Preston Brothers #2
Logan
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?

5+ stars!!!
Oh Logan Preston! I’ve been wishing and hoping for your book from the moment I first met you… I didn’t know what to expect with this book, but it was so much more than I thought it would be. It still was a lot of fun and had some laughs, but it was also deep, real, and raw. It really spoke to me. Logan’s story moved me and I loved it to pieces!
Logan is the middle child in the Preston bunch, the funny kid who's kind of an asshole. Now he’s an adult. He’s a high school drop out who loves to get high. He’s the one in his family with no direction. Logan spends his weeks working construction with his dad, and his weekends partying and getting high. Then he meets Aubrey and things start to change.
Logan can be read as a stand-alone, but you will get more out of it if you read Lucy’s book (More Than Forever) and Lucas’s book (Lucas) before reading it. And OMG please please please tell me we are getting a Lachy book sometime in the future?!?! Lachy and his relationship with Miss. Red totally made the book! Actually, all the Prestons did! It was wonderful catching up with Lucy, Cam, Logan’s dad, and all the other Preston boys!
Jay always makes me feel when I read one of her books, but she also makes me laugh and smile. She is one of the only authors I have read that have that quality. Her books are all-consuming and perfect for a reader like me. Logan made me laugh, made me cry, and made me FEEL. It was a story of healing, family, friendship, and love. It’s an unforgettable read and going on my favorites list for 2017!

I am lost. I am high, floating. I am low, beneath the earth’s surface. I am night. She is day. I am darkness. She is light… Aubrey kisses me again. And she is hope.
“What if we try, Red? What if we try, and what if that was all I could promise you? Will that be enough?”Sigh… I love Logan and Aubrey together so much. Their story is not an easy one to read. It’s not all light and fun. There is so much emotion, depth, and it’s down right gut-wrenching at times… my heart was in my throat and I was a wreck while reading parts of this book, but by the end, I was such a happy reader. You + Me = the perfect book. I was shocked by some of the elements in this story, and I’m going to leave my review a little on the vague side. You’ll want to discover Logan all on your own.

➦Well, I can say that this was only my second book by Jay McLean and I'm officially a fan. Admittedly, I loved this second installment of the series more than the first - there was just something about Logan that enabled me to connect with his character on a deep level. Logan...
➦He's a very misunderstood hero and I'm a big sucker for those. And the way he finds a connection with a girl who he never would have given a second glance, someone who he knows and actually dislikes, was very unexpected and, frankly, hilarious. The beginning of their relationship was filled with laugh out loud moments with tons of witty banter. These two cracked me up and I loved them instantly.
➦The second part of this novel kind of wrecked me, to be honest. It was heartbreaking finding out what is really hiding behind Logan's bravado. And yeah, I bawled my eyes out. But it was so worth it - I completely loved the crazy Preston family, pig (don't ask) and the romance between two broken characters. If you're a fan of new adult books and emotional reads, definitely pick this one up asap!!!

Once upon a time....There was a superhero with fiery-red hair. Some people described the colour of her hair as scarlet. She had an upturned nose with freckles all across it. In her village she was known as The Red Raven...In the same village as Red Raven lived a boy. A boy who had a past that no one knew of... This is their story...
‘LOGAN:’ is the second book within the ‘Preston Brothers’ series by Jay Mclean. Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’ Even though this is part of a series it can be read as a standalone though characters do cross over you can keep up with the happenings in this book.
I am so glad Jay gave us Logan’s story, his is the one I was most anticipating, and couldn’t wait to read. Logan Preston is the middle child, the high school drop out, and who everyone seems to have an opinion about, the man-whore, and stoner around town. He’s the only one in the family that’s coasting through life, no direction, no ambition to want to do anything with this life other than getting high. Week days he works alongside his father in the family business in construction, weekends he parties too hard and gets high off his face. But what no one knows is that Logan is harbouring a deep, dark, secret that not even his family knows, getting high of mary stops the memories flooding his mind.
They consume him, destroy him, control him.
I inhale and inhale and chop. lick and roll, chop, lick and roll just so I can inhale and inhale some more.
When I smoke, I sleep through the night. When I smoke, I never have regrets. When I smoke, I am weightless. Not just physically, but mentally.
"One day.." Aubrey whispers.
"I'll be your Mary, Logan. I'll be the one to take away your pain."
Everything changes when a new girl comes to town (Aubrey aka Red) with the fiery redder than red hair, with just a suitcase and an inheritance she moves into a house she’d never viewed, licking wounds left on her soul from vicious words spoken by an ex. But slowly she's pulled into the Preston fold, and the lonely girl who walked into town turns into a girl loved by a family of Preston's.
These two rub each other the wrong way, “You look like a leprechaun.” “You smell like a venereal disease.” but slowly just slowly they rub each other the right way, she sees beyond the lost damaged stoner.
God where to start, this definitely put me through the wringer and had me questioning my sanity because one minute I’d be swooning, laughing, sighing and in the next heart beat I’d have leaky eye syndrome. Logan’s story isn’t full of unicorns farting glitter, it’s raw, it's emotional, it’s unconventional, it’s heartbreaking, this had me feeling every emotion this author threw at me with Logan’s story. This is not an easy book to read, it's not sugar coated, it's real, it's disturbing, it's addictive, epicly unputdownable in it's entirety.
Jay became one of my most highly recommended authors when it comes to recommending books that throw the feels at you, no one compares!! #QUEENOFFEELS!! If you're wanting a feels good to read series that is unputdownable get one clicking this author's MORE series, you can not find any other author that throws us emotionally charged books like these. This series also comes highly recommended!!

