Preston Brothers #4
Liam - A Preston Brothers Novel
Hatred comes in waves.
But love? Love is a tsunami.
—
Liam Preston was five the first time he laid eyes on Adelaide Baker.
Eight by the time he found the courage to actually speak to her.
By ten, she’d ruined his entire existence.
And at fourteen, he got his revenge—a single decision that drove her out of town for good.
Or so he thought.
Five years later, she’s back.
Not just back in town, but back in his life—and forced into close proximity.
Now, there’s no escaping the past.
No avoiding the memories, the damage they caused, or the secrets they tried to bury.
And worse? No hiding the desire that clouds their disdain.
Uncovering the truth could bring them closer together…
If it doesn’t first tear them apart.
But love? Love is a tsunami.

Liam is the fourth book in Jay McLean’s ‘Preston Brothers’ series, and I swear, this series just gets better and better. I’ve loved every one, but this one might be my favorite. Liam and Addie were everything.
Addie and Liam have a lot of history from their childhood and teenage years, but it’s been five years since they’ve seen one another. Five years and, they both still hate one another. There is a lot that has happened between them. Addie has a traumatic past, and Liam has issues of his own. Give me two broken characters that find healing in their love and each other any time… It’s my catnip.
There were so many great moments and plot points, but I really think this one is best when going in without a ton of info. I loved being surprised, and seeing all the characters I love from not only the Preston books, but other books of Jay’s as well. The Preston family is one of my favorites, and they not only display their hilarious antics but also reveal the big hearts they all have. Add in Addie and Roman, as well as Addie’s foster parents. It was the perfect cast of characters.
Jay McLean is one of the only authors who can not only make me feel so viscerally, but also make me laugh out loud. I don’t know how she can always do both in the same book, but she never disappoints.
Liam has heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, laugh-out-loud moments, angsty parts, and gave me all the feels. Don’t be surprised if you see this on the very top of my 2025 favorites. A must-read book and series that is more than worth the wait.
And maybe that’s what we are… Two messy, broken people, finding joy in the unexpected. In each other.

As soon as this landed in my inbox, off went the tv, off to bed I went early..Perfect reading material on a cold winter's night. I couldn't wait to dive back into the Preston world again, these family members have such a special place in my heart and will forever live there..What to expect:
💋Forced Proximity
💋Slow Burn
💋Small Town
💋Childhood Enemies to Lovers
💋Summer Romance
💋Trauma-Healing
I felt like a yo-yo, one minute I’d be wrapped up in a Preston cocoon, loving being in those feels this family brings, to crying of all things Roman, the ways in which he tried to protect his little sister Addy had the tears pouring down my face.
The perfect brother to a imperfectly perfect little Addy. 😭
Liam and Addy were like broken little shards of glass shredding them up within, beautifully broken, but like missing puzzle pieces, together they became whole. These two were perfection. One would think Liam and Addy were as different as chalk and cheese but that's where you'd be wrong, both were traumatised by situations which occured in their pasts, Addy at the hands of her parents, Liam at the hands of his bullies. Both at such tender ages had an impact on who they became later in life. Addy hid her pain well, Liam his on his sleeve, but that twin telepathy he has going on with his brother was chefs kiss.
I laughed
I swooned
I cried
I healed..
This book yet again solidifies why this author fast became one of my unicorn authors..

