuel Clearwater. You're everything. Because you are the light in all of my dark."As Preppy and Dre begin to settle into their new lives, demons from their past continue to lurk around every corner. The connection between Dre and Preppy is stronger than ever, and nothing is going to keep these two from finding their happily ever after. With the commanding presence of King, Bear, Thia, Ray, Jake (YUM), and few other notable characters, Preppy Part Three offers an extraordinary conclusion to this epic series.
"I felt it in my nipples, in my skin, in my fingertips. Bursts of pleasure that weren't like a wave, but like lights growing brighter and brighter until the glass bulbs shattered all around us."Told in dual POV, Preppy Part Three is full of action, passion, and complex characters that are driven to protect one another. Preppy is by far my favorite character of the series due to his unabashed view on life. His ADD brain never stops. The combination of his inner monologue and the dialogue that comes out of his mouth kept a smile on my face and a tender burn in my heart the entire read. The darkest and most brutal moments are saturated with quirky cleverness as the dialogue bursts with color. Dre and Preppy are both broken, and together they make each other whole. Every moment with this motley crew is simply unforgettable, and this final installment was utterly flawless.
Overall, Preppy Part Three is an absolute must read. T.M. Frazier has created a world like no other. Where loyalty and love reigns. Doing what's wrong somehow becomes right. Loving fearlessly is better than never loving at all. Friends are everything. It's ok to make mistakes because we learn to love harder and live longer. This entire series will hold a special place in my heart (and my shelf) forever. I am happy and yet so sad to say goodbye to these friends. T.M. Frazier you amaze me. I cannot wait to see your next amazing creation.

I've currently got this song in my head: Boyz II Men - It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday
I'm finding it extremely difficult to write this review. I'm finding it hard to let these people go. I guess the same can be said whenever an epic saga reaches its end because no one wants to say goodbye to their most beloved characters. And this isn't just a farewell to Preppy, although that one cuts real deep, but it's sayonara to King, Bear, Ray, Thia and Dre too. The only thing that is keeping me from the depths of despair is the little ray of hope that TM Frazier gave at the end of this book, making me believe that this goodbye isn't forever. It's more of a "see you later".
My Fave Quotes:
"Passionate. Relentless. Rough. Frenzied. We were all of that and more. So much more." - Dre about her and Preppy
"I was a boy when we met, someone who avoided and ran from everything in his life he didn't want to deal with. In some ways I'm never going to grow up, but you made me want to be more. For you. For Bo. Now I'm a man who knows it's time to stop running away and start running toward and I'm choosing to run to you, Doc. Forever." Preppy to Dre
"He defended me when no one else would. He protected me when I couldn't protect myself. He became family when I didn't have one." Preppy describing King
I'm not sure how to properly form a review right now. My emotions are still running pretty high. So I'm just going to speak to the guys who stole my heart.
To King: Thank you for being so scary and sexy at the same time. You taught me the true beauty of your dysfunction. I loved watching you grow into the man you are today and being an invested observer to your hard-won happy ever after with your one and only love, Doe. I firmly believe that you are the glue that holds everything and everyone together and that there is no greater friend, ally or love greater than you. I love you so much!!
To Bear: Thank you for letting me fall in love with you within the first book. Thanks for letting me see all of your pain and allowing me to bear witness to your every triumph. Like your friends, your existence was never easy. Your dad, Chop, was evil incarnate. Thank you for being nothing like him. You and Thia deserve every bit of the happiness and blessings you've reaped and that are still in store for you. Thank you for all of the inappropriate moments. Thanks for refusing to wear shirts. No need to cover up all of that hotness *wink*. Most of all, thank you so much for being you.
To Preppy: I don't know why this is so hard. Maybe it's because your story was the last and remains the freshest. Thank you so very much for the insanity that is you. Your beginnings were horrific and broke my heart and a part of me wishes your stepdad were still alive so you could give him the Preppy special. Dude, you made so many freaking mistakes along the way, but I always admired the way you owned them. Thank you for making bow ties sexy. I will never look at bow ties the same way again. Thank you for staying true to you. I know you've changed, you've grown up, you're a husband and a dad now, but fundamentally you are still the same. Just as loyal. Just as honorable. Just as crazy. You're you and I love you! When you died, I was broken. I was still dedicated to your family (got those books on my shelves, of course), but we all knew something was missing. The huge hole you left was glaringly obvious. When you came back, I bawled my eyes out while my heart sang. Your creator sure knows how to wring out every emotion from me, especially when it comes to you. Thank you for being such an awesome character. That's right, I'm in awe of you. You're crass, raunchy, rude, obnoxious, inappropriate and just plain wrong. However, I wouldn't want you any other way because for every negative quality, you've got a positive one that outweighs it by far. What I've always loved most about you was your huge heart. You've got more reason than most to refuse to open it up, but your capacity to love is unparalleled. From the way you and King became thick as thieves; then Bear rounded out your trio; how you welcomed Mama Grace and treated her like the mom you always deserved; you even took Doe under your wing despite the circumstances; and the list goes on. The most obvious proof is how and who you are with your family. Your love is absolute and unconditional. I love how you love them all, especially Dre and Bo. I love what you're willing to do for those you love. You're a man who, on the surface, seems to embody all that is wrong with your trousers and you dress shirts and your suspenders and your bow ties and especially with those tattoos that go all the way to the sides of your head... but you, King and Bear are all perfect in your imperfections. I'm going to miss your wit, your jokes, your wild hairs, your incredible stories, your everything. I really hope it doesn't take your creator too long to bring y'all back to life. In the meantime, y'all continue to take care of each other.
To the entire cast and crew of the King series... until we meet again... Because Pancakes!!