"You + Me "
Logan Preston is one of Lucy Preston’s six siblings (I just love Lucy & Cam - Please read their book you haven't!). Logan’s the black sheep of the family and has been surpressing traumatic memories with drug use. He’s never been in love, works for the family business, and is very intrigued by his hook-up girl Joy’s friend, Aubrey. Aubrey is the new girl in town running her own business and has one hell of a likable personality.
Aubrey’s been burned badly by love and so her feelings for Logan and the fear of scaring him away keep this relationship on a slow-build totally realistic speed for most of the book.
There is a big reveal that happens later in the book that for me wasn’t needed (though I get how there had to be a reason for the drug use etc.) I was enjoying the couple’s fall into love, Aubrey’s relationship with little Lachlan and the whole Preston clan. Still, what Logan is hiding and trying to conceal does come to light and it’s a dozy of a scenario for him and Aubrey. That’s all a reader will get out of me…
Overall, this story was a five star beginning, then somewhere in the middle to end of the book it kind of fell off a bit for me. Yet Jay McLean delivers adorable banter, love, and redemption once again.

✮✮✮ 5 STARS ✮✮✮ ALL THE FEELS ✮✮✮
Did you hear that? That was Jay McLean shredding my heart.
There have been so many fantastic books this year and it's impossible to name one favorite but LOGAN is definitely among the top five of 2017. This book is also one of the hardest I've read in recent years and because of the theme one of the most important ones.
It's challenging to sort through my feelings for Logan and Aubrey and write a somewhat coherent and spoiler-free review.
Logan is the Preston brother who just seems to go with the flow, without direction in his life. His favorite pastime seems to be getting high on marijuana but that would be simplifying it. Nobody really knows what's festering inside him.
When Aubrey, the girl with the scarlet hair and freckles, moves into town Logan doesn't see her wounded soul. In fact, these two clash and are verbally at each other's throat at every chance. But slowly, slowly, slowly they find that they have more in common than they thought.
Following Aubrey's and Logan's journey to You + Me is delightful and sprinkled with hilarious moments, and gut wrenching when everything escalates and the house of cards he built, held together with spit and baling wire, comes crashing down.
Logan's one of the tortured heroes you can't stay mad at. I tried when my heart was dragged over a cheese grater by the author but to no avail. I loved him, despite him playing unfair and lashing out. His smiles and laughter are an illusion and underneath his skin the wound never healed. But he is also sweet and affectionate. He was perfectly imperfect, he left me raw and hurting for him.
Aubrey was a wonderful heroine who had her own demons to battle and she often was her own worst enemy. Her need to protect herself by not showing how much Logan means to her is crushing and sad, but she is also forgiving if the person deserves it. She pulled my heartstrings with a deep-seated loneliness and fear of getting hurt again.
We are re-united with the rest of the Preston family and while I love each and everyone of them Lachy and his dad have a special place in my heart. The way the youngest Preston brother connected with Aubrey was moving, touching, heart-warming. This little one is wise beyond his years yet allowed to be a kid because his whole family goes to great lengths to make it so. They are such a solid support system and safety net that you know, even if things seem hopeless, everything will be OK in the end. I also hope for a story for Tom - even though his wife was the love of his life...if somebody can do a story about him justice it's Jay.
Ms. McLean impressed me with LUCAS last year. This year she upped the ante and I am so thankful that she gave me the chance to read and review this little masterpiece of New Adult romance. The author combines the dry humor I love so much with visceral storytelling and if you want to hop on an emotional roller coaster there is no better ride than this one.
LOGAN is the second in the PRESTON BROTHERS series and can be read as a standalone.