Liam is a must read. I couldn't put this book down.
This story is brilliantly written. I loved the humour, I loved the angst even more.
Liam and Addie went to the same school for years, until a day she left. Now, after five years, she is back, and her return brought back their mutual disdain and some old disagreements. During the time together, will they bury the hatchett and putting their past to rest?
Addie and Liam's journey isn't easy, but together they are stronger, fiercer and completed.
I loved these characters. My heart broke for them, but it was nice to see them work their way back to peace, letting the light in and healing little by little.
Jay McLean is never banal and predictable. I wait for next book in the Preston Brothers series as soon as I finish one, but I don't even start to think what the story could be because I'm sure she will give me an unexpected but fullfilling novel, as she always manages to do.

did-not-finish
July 9, 2025**Review also posted on The Swoon Collection**
OVERALL RATING: Did Not Finish @ 64%
I have decided to stop reading this book because if I finish it — with the way I'm currently feeling — I would just end up giving it a low rating.
Back story:
I just reread More Than This recently, and it still made me swoon like the first time I read it, so I signed up for this ARC. I've read and loved the More Than series before, so I jumped at the chance to read this book.
Excited, I opened the eARC immediately after receipt, but reading the first page made me realize I can't recall who's who with the Preston Brothers, so I decided to start from book 1. The book made me ragey and I had to DNF, but I hoped that this one wouldn't be the same. I was wrong.
Still, it's not the writing that made me DNF. I think it says a lot about the author that she made me so invested that I feel outraged on behalf of one of the MCs. And before people come for me to say "people make mistakes, especially when they're young, blah blah" — it's not the making mistakes part that I cannot accept. It's the lack of proper remorse. You don't just say "I'm sorry" + your ~reasons~ for being cruel, and then expect everything to be okay after that. There should be a proactive offer to make up for the hurt you caused.
Wrong. That's not redemption. That's just self-awareness.
Lastly, based on what I've read so far with this series, I don't think I will be picking up the rest of them.
WHAT I LOVED 💕
💜 I loved the Preston family. If you look at the family from a distance, you'd think they have such a good and happy life, but the truth is, everyone has or has had their own problems. The best thing about this family is that no matter what happens — and despite any conflicts with each other — they all know they have a family that will always support them.
💜 I just want to hug Papa Preston for being such an amazing man. He may have lost the love of his life, but he was able to carry on and did such a good job of raising and supporting his kids. I loved the parts when the kids would reminisce about fond memories with their parents.
💜 Roman was a great brother. I loved everything I've read so far about Roman, and I'm rooting for him to find his own HEA.
WHAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME 😞
► ADELAIDE. Liam is too good for her, in my opinion. She's self-absorbed and didn't feel proper remorse for the hurt and trauma she caused Liam. He didn't just get called names; he was physically assaulted, and she didn't feel guilty about any of it until she got confronted years later.
And the reason she instigated the name-calling? I have so many more things to say, but I'm afraid they won't be nice, so I'll just stop right here.
► Liam forgave her easily. Don't tell me you've suffered mentally for YEARS, and when the reason for your torment comes back suddenly, you forgive and forget JUST LIKE THAT.
DID I LAUGH? The Preston Brothers hanging out together at the dock and talking about their love lives made me laugh.
DID I CRY? Teared up, yes, but all instances related to the Preston family dynamics rather than the relationship between Liam and Adelaide.
SWOON SCORE: 🦋 Flatlined
Was there any scene that made me swoon? Hmmm... no.
SPICE LEVEL: So far it was 🔥🔥🔥 Steamy but Tasteful
Liam may be socially awkward, but he's got a filthy mouth.
DO I RECOMMEND THIS? No, not really, but if you don't mind everything I've mentioned then go for it.

“Because if I’m in this room with you a second longer, I’ll devour you, Addie. Every inch. Your tits.” I run my hand down the curve of her ass. “This ass.” Then I shift closer until she can feel the effect she has on me. With my mouth to her ear, I whisper, “Your pussy…” I run my nose along her jaw, smiling when I hear the unevenness of her breaths. “I won’t leave an inch of you untouched. And in the end, it still won’t be enough.”

3.5 stars
Liam by Jay McLean is an emotional, character-driven story about two broken people finding healing and unexpected joy. I was immediately pulled in by the strong start and McLean’s effortless storytelling—her writing flows beautifully, making it easy to get lost in the pages.
While I didn’t fully feel the romantic chemistry between Liam and Addie, I still enjoyed watching them confront their past and grow. Their journey felt raw and real, even if the romance left me wanting more.
The true standouts? The Preston family and the incredible side characters. Being reunited with familiar faces from earlier books was a highlight—it felt like coming home. McLean once again reminds me why she’s my favorite new adult romance author.