➦Dear Preppy, we meet again! I guess for the last time, since, you know, your story is over. And what a story it was! I have to say you've kept me thoroughly entertained with your crazy antics and crude humor.
➦I'd definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves bad boys who walk on the other side of the law and aren't afraid to take the matters into their own hands when other people mess with what's theirs.
➦This last installment was pretty intense, I think I even sobbed a little at some point. I just couldn't help but be invested in all these wonderful characters that T.M. Frazier created. It really felt like they were all part of one family. Fantastic! I hope to read more of this author's work in the near future.

3.5 Passionate, relentless, rough and frenzied STARS
Y al final Preppy termino siendo el Joy de Friends. Si ya saben a que me refiero, un personaje amado y con un gran número de fans, hasta el punto en el que la autora creyó que podría utilizarlo y exprimirle tres libros más.
Tristemente no fue así. La Trilogía The Life & Dead of Samuel Cleanwater, empezó bien no lo niego, el primer libro fue genial, pero decayó porque su historia no daba para estirarse tanto. Este libro tiene cosas buenas por supuesto, pero no las suficientes.
¿Seguí amando a Preppy? Obviamente si, no tanto como lo ame en los primeros libros de King, pero igual el tendrá un lugar muy especial en mi corazón.
Pero al final su trilogía no termino defuncionar por este simple problema: No tuvimos un buen villano. Preppy necesitaba violencia para ser el crazy personaje que tanto amamos, pero no la tuvimos. Tuvimos algunos momentos, como al final del segundo libro cuando mato al padrastro de Boo, pero solo eso, aquí paso lo mismo, no tenemos villano, por lo que no tenemos un equilibrio.
SPOILERT ALERT
El 80% del libro trata de Preppy Y Dre, armando su familia, viviendo en su casita, pasando el rato con sus amigos, conociendo a Kevin (que hablare más de él), pero realmente no pasaba nada, como si todo el relleno del segundo libro no hubiera sido suficiente, como si Preppy y Dree necestaban aún más tiempo para sobrepasar su pasado, y wharever.
El 20% final, tuvimos un poco de acción, la autora se sacó a un villano de la manga, que no me hizo sentir nada.
Mis partes favoritas del libro:
-Boo, adoro a ese niño, ojalá veamos más de él, quizá un libro.
-La boda, si fue muy romántica, y en toda honestidad suspire mucho, Preppy merecía encontrar su felicidad a su propia manera y al final lo logro.
-Kevin Clearwater, sin duda él fue mi personaje favorito de todo el libro. Al principio era la intriga para saber si era malo o bueno, cuáles eran sus intenciones. Luego verlo convertirse en parte de la familia de Preppy, sus momentos junto fueron muy divertido.
Lo declaro en este momento, estoy enamorada de él, NECESITO SABER MAS DE KEVIN CLEARWATER, en especial de sus 11 inchs.
En conclusión: Buen final para una serie muy querida, pudimos despedirnos de todos los personajes, recordar nuestro mejores momnetos y fui feliz al verlos a todos felices.
Al final proclamo que, aunque Preppy es mi personaje favorito de la serie completa de King, sin duda mi libro favorito es el de Lawless, para mi ese libro es completamente perfecto, Bear y Thia fueron mi pareja predilecta y creo que fue porque su historia si tuvo lo que a esta le falto, un villano a la altura, Chump.