I absolutely adore this author, because she is responsible for writing my all-time favorite book, "More Than Forever" , but to be honest... I have loved reading every single one of her books !! I think this book can be read as a stand-alone, but I would strongly advice everyone to read the "More Than" series first. It's an amazing series and it's where I first met little Logan. You should also give the first book in this series, "Lucas" a go... I promise you won't be sorry !!
But like I said... this book is all about Logan, and I have wanted to read his story, from the moment I met him ;)
I had absolutely no idea where this story was gonna go...all I knew was that it would be amazing and it was. I was also heartbreaking, sad, and beautiful.
Logan is the middle child of the Preston family, he is also the bad boy, so to say. Nobody really seems surprised by his behavior anymore. He sees himself as the "disappointment" of the family and he is pretty sure, they all see him this way.
He quit school after he got his high school diploma, and he now works construction in the family business. He doesn't have any real friends, except for his brothers, and all he does on the weekends is partying and hooking up. He is also a big stoner. He gets high on Marijuana...or "Mary" as he calls it.. a lot.
Logan has never been interested in relationships, like his brother Luke and his brother in law Cam. The only relationship he cares to have, outside his family, is with "Mary" .
That's all about to change though... because Logan's life is about to turn upside down by Aubrey.
All it took was one girl..... One night.
Now I don't want to give too much of the storyline away. I loved reading it and feeling all the emotions, and let me tell you, I felt a lot of them !!
I don't want to spoiler that experience for anyone.
I always figured Logan was a laid back kind of guy and I thought his story would be as well. Boy was I wrong !!! There is so much more to this man than I ever thought.
"What's beneath the bravado, Logan Preston ? "
This book put me through the wringer. I was on an emotional high while reading this. To say they didn't have it easy, would be an understatement.
There were parts that broke my heart to pieces, and there were moments when I lost hope for both Logan and Aubrey.
But I guess I forgot for a second, that they are not alone. They might have felt like they were alone though...especially Logan, because he kept his darkness all to himself. But this is the "Preston" family we are talking about !! They are always there for one another and I was so happy for Logan when he could finally let go.....
Now I want to give some major credit to little Lachlan. I loved him so much in this book. He is such an awesome kid.
Was this story gut-wrenching at times... yes it was, but it was also funny and sweet and filled with hope.
"You know, for a guy who thinks that romance is dead, you sure are romantic, Logan-no-middle-name Preston."
"Only because you believe Red". "In me."
I hope Jay McLean will write many more books in this series. I will devour them all and I can't wait to see which brother is gonna be next.. my money is on Leo ;)

Another binge read for me. ☺️ Please note, this is rated R for language and overall hottie hotness!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those Preston punks are the best!! While I enjoyed Logan’s story (book 2), I just think that Lucas (book 1) was a bit better. Still Hot, yes, with a capital H. 😍 This has so much angst and heartbreak. Total book crack. ❤️

I'm struggling to write my review for this book because it was just so phenomenal I'm not sure the words I can come up with are enough. So I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I always love Jay's writing, but Logan was next level for me. Logan was the perfect new adult romance read, with a deeply emotional and REAL side. with that perfect dose of family that Jay always weaves in. It was deeply emotional. Dark at times, and definitely WILL make you uncomfortable. It is angsty, sexy, fun, and so real. It was honestly everything. If emotions were bases Jay successfully tags each one with Logan.
That being said, Logan is troubled "bad boy player" done oh so right. I'm so glad we got a glimpse beneath the bravado.
Side note - I realize I'm an adult and have a family of my own, but can I be adopted by the Preston's? Please? The Preston's are THAT family. You know the one who gives you exactly what you need when you didn't even know it. Hell. I'm not even sure they realize they are THAT family or what exactly they do, but none the less they are THAT family. I think we should all strive to be that family because they are goals.

➳Not going to lie... I am a tad bit disappointed with this novel...
I am not the biggest fan of angsty romance novels, but there are some here and there that I truly welcome with open arms and am able to tolerate. Knowing how much I adore Jay Mclean's past stories, I thought this one would not be an exception. I was wrong... Maybe it's the taste in writing I now have, or the way I read things with a different meaning, more suspenseful, and more MEANINGFUL in contrast prior of how I did before. Logan has a past in which is not only dragged through the ENITRE story, but is also always mentioned about. I get it when a character with a deep dark past has issues of his/her own that cannot seem to be conquered, but in this case with Logan, he just kept going through the same distractions of going through weed for help, or finding another outlet such as Aubrey.
In this case I embrace and accept the warm heating way he tries to conquer her even though he had never noticed her in the past, but when he finally does, his past never seems to run away. Aubrey is not innocent when it comes down to having a perfect life, as she, herself has had problematic anecdotes of a dark past as well. The inner message I got from this novel is that even though you may find someone with a broken heart, someone who has gone through the worst in life and is still living, but not ACTUALLY living, there will always be someone else out there for you to accept you for the way you are. And that is how Aubrey accepts Logan, with tender understanding and love.
Overall, I did not enjoy the book as much as I did, since it basically just kept dragging about absolutely everything... Something that now, I cannot tolerate. Will I read Jay's next books in the Preston Brother's series? Maybe, since Leo is next on the list and I want to know more about him... I highly DO NOT recommend this book if you are looking for something sweet, but if you are looking for something sad and wide range, then this might be your cup of tea...

4.5 stars⭐
The problem with waiting half a month after finishing a book to write a review-> you forget half the plot and characters, so this won't be a proper review.
Trigger warnings:
Logan is the second book in Jay McLeans series about the Preston brothers, and although I wasn't too fond of the first book, I liked Logan and Aubreys story.
Being the black sheep of the family, you know there's more to Logans story than he lets on. But Logan is secretive, and doesn't let anyone get too close to him. Pretending he doesn't care about anything so nothing can bother him, he seems to be cruising through life without a care.
Until Aubrey moves into town.
At first glance the two characters seem as different as night and day, but as the story evolves we learn that they have a lot more in common than you'd think. Starting off their relationship with bickering and trading insults, the two start to find comfort in each other without even knowing it.
There's no way of explaining how well Jays writing style goes with Logans character, and how well she portrays someone who struggles with inner demons. That alone makes the book worth reading.
Just be prepared for a lot of crying. And I don't mean you crying, I mean Aubrey crying. A lot. All the time.