A childhood enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story with drama, angst and emotion, Jay McLean has once again given us a story that had me laughing, hurting, falling in love and feeling everything, and kept me absolutely captivated. This is such a beautiful story of redemption, family, and finding your place, and I loved it.
This is the fourth book in the Preston Brothers series, and I was so freaking excited to be back in this world! I love this family so much and loved getting to know Liam. He is one of the younger Preston Punks, a twin to Lincoln and one of the quieter brothers, an introvert who struggles with anxiety, he has the biggest heart, and I instantly loved him.
Liam and Addie knew each other as children. He always crushed on her, but a dramatic twist in their story saw Addie become his tormenter. She teased and bullied him mercilessly, turning him into a target at their school, and it impacted Liam’s entire life, changing him, driving him even more into himself and making him forever mistrustful. Addie left town at 14 and Liam thought he’d seen the last of her, but when she reappears back in town five years later and is working for his family, no less, he’ll have to face up to his past in a way that he never wanted.
Addie’s life has been one heartbreak after another. She’s finally found some stability and peace when she decides to travel back home for the summer to spend time with her estranged brother. Quinn works for the Preston family, and he hooks her up with a job for the summer, but she had no idea she would be all up close and personal with Liam Preston all over again. She blames him for her life spiralling out of control and is horrified that they’re going to be working so closely.
It's an angsty ride from the very beginning for these two. Of course we’re all going to be feeling for Liam, and I was so mad at Addie in the beginning – how dare she hurt our boy? But there’s more to the story, and as it all slowly unravels, I came to care for her so much. She’s been through hell, and it helps that she’s genuinely mortified and remorseful over her actions in the past, and she sets about making it right and moving forward, which I appreciated. But most of all, she’s lively and she’s fun, and as she and Liam become friends, she brings him out of his shell in a way that nobody else has been able to, and the change in him is so beautiful to see.
I was loving the story, so invested in these two becoming friends, Addie being welcomed into the family, and them slowly starting to fall for each other. But then they start to really unpack the past, and holy clusterfuck! The full picture of all that’s happened, and Addie’s trauma, is revealed slowly throughout the story, and OMG, it hurt! Jay McLean writes emotion so well, and we know she loves the angst, but I have to say that in this one, the devastation and emotion felt a bit too much. Like come on, how much can somebody endure? When will these two get a break? My heart broke, and I read with a heavy heart, desperate for these two to find their happy place.
Lightness comes from the slow burning romance, which is so beautifully written, and so well deserved as they Liam and Addie on each other through it all. And, of course, there are the highlights of the book spent with the Preston clan. This is such a close-knit bunch; they tease and laugh, they bicker and play and roughhouse, but they have each other’s backs without question, and the way they rally around Liam, and Addie (and her incredibly family by extension) is absolutely magical.
You can read this book a standalone, just know that there is a lot of family involvement in this one, and there are glimpses of some of the More Than characters too, and I loved seeing them again.
This is such a beautiful read, full of all of the feels, humour, and coming-of-age drama that I love from a Jay McClean book, and I loved this story so much. It looks like Lincoln’s story may be up next, and I can’t wait to get my hands on that one.
4.5 stars.

“I like being around you in general, but more than anything, I like the way being around you makes me feel. I don’t think you realize how grateful I am to you for pushing me. For forcing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to see the world differently. I want – no, I need someone like you in my life, and I really want that someone to be you.”