I cried. The second I finished this book and read those last three words, it all suddenly hit me that I'd just finished not only this book, but this series, a series that has took me completely by surprise by how much I loved it, and a series that has also helped me get through some troubling times in my life. It's a series that's had me feeling so many different emotions, and has left me with my mind blown, my heart racing, my heart breaking, and has had me just generally going crazy many, many times. So yeah, the minute I finished this book, I cried my goddamn eyes out. Preppy Part Three was the most perfect story to end this series with; I was consumed with it, and I loved every single second of reading it.
Told in both Preppy and Dre's POV, we pick up right where we left off in Preppy Part Two with the shocking cliffhanger of Dre's abduction. Instantly I was thrown back into the series that I love, and already I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what the heck was going on and wondering what was going to happen next. With King and Bear at his back and by his side, Preppy is dead set on finding Dre and keeping her safe from whatever threat is out there trying to hurt his family, and he will stop at nothing until the blood of his enemy is dripping down his hands. But as the story goes on, Preppy has to start questioning who it is he can trust, especially since he's recently had some people unexpectedly come into/come back into his life.
With every unexpected twist and turn, I devoured this book like I never have before, and just when I thought everything was going to be OK, T.M. Frazier delivered a plot twist that was so unexpected and mind blowing and just shocking, that I was left completely speechless. Everything about this book left me speechless. I didn't know what to expect when I first started reading it, so this whole book took me completely by surprise, and it took me by surprise for many different reasons.
All the characters we see here again have definitely grown up since I first met them, but have in no way changed who it is they are. Preppy Part Three is a book like no other in this series; everything about it was perfect, and it was everything that Preppy himself is all about - it was crazy, it was hilarious, it was surprising, and at times it was dark and twisted - but most of all and most importantly, it was about family.
Seeing Preppy with his family is the one thing I loved most about this book. Seeing his relationship with two of the new characters who we're introduced to in Preppy Part Two, and watching him as he grows closer with them; those scenes I absolutely LOVED! And watching him grow more in love with Dre, and seeing those two together - especially in the last 50% of this book - had me teary eyed and wishing that I could have a relationship like theirs. But it's the unbreakable bond that he shares with King and Bear that really did it for me; solidified that this series is my favourite of all time. Having that flashback of when they were younger (those scenes, throughout this series, have always been my favourite), and seeing how they are together and just seeing their friendship in general had me falling in love with those three men all over again.
I meant it when I said that Preppy Part Three was the perfect story to end this series with. It definitely kept me on my toes, and had me suspicious with every character we saw. I never knew what was going to happen next, but I'm not surprised about that because, hello? This is a T.M. Frazier book. I have never read one of her books and knew what was going to happen next. Have you? Even now she's still surprising me and leaving me speechless because what happens in this book... All the good and the bad... I truly did not see coming.
She definitely outdid herself with Preppy Part Three, and it's definitely my favourite book of hers; it was such a beautiful story, and nothing was left neither untouched nor unsaid when it came to some questions and suspicions I had. It really was the perfect ending to an amazing series, and I am praying that in the future, T.M. does decide to revisit these characters again one day, even if it's just for a short story. Or maybe the kids can have their own books? And hopefully, we do get more spin-offs from secondary characters that we were introduced to here, like we got with Rage and will be getting with Smoke. I adore this series so much that I just know it's a series that's going to stay with me forever, and I really don't want it to end, but you can bet your ass that I'll be going back in for rereads frequently in the future. I'll always need my King/Bear/Preppy fix. Always.