“You want to get out of here?”
“Yeah.”
There's no way of explaining how well Jays writing style goes with Logans character, and how well she portrays someone who struggles with inner demons. That alone makes the book worth reading.
Just be prepared for a lot of crying. And I don't mean you crying, I mean Aubrey crying. A lot. All the time.

I'm super pissed.
Let me start off by saying this book was amazing pretty much the entire book....but then we get to to root of the whole entire conflict of the book and everything falls apart.
I will say I completely felt bad about what happened to Logan, but since this is only a book I can 100% say he was a piece of shit. He treated the heroine terribly, cheated on her while high, accuses her of things, and when it's all over she gets a piece of shit letter saying he didn't know what he was doing when it happened and "he didn't do it to hurt her, he did it to hurt himself". No groveling, she forgives him after four months the first time she sees him.
Some people, given the situation, might be able to overlook what Logan did. But I can't, especially because before he cheated on her, hours earlier but still high, he pushes a girl off and says he has a girlfriend. What was the point of the author making him push that girl away if she was going to have him cheat on the heroine hours later??????????????? He didn't just kiss another girl, he had sex with her. Probably no condom either. It ruined a five star book for me and I'm so pissed about it.
Also I didn't understand the first part of the epilogue and couldn't get behind their HEA. As soon as they get back together, the epilogue is the next chapter. No closure for me, no groveling, no nothing.
It seems like there was all this buildup to the climax, then everything just plummets.
The one good and true character about this book was Lachlan. I loved him!
Overall, I'm just so disappointed.

"Fee-fi-fo-fum..."
I was really looking forward to the Preston brother wild child, Logan. I wanted to find out what in the hell is going on with him and boy, did I get my wish...and then some.
In fact, I'm not all that happy with knowing. And I'm not talking about the "cause" although that and the twist were a bit much. It was his love affair with Mary.
I hated Mary and I really came to hate all things Mary. I really hated how he went on and on about Mary. And I absolutely hated the ride Mary...and her friends took him on. That was a hard pill to swallow and I felt like Aubrey was way too easy on him.
Aubrey was an interesting character but I liked how she lived to her own beat. I'm just not sure that I was won over with the reasons the past influenced her so much. And I definitely felt like she didn't make Logan pay enough for what he did.
That being said, I really liked Logan more at the end. He grew up...finally. It will be interesting to see how things go in the future books with him.
I was disappointed that we didn't get more of the other brothers...that witch Mary took over everything! ;) We hardly got to know the twins any better but at least Leo had a bit more page time. It does seem like his book will be next.
And as always Lachlan totally stole the show. I love how he is growing up and his interests. I know his book will be last but I can hardly wait!

I feel like every time I read and then try to review a Jay McLean book I always say "this books was my favotite"...or "this book was so different." I even say that "this book was so much MORE." Well, again I find myself in the same place. I find myself having read a book and again finding more than just good writing...more than just another good story. See, in the written words on McLean's pages, she not only brings a rivoting story and characters who burrow deep into your mind and heart, but she also gives a realism that makes you feel like no other.
I was prepared for Logan Preston, wasn't I? I already felt right at home, like maybe I could be sitting around doing some mayhem...hanging with the Preston Punks. I was ready to return to Lucas and Laney's love, Leo's drive, Liam and Lincoln's twinese, and Lachlan' s sweet humor. I had no idea what was beneath the bravado of Logan Preston. I had no idea the depth of heartbreak...the guilt...the need for air. I was not prepared for Aubrey/Miss Red and Lo. Nope I was just an innocent reader who wanted to read a fictional story but got rocked by a love story full of hazy moments of floating painful truths.
I inhaled the moments just as Logan did and I felt the hopelessness and the buzz of nothing. I also exhaled at the presence of a girl who never felt good enough yet was everything. Whether finding a new home...family...or even intimacy...this journey isn't the typical boy meets girl next door trope. It is true McLean genius but again, it is MORE. Logan Preston will light up your mind and crush your heart. His story will resonate true for many...and it will hurt. At the end of his story there will be hope and there will be clarity. There is a deeper message that some things are worth fighting for even when the fight is hard and painful. There is a peace in knowing that Logan Preston could find his win from the depths of the darkest battlefield. At the end of the story, I praise Jay McLean and I thank her for continuing to deliver stories that aren't just good...but stories that matter.
Again I wrote a review and again I rang up the highest level of stars possible. I hope that it does justice to the work here. I hope I conveyed that 5 stars, while just a simple rating to me, doesn't seem to matter when the story is not just a story but a life lesson...a glimpse into the ugly of life...a guide to the beauty of forgiveness and love. Jay McLean slays with her craft.