ALL THE STARS... A MILLION STARS...
There will never be enough stars to show how much I loved this book!
I have loved the Preston punks for as long as I can remember. And when I saw that Liam was getting his story, I could have hugged Jay for this. Jay writes characters with so much depth, and the storyline will keep you going until the end. There is something so sweet about seeing these characters grow up through the stories and the series they are in. Liam makes an appearance in More Than Forever, Lucas, Logan, and Leo (the Preston siblings that have a book already).
Liam is one of my favorite characters Jay has written. The depth of his character makes him so special. I felt my heart break for the little boy you see in this story, and the way he is now shows the strength he has. I love the way the family all comes together when they are needed. No questions asked. They show up!
Addie is a girl who is trying to get redemption from being the scared little girl that she was. Her story is what makes her the pillar of strength! She has this way about her that makes Liam's mind slow down.
Liam and Addie have a connection that is unmatched.
And I swear Addie is the perfect match for him and the calm to his storm, as he is for her.
This story is one of my favorites! I love this family and the way they love hard and with everything they have!

A layered, emotional romance that lingers long after the last page.
This emotional new adult romance is about two people navigating their own wounds—both carrying burdens with her past being especially heavy.
“Hatred… Hatred comes in waves.
But love? Love is a tsunami.”
Addie comes from a broken family, with scars that run deep, yet through the course of the book, she not only begins to heal but also finds her own strength and the family she’s always deserved.
Liam is one of the brothers in a big loving and fun family. His relationship with his twin brother adds another layer of depth, as both are on their own journey of self-discovery and identity. He has cared for Addie since they were kids however it was not easy to do so. His love for Addie isn’t loud; it’s steady, intentional, and endearing.
“I’ve waited fifteen years for you, Addie. I’d wait a hundred and fifteen more.”
The plot is layered, emotional, and Every character, from the main couple to the side characters, is woven into the story with care, creating a world that feels both intimate and real. You don’t just root for the couple—you root for everyone.
This romance read is about Liam and Addie’s relationship but also about healing, acceptance, and choosing your own path even when life hasn’t made it easy.
It’s a reminder that sometimes love doesn’t just find you—it rebuilds you.
“I may not understand your pain, but I know that I’m brave enough to carry some of it.”
This book is also an example of why Jay McLean is one of my unicorn authors as I devour everything she writes, and Liam reminded me exactly why.

“I’ve waited fifteen years for you, Addie. I’d wait a hundred and fifteen more.”
The plot is layered, emotional, and Every character, from the main couple to the side characters, is woven into the story with care, creating a world that feels both intimate and real. You don’t just root for the couple—you root for everyone.
This romance read is about Liam and Addie’s relationship but also about healing, acceptance, and choosing your own path even when life hasn’t made it easy.

“I like to refer to it as The Addie Effect.”
I want to gush about how much I loved Liam and Addie, but first I have to say this. Jay Felicia McLean, you did NOT just end the book like that. MA’AM I screamed. Ok back to my review.
I absolutely loved Liam. This book made me feel all of the feels and some feels I didn’t expect to feel. Emotional. Guy wrenching. Heartwarming. I swear Jay always makes the love and life the stories hurt so good before you reach that happiness part. Like once her characters get there you are truly rooting for them because they’ve “earned/worked for” the love, family, friendships, and happiness that they now have.
Getting to heal and love with Addie and Liam was everything. Getting to do it while also being back with the Preston family and seeing so many beloved characters from More Than and others… sigh. It just. It never ever gets old reading a Jay book. If you love emotional reads set in small towns or set in a friend group/family, then I absolutely recommend this book, this series, or anything that Jay has written to be quite honest.
The angst of it all.