Guess who's back? The bowtie is BACK! Get ready to endure the whirlwind that is Preppy Part 3 because trust me, you're gonna need the warning.
Book Description
Dre was just a beautiful stranger when Preppy saved her the first time around. Now, he has to save her again, but she's no longer some stranger, she's family, and he has no idea who or what he's up against.
What he does know is that putting his family back together is the only acceptable outcome.
Preppy's to-do list?
SAVE FAMILY. SEEK REVENGE.
He's alive...and he's out for BLOOD.
Teasers
As always, No spoilers from me just my many many feelings *sighs*
Oh good god, T.M. Frazier has gone and done it again, Preppy Part 3 was everything I expected and more. She's gone and blown my mind and left me feeling so many different emotions and I can't even deal. It's like I've just climbed off of a rollercoaster and don't know which emotion to feel first. This book got me real good and shook me to the core, that's for sure.
From the very beginning the story is packed with sadness and sheer panic for this tight knit family as part 3 starts off from where part 2 left us, Dre's kidnapping. The bond they all share is something beautiful, they've all gone through similar situations making them come closer together.
As the story comes along TM (the queen of plot twists) throws a major twist in to the mix, one you won't even expect, I for sure didn't see it coming which brings more heartache and surprise.
We get to know more about Kevin and the doubts that Preppy and Dre feel at times over him and then there's adorable little Bo, he shocked me so hard, damn it and then he melted my heart at the end because oh my god he's an amazing little man. *goes and cries big ugly fat emotional tears*
Then I hit the last page and the tears start coming because I then realised that this is the end of Preppy and Dre's story, there's no more to come and it's so very sad because PREPPY and now I'm an emotional mess, Thank you TM.
Every single character that's come from the King series will forever be special to me and remembered, there's no way I could ever forget any of them. They're etched into my heart forever and I'll happily keep them there and although I love all the characters Preppy is my absolute favourite. He's quirky and absolutely dangerous and you never know what you're going to get. He's surprising and refreshing and he loves his family fiercely, he'll protect what's his until his dying breath and then some.
I truly, truly wish I could give this masterpiece more than a five star rating because god knows the genius that is TM Frazier deserves it. I don't even feel like this review is showing what I FEEL for this series at all, my words just aren't enough.
Beautiful, just absolutely beautiful. Thank you TM, thank you so much for giving us these characters!

As always, No spoilers from me just my many many feelings *sighs*
Oh good god, T.M. Frazier has gone and done it again, Preppy Part 3 was everything I expected and more. She's gone and blown my mind and left me feeling so many different emotions and I can't even deal. It's like I've just climbed off of a rollercoaster and don't know which emotion to feel first. This book got me real good and shook me to the core, that's for sure.

What a way to end the series. Dre and Preppy have gone through so much together and have grown as a couple exponentially. These people are as flawed as they come yet they compliment one another well. Their development throughout the series cannot be denied. I enjoyed the plot with its twists and turns and more than anything I love that they got their "happy" in an unconventional way. This book and series as a whole has tested boundaries, challenged assumptions, and made me surrender.
Not much more I can add to that.

***SIGH**
UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT..
Listen, i love Prepp..I am in love with Prepp ,i live for this dude and all that jazz..BUT this book didnt do it for me..yes, there was the whole revenge plot that happened here.. And ofcoz Bo and Dre (I love)... But i was super bored...really..

So i go back to my earlier review..this plot should have just been included in the second book..there was no reason for this book..
But hey, just my opinion..
Still love the author and sad to see the series end..

"You are the light in all my dark."
The third installment of The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater felt most like an extended epilogue to me. An epilogue not only for our dearest Preppy and his love, Dre, but also for the entire King series. There's a few twists and suspenseful moments in this installment but I think what I loved most was the true wrap-up we get for the characters. Also, be prepared to dig into your memory banks here. There was a few parts I really had to think to recall- with events dating as far back as King's books.
Dre and Preppy have stood the test of time but life seems to keep bringing challenges for both of them, testing not only their love but risking their lives. Ghosts always seem to linger for these two and that theme continues into this installment. Preppy is fiercely protective of his 'Doc' but how much can one person do against so many threats lurking in the shadows?
"Not even in death do us part."
But in the end, we get the grit and violence in Preppy, his humor, his larger-than-life personality, the 'father' Preppy, and the 'bedroom' Preppy. He's got it all and T.M. Frazier gave her readers a true gift with this cast of characters that toe the line from both sinners and saints. Very rarely saints, but they do have big hearts that love their women fiercely, loyalty to their brothers fierce as well.
I'll miss this cast of characters. Maybe down the line, Bo will grow into a young man and we'll get his story. We can hope!
THE MOTHERFUCKING END
This series must be read in order and cannot be read as standalones.