Logan started off as a great read. It was introduced as a romance with a bit of angst, a teen love affair. It was a little magical at the beginning. A very enjoyable but small portion of the book.
It soon turned into a drama fest. The leads spent more time arguing than loving. Not only that, but as a spin off series, i felt that just too much was re-hashed, re-used. Same themes, words, jokes, people. And an attempt to cram them all in. Both the former and the latter took away too much from the romance.
I really disliked the inner-monologue of Logan while he was getting high, it was kind of gross, crass. He describes smoking weed as a relationship, calling weed Mary, psychedelic thoughts where she talks to him, controls him, makes love to him. It was really distasteful and heavily featured.
When the 77% mark hit, what Logan did was worse than our heroine's (Aubrey's) ex. And he was a scumbag. From then on i lost the little care left in me for the book. I skimmed to the end. It was a disappointment for sure. Logan went about everything the wrong way, made all the wrong choices, and didn't deserve Aubrey.
By the time the root of all the angst was revealed, the 'Oh so this is why he's messed up!' reveal, i didn't really care. I lost compassion for Logan, i didn't really want to see their relationship salvaged.
This one was totally lost on me. Drama without the feels, the 20 year old man whore, cheating, a hero that causes more pain in the heroine than love.... all things i try to avoid reading about.
Total miss.

Behind us, people start complaining that we're holding up the line. Lucy glares. "Would you chill the fuck out?"
The asshole behind me says, "Nice. You plan on kissing your baby with that filthy mouth sweetheart?"
If you ever want to see the fear in a man's eyes from the threats of six men, get him to say something shitty to the men's daughter/sister/wife. I step forward, "Say that again."
A woman mumbles, "Damn Preston Punks."

I'm kindly asking Jay McLean to adopt me into the Preston family.
Lucy needs a sister with all these crazy boys. With 1 girl, 6 boys and a single father, the testosterone level in that household is astronomically high, it needs to be balanced with some estrogen. I just want to help wherever I can yk.
Logan was a rollercoaster of emotions and definitely not an easy read. Logan is one of the few characters, that I wanted to slap and give the biggest hugs to at the same time. One of my pet peeves in romance is when the Hero of the story is a stoner/alcohol addict/drug addict. When I hear that the Hero is one of these things, I automatically thing he's a loser and I'm sorry. You could do so much with your life, get help, but instead you choose to spend it drunk/high out of your mind. Call me cold-hearted, it sounds really harsh and it's not as easy as it sounds I know, but I really can't stand these kind of characters in books. You can be a bully, an asshole, a freaking psycho for all I care, but I'm drawing a line at being a stoner/drug addict 🤣
Weirdly it's just something that annoys me when a guy does it, it doesn't apply to the girl (i know my hypocrite ass is speaking so don't come @ me) For that reason, I was surprised that it didn't bother me with Logan as much as I thought it would be. He's high all the time and needs marijuana more than air and I was only slightly bothered.
It helped that I guessed right from the start, why Logan is the black sheep of the family and acts the way he acts. Therefore, I could excuse a lot of his behaviour, until a certain point when the secret is out and Logan completely spins out of control and did something that I don't know if I can forgive so easily. I wanted to stay mad at Logan. I really wanted to rage & hate, but I couldn't because my heart was breaking for Logan at the same time. Throughout the whole book you can see how self-destructive Logan was, so when he apologized to Aubrey and said "I didn't do it to hurt you. I did it to hurt myself." I believed him. But it's still the reason why I couldn't give this book 5 stars, cause the day I give a book with THAT trope 5 stars it's the day I die.
Besides that, I really love Logan and Aubrey as characters and as a couple together. They worked well and I love couples who don't take themselves too serious and can poke fun of the other. Yup, I'm the weirdo who thinks it's super funny, if the main characters insult each other 😂
Now to the part where I NEED TO SCREAM. ✨LUCY AND CAMERON✨ OMFG OMFG OMFGOMFG!!!! *screams for the next eternity and beyond*
I started this series because I was missing Lucy and Cameron like crazy even tho I only reread their book More Than Forever recently. While they didn't had many scenes in Lucas, this book was a GOLDMINE. I'm telling you, I couldn't be more happy! All the Preston family scenes with the boys were ✨AMAZING✨. I loved every single scene, especially Aubrey and Lachlan's relationship! And Lachlan is still the best character and the best Preston out of them all no competition, but ohh my good I'm so happy for Lucy and Cameron. I can't really say what happened, because I don't want to spoil this book and I don't want to spoil More Than Forever for those who haven't read it, but basically Lucy and Cameron went through so much shit together and it was heartbreaking to read. So when Lucy told Logan that a MIRACLE happened, I literally screamed my lungs out, ngl I scared everyone in a 5 km radius.
While Logan and Aubrey's story is a very emotional one. It was a rollercoaster with lots of ups and downs, it didn't make me cry, BUT then the epilogue happened and it had something to do with Lucy and Cameron's miracle and I CRIED SO MANY HAPPY TEARS. The amount of times that I have read the epilogue… not something you would call healthy behavior.
(I'm Togepi in case it wasn't clear)
Now, lemme reread the epilogue for the 40392 times, it's not like I haven't memorized every line already yk.
P.S. Please Jay McLean I'm begging you one more time to adopt me into the Preston family.