It was great to be back with the Preston fam oh how I’ve missed them 🥲 I couldn’t wait to see where Liam’s story would go especially after that last chapter in not made to last. That connection between the two books is crazyyy Jay is a mastermind. But wow I adored Liam and Addie and even though I was prepared for an emotional rollercoaster I in fact was not actually prepared 😃 One thing Jay will always do is break your heart, put it back together then break it again to then officially put it back together because duh if the characters are gonna go through it then so are we.
I did not expect to relate to Liam so much. I saw so much of myself in him and that made me want to cry more. When he talked about being lonely and what he does when he’s mad, and just so many of his inner thoughts were so relatable. He is literally a golden retriever and one thing he’s always gonna do is put others first before himself 😭 he’s so selfless but also I just wanted him to put his feelings first but like I get it Liam I get it ❤️🩹
Then Addie omg can I jump in and give her a hug. Can I give them both a hug?! 🥺 She’s so strong and I’m so happy she now has Liam and all the Preston’s in her life because she deserves to finally have the family she wants 🫶🏻 these two will put you through it but it’s a ride that is 100% worth it.
I love them.
Can’t wait for Lincoln’s book. Can’t believe there’s just two more brothers to go I never want to say goodbye 🥹

Well, i certainly wasn't expecting that out of Liam. There was so much more depth to his character and my favorite parts were the "twinning" with Lincoln.
And I wasn't sure how Liam could come to terms with what Adelaide (Addie) did to him, pretty much changing his whole life, but he did and then got involved into all her other traumas.
The good thing we get to meet more interesting characters and get more on Roman (and Heidi - sort of). And I did enjoy all the little twists that connect everything together.
And that ending? OMG! I cannot wait for Lincoln's book!

I love the whole Preston family but sadly this was my least favorite in the series. I felt no attachment to these characters. Addie had so much trauma going on and honestly, I felt like she was coddled by everyone.

I love jay mclean. She’s one of my top authors ever and I can always trust on her to bring a good emotional romance read.
Addie and Liam were so cute<33 I loved them so much and felt so bad for everything they went through and my heart broke for both of them.
Although this couldn’t be more than 3.5 stars because honestly something did feel missing and I wasnt able to get attached to the characters live I’ve had the connection with her previous books so this is more of a me problem which I’m sure when i do a reread will enjoy more.
I’m excited to see what she writes next and I REALLLLYYYY want a Roman and Lincoln book🥺

Jay Freaking McLean (yes that is her official middle name, I am making it so) has done it again! She has written characters that so many of us can connect with. She has made us fall in love all over again!
Liam is a story about self redemption and forgiveness. About growth and find the strength to make the changes you need in yourself. Liam and Addie hated each other but after being forced in close proximity they are both learning how their actions and words towards each other, when they were younger, affected their lives in some pretty significant ways. I love how these two slowly come together. I love how Liam learns that there is always a side to the story that you do not know, and even though they don’t change what happened, it does help giver perspective on why. I love his relationship with Mia and Benny.
This book has all the angst, build, hard life lessons, character growth, mental health issues, and love that Jay McLean always brings to the table.

“The pursuit of perfection includes redemption … and redemption is realizing you’re imperfect.��
OH MY HEART!!! OH MY SOUL!!! I can’t stop feeling Liam—the latest sensation in the Preston Brothers saga—that’s living rent-free in my head and heart. I drowned in this romance that I read with tears in my eyes and so much love inside. Jay McLean blew me away with her masterful writing. And don’t tell me that Addie, Liam and the Prestons aren’t real. These characters reside deep in my heart and soul.
A moving young adult to new adult romance, Liam stars two broken but brave soulmates who make each other whole. I broke for the hero and heroine. Addie and Liam are undeniable. I felt their deep chemistry and connection through the pages.
“He’s the calm to my storm, even when I don’t feel the raindrops.”
I need all the red hot tension and oh did this book deliver that and more! My favorite part after all the intense, push-and-pull moments, Liam finally says, “F it,” and kisses Addie with a kiss that could scorch the earth. These are the moments and kind of romances I live for: utterly breathless, heart-beating-out-of-my-chest, turning point scenes that truly make a love story.
This story is so special, one of strength and salvation that sparkles with love, light. and friends and family who forever have your back. I couldn’t help but applaud its valuable messages of battling the painful past and finding the beauty in the broken. Flying after falling. Rising by lifting others. Daring to dream. And, most importantly: true love always prevailing.
“Slithers of light have to exist in order to know what darkness is.”
Liam sank itself into my heart where I felt its emotional pull, a paralyzing zap that surged straight to my soul, owning every part of me. Oh did I burn for this book that’s so heartbreakingly beautiful and bravely told. I wasn’t just reading Liam; I was living it too. This spellbinding love story was my breath, my beauty, my hope, my heartbreak and my everything.
I felt every word ... I still feel it all. I couldn’t love it and feel it enough. Liam and the Preston Boys series are simply unforgettable … perfectly imperfect. A top 2025 romance and series worth all the sunsets and shining stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but worth all the brightest stars in the darkest sky