I have said from the very beginning I love Preppy and his damaged soul. Then I met Dre and loved how he helped her overcome so much. Then we had the time period where they helped each other and grew together.
This final installment felt like an epilogue at times. However, every time I let down my guard I was pulled back in and frantically reading to see what would happen next. In true Frazier fashion you have to expect the unexpected and know she will always pull the rug out from under you.
I loved how we got to see Preppy and Dre's life and get a lot of closure, because we got this plus some action packed suspense that left had me eager to turn the page. I love Preppy and this series and definitely recommend it!

Release Date: April 25, 2017
Genre: Dark Romance. MC Romance.
Is this really it? The series that I have fallen head over heels in love with is over? Whyyyyyy!?!? :: Sniffle Sniffle:: Honestly, if it HAS to be done, I suppose this is the way to go. But I am sure going to miss these guys... With that, let me start off by saying bravo to TM Frazier. You have turned a girl like me (one who is more into the sweeter side of romance than the ugly side) into a hardcore MC fan. You have given life to these dark and disturbing characters and made me fall for them despite their murderous ways. You made dark love look like a fairy tale, and made hardcore men look like teddy bears. For this, I adore you. This book is truly the perfect ending to a phenomenal series and while I am sad to see them go, I am excited to see what you have for us readers next.
Now, I am not going to get into the plot and give anything away because a.) you truly need to read this one for yourself to enjoy it and b.) because if you are unfamiliar or new to the series I don't want to spoil anything for you. But I will say that this is a must read series. It's more dark MC than anything else. You don't get butterflies and rainbows. You get the hardcore and scary kind of love. But you also get to meet a great group of characters that will turn you towards the dark side... And I promise, they will.
If your new to the series, I highly suggest reading them in order. Otherwise you won't get the full series effect. Also, if you read them in order you'll have a better understanding of all the characters involved. They are all connected within the series.
So go forth and read this series. I know you want to. Everyone needs a little Preppy, King, and Bear in their lives.... ;)

T.M. Frazier created my favorite character of all time when she dreamed up Samuel Clearwater, then spent the next few years torturing him, and in the process, me. When Preppy bled, I bled. When Preppy joked, I cackled. When Preppy raged, I felt the cool steel of his weapon in my hand. And when Preppy finally got his happy ending, we both came down with a severe case of "allergies." It was a wild ride, T.M. Thank you for giving me, and Preppy, a soft place to land.

3 Trilogy Conclusion Stars
This is the 3rd book in Preppy's story, but it is the 7th book in the King series, and the books should be read in order bc while there is some background given, there are way too many things that happen in the earlier stories that a reader would miss and then not be able to enjoy the current installment. If you have not read the earlier books, this review will contain spoilers.
Preppy is still my favorite character of this trio (King, Bear, Preppy), but this book felt largely unnecessary. There was a mega-cliffhanger at the end of book 2, but it is quickly dealt with at the start of this book. The only thing that was really "pending" was the "who done it" aspect (who is after Dre and why). There is some resolution with Preppy's family (his mother; his getting to know the younger brother he never knew he had), and with the adoption he and Dre have going with Bo as we get to know more about his story and he learns what it is like to be wanted and cared for.
What I liked:
--- Preppy was amazing with Bo - he really understood where this little guy was coming from and could understand what he was communicating often without sign language or words
--- Some resolution to issues that had been outstanding
--- Amused me that Dre's father's bookstore was being put out of business by mega online retailers like "Bookazon" (clever)
--- Steamy goodness was yummy - not as rough/angry as in the past as Preppy is settling in more with Dre
What I didn't like as much:
--- A lot of the book was fluff and it got pretty cheesy at times, actually, which is very inconsistent with the characters
--- Though we got to know her better, still not much connection with Dre
--- Still so many unanswered questions about Preppy's captivity - no real why or for what reason - it felt like the author decided to bring him back after truly killing him off and then had to find a way to make it work, so she threw this whole Chop being a weirdo prison keeper in the mix so it would sort of make sense - there were just too many people that had to be bought off or blackmailed for it to work, and that was not practical as Chop was not in the position to really do that; also, what was the point? He never used it against Bear to get what he wanted, so it just didn't make any sense
--- I figured out who the "bad guy" was bc there was something off with that character but
Overall, it was a nice conclusion (if a little too nice at times) to this trilogy about Preppy with some resolutions for the other characters from the earlier books in the series as well. And the steamy goodness was plentiful and yummy.
Plot --- 3/5
Main Characters --- 4/5
Supporting Cast --- 3.5/5
Steam Level* --- 4.25/5
Violence --- yes and with many possible triggers
Language --- yes
POV ---Dual
*Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild (nothing descriptive); 2/5 - 3rd base action/1 home run; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere (a couple of full-on steamy scenes); 4/5 - yes please! (erotica territory); 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all