"Whats beneath the bravado, Logan Preston?"
Logan is the second book in the 'Preston Brothers' series by Jay McLean.
This book is beyond what I expected. When I jumped into this book I was looking for a light and fun, swoon-worthy read, but this book was so much more, it was raw and real.
"I am lost. I am high, floating. I am low, beneath the earth’s surface. I am night. She is day. I am darkness. She is light… Aubrey kisses me again. And she is hope."
Logan is the black sheep in the family. He is always high on Mary (marihuana) and has dark secrets hidden beneath his carefree persona. He is so broken and he doesn't know what to feel anymore, he doesn't even know what he wants, but then Aubrey (Red) comes along. Red is the light to his darkness, she is the hope he never thought he had.
"One day…” Aubrey whispers. “I’ll be your Mary, Logan. I’ll be the one to take away your pain.”
Aubrey was everything Logan needed. She had just moved into town and owned a stationary shop. She is a weirdo with scarlet hair and weird outfits. She's been burned before which is why she has trust and self-esteem issues.
"You look like a leprechaun"
"You smell like a venereal"
"You wanna get out of here"
"Yeah"
Sigh...These two are so different but they have so much in common. I loved their playful bickering and Logan's thoughtfulness. Their sizzling chemistry made the pages burn and these two were just perfect together in the 'apple to my pie' way. They completed each other and I was so happy when they came out of their shells and took the steps necessary to become what they were meant to be together.
"I wonder if I should tell him that I saw him first. The very first night he hooked up with Joy, I saw him first. We were at a party. I pointed him out to her. He caught us watching him.
And he saw her first"
You broke my heart Miss. McLean, and honestly, I'm not even mad about it. This book made me laugh and cry and it definitely carved open my heart, and built a comfy place for itself in there. My heart broke for Logan and all that he had been through. The parts where he spoke to Mary felt so real, like if she was a person. Honestly, I even cried for him, and all that he had been through at such a young age. I really felt his pain. He was one of those broken, misunderstood characters that you couldn't help but love.
“I feel like I was destined to find you,” you murmured. My fingers paused on your spine. “I feel like you were destined to save me.”
I would rate this book more than 5 stars if I could. Bravo, Miss. McLean, you really did an amazing job with this book. This book made me laugh and cry and most importantly it made me feel

I enjoyed the book. Lachlan and Aubrey is the highlight of the book.
Logan was good too until he cheated. I know he was molested by Aubrey's father as a child and that's why he drowns himself with drugs. But he CHEATED and never groveled. Aubrey didn't even know what her father did. And no one acknowledged much that Logan cheated and Aubrey also overlooked it which is weird to me.
Other than this issue, it was entertaining. The banter between Aubrey and Logas was fun too. I really liked Lucy and Cameron. Laney and Lucas didn't make many appearances which I don't mind. I am not sure how I feel about the Preston boys. They are good, just nothing extraordinary.

SOMEONE PLS SAVE MY A** 🤧
I think I got Daddy issues too from this book
I mean can I just take a moment to appreciate Tom Preston?
Damn that man is a Supreme alpha male 😋🙊
Jokes apart,
Honestly , I think You can not be saved, only person who can save you is you, YOURSELF
I am glad Logan Saved Himself
I have a special place in my heart for the name "Red" Because of the Chasing Red series by Isabelle Ronin which I highly recommend
Red's aka Aubrey's character was so damn relatable
The girl next door
She is pretty but not the prettiest?
She is smart but not the smartest?
Who is not really good at interactions
The average everyday girl, whom you may not first notice but once you get to know her then you will be mesmerized
In so many places for so many reasons I tried to hate Logan, tried not to fall, but THERE was something in this guy you can not hate him, Like he is designed to be cared, he is designed to be loved,
He is like a little baby
You need to give him your trust and hold him tight and he will never fail you ❤
I really loved this book
And I am also looking forward to Read Leo and other books of Jay Mclean ❤ she is an amazing writer
I am glad I discovered her ❤
I think I got Daddy issues too from this book
I mean can I just take a moment to appreciate Tom Preston?
Damn that man is a Supreme alpha male 😋🙊
Jokes apart,
Honestly , I think You can not be saved, only person who can save you is you, YOURSELF
I am glad Logan Saved Himself
I have a special place in my heart for the name "Red" Because of the Chasing Red series by Isabelle Ronin which I highly recommend
Red's aka Aubrey's character was so damn relatable
The girl next door
She is pretty but not the prettiest?
She is smart but not the smartest?