I was beyond ready for the next installment of The Preston Brothers series and Liam did not disappoint!
This series is New Adult and covers some very heavy topics, so please check trigger warnings.
Ever read a book where the FMC (Addie) purposely made sure the MMC (Liam) was bullied when they were kids? Made worse by the fact that Liam had a huge crush on her at the time? I surely haven't and I was interested to see how this would go.
Addie was just lashing out to try to get some control over her life, but her actions had a deep negative impact on Liam. Unbeknownst to Liam, Addie was really really hurting and eventually she went into the foster care system and she moved away.
Despite their history when she returns to town Liam can't stay away from her. Granted they end up working in the same cabin.
Liam and Addie reconnecting and reading about their relationship and overcoming their past was a joy. This book made me smile and as always with a Preston Brothers book it made me cry too.
The whole Preston family has their hooks dug into me and I love catching up with them whenever there is a new book.
Thank you to Jay McLean and Wordsmith Publicity for providing me with an advanced review copy.

I’ve loved this entire series for years, and Leo has always held the top spot for me in the spinoff but Liam is officially tied for number one. There’s truly not a single bad thing I can say about this book. There’s trauma, lots of love, and healing and it was all written so gracefully. Jay McLean writes her characters with such care and depth, and it amazes me how distinct and truly unforgettable each one is.
I want to be a part of the Preston family so badly. Tom? He’s basically raised me too at this point. This series is what I aspire to have in a family—messy, loving, loyal, welcoming and deeply connected. I even found myself jealous of their bond.
This book had me laughing AND crying (bawling). Adelaide’s story broke me, and Liam is the biggest, softest teddy bear with a heart of gold.
Now I’ll just be over here manifesting Lincoln’s book because I am not ready to let go of this family yet and I just know he’s going to be hilarious.

The More Than/Preston world stays one of my favourite places. Reading Liam reminded me just how much I love these characters. The cameos, and their banter was everything! Liam and Addie... I liked them together as a couple but I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of self-reflection both of them had. How they eventually faced their mistakes head on. Liam wasn't as tumultuous as the previous books in terms of angst and emotions but the story wasn't any less beautiful. I felt this sense of tranquility that I might not be able to explain, but it was very welcomed. It was like Jay knew this was the kind of story that I needed. I can't wait to see what she brings to the table next. The small teasing at the end had me, not for the first time, screaming. And *cough* Roman *cough* full length *cough* I love him.

Jay McLean is a one click author for me & books like Liam are why. This one is book 4 in the series and I loved catching up with all the Prestons. I adore this family.
For me this is a story of two damaged people with very real issues who slowly help the other heal. Being in each other’s life in some capacity since they were babies definitely brings history - both good and bad.
I enjoyed the slower burn of this one, it felt more genuine. This book has it all - heartbreaking moments, LOL moments and plenty of angst. Definitely recommend.

Oh how I have missed the Preston’s!!
Liam and Addie definitely broke my heart and had me ugly crying for so much of their story. The best thing about this book though was all of the redemption and growth that they all went through.
This series is absolutely incredible and I’m so glad we’re back in their lives again. I have missed Jay’s writing so much but getting to revisit one of my favorite families of all time is the highlight of my month. That ending though…. I’m already so excited for the next one!