3.75 stars
Five stars for Preppy's personality, comedic chatter, and unflinching loyalty to his friends and family! The rest of the storyline was okay. Yes, some parts were tear-jerker-ish, but then other parts of the story fell flat.
Preppy was his usual animated self in this final installment of the King series and I liked that all of the loose ends were tied up in this story, but the way in which those ends were tied up was too perfect. So perfect that there was minimal conflict in this book and it made for sort of an uneventful feel to this story. I loved the happy and celebratory parts--they were absolutely warranted to Dre and Preppy, but I loved the prior Preppy books more.

“It’s not always about who you’d die for. Sometimes it’s about who you’d kill for. Other times, it’s only about who you’d live for.”
Fantastic! 5 mother-effin’ stars!
I loved this book! It’s a celebration of all that is Samuel Clearwater, and this book is pure, 100% Preppy (which is why it has to be 5 stars). The good, the bad, the irreverently hilarious, the badass, the romantic, the hero, the villain and the friend. What a truly unforgettable character!
This book picks up immediately from where Preppy: Part Two finishes off, with Preppy determined to protect his family from unexpected and unseen danger. He’s so close to getting his happy ending, he just needs to save his girl, figure out where the threat is coming from, eliminate it and protect his family once and for all. And I loved watching it all play out!
Preppy and Dre’s strength is proven over and over again, and together they are a powerhouse. Committed and completely functional (in their own way), I loved the no-nonsense way they dealt with everything that came their way. Their passion for each other is hotter than ever, and I felt every bit of the intensity between them.
And I loved seeing how in love with each other they are and how unafraid they are to show it. The declarations are absolutely gorgeous and as raw and gritty as this book is, it still totally made me swoon.
There’s not as much actual storyline as I was expecting, instead we get an in-depth look at the lives of Preppy and Dre as they find their happy ending. Don’t get me wrong, there are things going on, and the story threads from the previous books are continued, but it’s more of a ‘settled’ book. Preppy and Dre are together, happy and totally loved up, and it’s mostly tying up loose ends - with a bit of violence and suspense thrown in - rather than a complete new story. Personally, I really appreciated that. SO much has gone on in this series, particularly for these two characters, and though there is still some danger for them to deal with, I was really happy to see each and every moment of them finally getting their HEA.
It’s sweet, funny, romantic and sexy, and it’s also all kinds of dirty, violent and gritty, and the blend of all of that is just perfection! From the deep, meaningful and profound…
“I’m a man who knows it’s time to stop running away and start running toward and I’m choosing to run to you, Doc. Forever.”
To the everyday awesomeness of Preppy just being Preppy…
OMG, too freaking funny!
And, of course, as much as this is a love story, it’s also a story of friendship and family. I loved seeing the newer additions to the series and how effortlessly they fit in, and there’s a really nice amount of time with King, Bear and Prep, and I just loved seeing the three boys together. As close family, there is nothing they wouldn’t do for each other, and together they are something truly special.
I loved this book, I loved Preppy’s story, and I loved this series. I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters, but this was the perfect send off, and I know that these books are ones that I will reread over and over again.
5 stars!