What's beneath the bravado Logan Preston?
Gah! The feel of this book!!! Jay Mclean did it again and this time, regardless of the
preparations I did, it was never enough. Logan and Aubrey's journey through Jay's fantastic writing still managed to evoke plenty of emotions in me. Several hours after, I'm still here…staring blankly at my screen, basking all the feels with tears streaming down my face of sadness and joy. I was gutted, I was pained, I was angry, I feel betrayed, I want to smash things. But lo and behold, I wouldn't trade this feeling for anything else. Because even the most painful feels is still the most beautiful feeling I have ever felt with this book. My heart might be broken to bits of pieces, but Jay fixed it in the most beautiful way.And the tears I have right now? It's of mixed emotions, because this book is Logan's bravado I fell in love ever since he was that "little Logan" we all adored.
Logan by Jay Mclean is the book I have been waiting after I finished Lucas. I needed Jay's touch. I needed Jay's words and more than that, I miss the gang. I miss the way Jay portrayed these characters. I miss the feeling of being a part of a family I have grown to love ever since. So to say I am thrilled to start this book was an understatement. Gahd! The moment I started reading Logan, my mind was running in circles. The book piqued my curiosity to no end. And needless to say, I was hooked. I never did put the book down until I finished it. And when I did? I was a mess. I have been snotty crying, bawling and gasping for air to breathe. It was one of the most painful yet beautiful journey I had the pleasure of reading. It's rawness and realness brought a different edge to the story. It was so intense. The angst was killing me that I felt my heart was so full it's going to burst. But the glutton of punishment that I am never minded that feeling. I was craving for the pain
and needed it like I need air to breathe.
Don't get me wrong, Logan was not all about the pain. There's cuteness, there are swoony moments and laugh out loud scenes that made me want to be a teen all over again. But, I could never deny the fact that it wasn't the easiest book to read. Behind all the smiles and laughter I had with the book, lies an emotion and issues so heavy it cut deep in my heart and I felt it with every words I read. Logan and Aubrey are perfect for each other. These two made my sleepless night a rollercoaster one. I have loved every single portrayal of them but above all, I love both of them to bits of pieces flaws and all. The Mountains they climbed together, the bumps in the roads and the curveballs along the way to their HEA was not an easy feat.
But the best thing about this book? It consumed me. With Jay Mclean's excellent
writing, it totally captured my heart and mind. Indeed, there's really a book that will turnyour whole world upside down, and this is Logan for me. God! How I love this book
something fierce!
..."You + Me", we were never about just me.
Great job as always Jay Mclean! 10 stars aren’t enough for Logan. If only I could rate it to infinity and beyond, I would. That ending…*sigh…I’m may be broken, but you did a perfect job fixing and healing my heart.
"I feel lilke I was destined to find you"
"I feel like you were destined to save me."
*P.S. I try to be as vague as possible in my review so as not not to spoil you. This book is better read blind, inhaled and devoured. I hope you'll love this book as much as I did.
October 6, 2017
I read this 2 days ago and almost can't remember anything about it now so I think it's time to write a review before I have total amnesia tomorrow.
*low self-esteem: Is this how you start your review seriously?*
me: yup
*low self-esteem: Come on. You have to come up with something better than that*
me: Roses are red
Violets are blue
Logan I fucking love you
Lachlan I fucking love you too.
*low self-esteem:*
So that was weird and random. A great start obviously. So let's start shall we?
*low self-esteem: We shall not, no one shall read anything you write.
me: Roses are red
Violets are blue
Logan I
*low self-esteem:
The Plot:
I tried to come up with a plot so many times *okay just 2 times* yet after all my hard thinking *of 10 seconds* I couldn't do it *sooo surprising* But this is a romantic book so of course there is:
-romance
-an addition to my fictional boyfriend list
-ROMANCE
-an addition to my *looooooong* fictional boyfriend list.
-Family interaction
-Swoony brothers
-Great female character *definitely not always*
-ROMANCE
The characters:
Aubrey:
She was kind, funny, nice, kind of annoying at first and can't talk dirty to save her life. All of which made me like her. Is anyone waiting for the but. Every female character has a but and a butt. Sorry, I couldn't help it. But that's it. I just liked her and thanked god she wasn't that annoying. I am a girl so I focus on th male characters.*And here I am degrading the female species yet once again*. My class has TWO boys so you have to understand my reasons.
Logan:
If you're hoping for gender equality in my reviews, it's time for you to go. It's okay you've read enough or more than enough tbh. Because logan, I mean LOGAN! *the exclamation point was needed*
all I have to say: logan
He was the reason I waited for this book like it was my child, read it in one sitting and slept at 1 am even though I had to wake up at 6 am.*I spent that day walking like a zombie. And looking like one too but that's just me without make up on so.*
I like bad boys in books, I like bad boys with scretes in book. But do you know what I love? bad boys with dark secrets no one knows about, destroying them but they are hiding it with their 'I don't care about anything and I'm a jerk' attitude when in reality they are a broken mess with a heart of gold And that's Logan. But he also has blue eyes and black hair so I fucking loved him.
He was broken, self-destructive, hurts himself and everyone else around him, on the brink of drowning and that made me love him yet didn't understand him but when he opened up and you see what's hiding beneath his mask, you will fall head over heels for Logan.
The romance:
From hate to love but the hate didn't last that long. Their happy ending was hard to reach since both were broken in their own way yet when they were together it didn't matter. They were amazing.
The family:
Present and a-freacking-mazing. The brothers were so different and entertating. And the dad: THE COOLEST. Lachlan: I'm waiting for your book.
*low self-esteem: are most of your reviews like this: don't make sense, mistakes everywhere, too many GIFs...*
me: Just stop
*low self-esteem: All you talked about is the romance, love, is there any other word for it?, mediocre comedy, more like trying to be funny*
me: Roses are red
Violets are blue
Logan I fucking
*low self-esteem:
That was my weirdest review to this date *And I usually write really weird reviews so that was saying something.* Hopefully you liked it. Stay calm and keep reading. Then you won't be calm anymore. Can I say bye in a review? NO
Adios then.
*low self-esteem: Is this how you start your review seriously?*