Great love story between characters that both had to overcome a lot in their (shared) past. I love how they found their way, but somehow, a side character stole the show and my heart; Roman. I got excited when he was on the page, and I can only hope he will get his own book. After everything he did, he deserves his happy ending as well. I LOVED how many familiar characters were in this as it feels like coming home.

Liam is the 4th book in the Preston Brother series. It was really great. It was heartbreaking but healing. Liam and Addie have known one another for a very long time and disliked one another most of that time. The whole story is beautiful and the family is everything. I love every character in this story. Jay keeps the story flowing so well that you never want it to end. It's full of heartbreak, but it's one of strength and growing up. You never truly understand what someone is going through.
I can't give this story and the characters enough stars. Bravo to Jay for giving us another unforgettable story.

Liam is a must read! I seriously loved every second of this book. Liam and Addie’s story is amazing and heartbreaking all at once. They both went through so much in their childhoods, and it made me root for them even more. I felt every emotion right along with them. I’m already counting down the days until I can read Lincoln’s story next!

I feel like I say this with each one of the Prestons but y’all…I just love this family. Their struggles and wins are all heartbreaking and heartwarming. They just make me want to hug them & celebrate their wins with them. They aren’t just stories that Jay creates they are sentiments, emotions, cathartic experiences.
Liam & Addie are no different from the others. I’m not going to lie there was a point in their story where I could’ve just said F off Addie & Wyatt for some of Liam’s past hurts but then Jay freaking ripped my heart out and had me planning how their futures could be better…newsflash Jay takes care of that for us too 🤫
My heart hurt so much for Liam & Addie. Their struggles for forever is sad, beautiful, messy, healing and well fought for🥺❤️🩹
I need so many more stories now! Definitely need Roman, maybe a novella with Griffin & Dayna?? lol and I kinda need a Tom story too;) But that cliffy has me needing Linc’s asap!

More of Liam
I love this series but I was very disappointed with Liam’s story because it was more about Adelaide than it was about Liam. I felt that the other stories focused on the boys and the female characters were a bonus but this book was all about her and just like Liam was left alone as a character in these stories, the author did the same. All and all I love the family and I look forward to the others.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this had been released and thoroughly enjoyed diving back into the Preston's world. I think Liam and Addie complemented each other perfectly. Looking forward to reading Lincoln's story next, especially after that ending.

Weakest ztoru
Weakest of the series. It was a great to have a book that connected Of jay's Previous characters. But this story felt a little flat and contrived. Liam was very different Than how he had been in the other books. The story is fairly predictable and boring. I finished it but the book didn't engagement like many of Jays other stories. This one was.forced.

Buckle up as this story takes your emotions for a ride. I hold a soft spot for Liam & Addie and what they overcame. What made this book for me was family. The Preston Family is life. Their heart only matched by their humor. They love big and you feel all of it.

Since I’ve just recently started the Preston brothers series, I thankfully didn’t have to wait 4 years for this book. I could read the first three and then instantly pick up this book 4. And I’m glad for that. I was curious about the twins from the previous books and I’m glad we’re getting to know them a little better now. Liam was a pure soul. He was deeply hurt from the bullying he endured when he was young and I completely understood his hesitation and anger and distrust that he felt towards Addie when she returns to his life. And whilst it is eventually explained why Addie did what she did, and Liam understood and forgave her - I honestly felt like the reason was just a little underwhelming and weak. But hey, they were kids and there were bigger things going on, especially for Addie. I will admit that this wasn’t really a favourite of mine - I still liked Addie and Liam and the whole Preston bunch, but story wise, this one was just probably my least favourite from the series so far. I am intrigued by Lincoln’s book next - the epilogue teased his story and it sounds interesting so hopefully it won’t be too long before that comes out.