“You’re never leaving me. Say it. You’re never fucking leaving me,” Preppy ground out.
I wanted to say the words back, but I was literally being fucked senseless. I began to see stars. Brief flashes of white light as he fucked the words into my heart…
Passionate. Relentless. Rough. Frenzied.
We were all of that and more.
So much more.
And I loved seeing how in love with each other they are and how unafraid they are to show it. The declarations are absolutely gorgeous and as raw and gritty as this book is, it still totally made me swoon.
“Samuel Clearwater, I promise I’ll never leave you,” I whispered, my voice as shaky as my limbs. “I love you.”
Preppy closed his eyes. A lazy, satisfied smile appeared on his face. He dropped his head back onto my chest. “Love doesn’t even begin to cover it, Doc.”

“Ummm…what the hell is that?” Kevin asked, looking at the table in the trailer.
“Manure,” I answered.
“Really?”
“No. Not really,” I sighed. “It’s a body-shaped plastic bag, Kevin. What the fuck do you think it is?”
OMG, too freaking funny!
And, of course, as much as this is a love story, it’s also a story of friendship and family.

The saying that blood was thicker than water didn’t mean jack shit to me because I knew who my family was and blood was something we spilled for one another, not shared.
I loved this book, I loved Preppy’s story, and I loved this series. I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters, but this was the perfect send off, and I know that these books are ones that I will reread over and over again.

I bloody loved this book. I loved the flow, the wit, and the passion shown by every character who made up this amazing series.
I'm sorry to inform you all but I am on team PREPPY. He's crazy, certifiable, funny as hell, loyal, and I'd never ever want him as an enemy. But above all that, I I'm love with the way he loves. He does it with his whole body. Heart, mind, and soul. Which makes him a perfect match for Dre, because she loves the same way. Dre is just as passionate and a perfect soul mate for the illustrious Prep-she's the only one who knows how to handle him anyway!
Both of their lives have been so ridiculous, it's almost comical. But at the same time, Frazier manages to make me empathize with both Prep and Dre. Dysfunctional does not even begin to capture their life style and I have to tell you, I grinned through every minute of this crazy ride.
The third instalment of PREPPY, the Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater, filled me with a perfect sense of completion. Frazier really rounded out the series well and provided the reader with her typical suspense, laughter, action and an unconventional love story, summed up with a perfect ending for all the beloved characters throughout the entire book series.
I'll admit, I've always been impressed with King, Bear and Preppy's ability to keep the cops of their tails! Must have those boys on their payroll! But in all honesty, I'm going to miss this series, in all its deranged awesomeness.

I'll admit, I've always been impressed with King, Bear and Preppy's ability to keep the cops of their tails! Must have those boys on their payroll! But in all honesty, I'm going to miss this series, in all its deranged awesomeness.

I tried to slow this down, I really did. I didn't want it to end, waaah!!!
It picked up where Part 2 finished, and from there, it just kept moving. Preppy and Dre are finally trying to get settled with their new family but with that event in the beginning, there's still something hanging over their head.
Yes, this is still about Preppy and Dre getting to their HEA. But this is so much more than just the conclusion to Preppy and Dre's story. As the final(?) book in the series, King, Bear and their ladies, are here as well, especially King and Bear. As much as this is about Preppy and Dre, this is also about the friendship among these 3 crazy mamaluks who are your perfect example of brothers from another mothers. From the ugly homes they each grew up in, the friendship they created carried them thru every crime committed, every crisis survived, and every pain experienced. And if it carried them thru the ugly things, it definitely carried them thru every form of love and joy that they each deserve.
I particularly enjoy Chapter 5. In that one flashback, I think TM perfectly captured the kind of friendship these 3 have. Underneath the humor, one thing is clear, these 3 are meant to be friends for life... sigh...
But I digress, this is after all still about Preppy and Dre. Preppy and Dre couldn't be any more tethered to each other.That's just how it is. Given what they've gone through, I completely felt the intensity of their feelings for one another. I supposed the mere thought of possibly losing the other person brings out the most intense emotion.
Preppy is still his funny crazy self and Dre has finally found her stride. For lack of better words, I wanna say she's settled down and found herself. And Preppy, outside of his funny crazy self, could not have been any more touching with his words. I will always heart him!
If I felt Part 2 was more emo than actions, here I definitely got both. And in true TM fashion, you get the friendship, you get the family in every meaningful form, you get the humor, you get the feels, and of course, you get the heat.
That was one hella ride!... I'm telling ya, imma miss these crazy fellas...
Seriously, if you haven't started the series yet, or just started, just get to it, please! That is all...