“I am conflict...
...she is hope.”
4.5 raw, emotional stars!
Oh, Jay McLean, what have you done to my poor heart! I have SO much love for Logan Preston! Such a wonderfully complex character, the boy broke my heart and made me fall in love, and I felt every moment of his tumultuous story. This is a gorgeous romance, a beautiful story about family, and a heartbreaking journey for a tormented man. A raw and emotional read that made me laugh, swoon and cry, and I couldn’t put it down.
Logan is the middle of the seven Preston siblings (aka the ‘Preston Punks’). He is the one with the snarky attitude who sleeps around and spends his time getting high. From the outside it seems like he’s just wasting his life away, but in reality he is deeply tortured, and is desperately searching for a way to forget memories from the past which continually torment him.
Ava is a friend of the girl that Logan is currently ‘seeing’. She moved to town a few months ago as an adventure to start a new life for herself, but things haven’t quite worked out the way she imagined and she is still figuring things out. She and Logan have met, and they had an intense dislike of each other, but at a party one night they start to look at each other differently, and that hilarious animosity turns into something different.
This isn’t a textbook romance. Sure, Logan and Ava are attracted to each other, but it’s a slow and gradual thing as they work themselves out. It’s messy, and it’s complicated by Logan and the way he is, and by things that Ava has been through, and I could feel the struggle as they work out what it is they want and then fight to figure out how to be together.
And I could feel everything right along with them - the confusion and uncertainty, the passion, excitement and bliss of first love, the heartache, and the contentment that comes from finding your soul mate and creating something special together. It’s a rollercoaster and it’s full of feels, with my heart damn near breaking and then bursting with happiness as it all played out.
And as they come to terms with what they are feeling and work through their issues, we get a gorgeous love story that is sweet, sexy, full of fun moments, and beautifully emotional as Logan falls hard for the first time in his life.
But despite the happiness that they have found together, there are demons right beneath the surface, and omg, the feeeeeeels! My heart shattered. I literally ached as I read with tears streaming down my face, and all I wanted to do was take these characters in my arms and hold them. It’s not easy to read, but I thought the way it was written was realistic - raw, intense and real, and I could feel the torment as Logan and Ava were put to the test in ways the never could have imagined.
And so much more than just Logan and Ava, this is a story about family. Logan’s dad and his siblings all play a big part, and I loved seeing the dynamics at play within the family, as well as seeing the stories progress for the characters from this and the More Than series. The big surprise in this book was Lachlan - the youngest Preston is only 9 years old, but he has a huge part to play in this story. I loved the way his relationships with Logan and Ava were explored, and his impact on them, and the story, is profound and so, so gorgeous.
Jay McLean has done a wonderful job writing this book. There are moments in the story that are so intense and meaningful, I actually held my breath while reading. Two moments in particular I think will be permanently etched on my brain – small moments that are beautifully written and that mean EVERYTHING, and they brought the waterworks once again.
Overall, this is a beautifully written, emotional, angsty, heartbreaking but ultimately healing story. The romance is gorgeous, the family dynamics are spot-on, and I loved Logan and Ava’s journey.
4.5 stars.

“I never want to hurt you, Red,” he whispers. “Don’t let me hurt you, okay?”

He rears back, his eyes on mine again. “Promise me?”
“I swear.”

I was not expecting this when I started this book!
I'm going to ramble here, sorry:
I though I was going into a sweet, small town, cute little story, but no, it was so much more. In the first book of the series we get a glimpse of the deep feelings and torment of the main characters, but it's not until you read this one you realise how the author really develops those feelings and thoughts in her stories.
The plot was much deeper and stormy than I thought it would be, I hoped for a drama free romance in a way, although I did know Logan was going to be trouble, but not that troubled. And the addiction was so well handled by Jay McLean, letting us see the raw and darkness of it, but at the same time not letting it be the center of the story.
Ok, I'm sorry but I can't collect my thoughts properly in this one, it was such an unexpected turn of events. So... long story short, it was not a sweet small town drama free romance, it was a romance all right but with addiction, some darkness and Logan mostly being lost in life.

I loved this!! This book made me laugh, cry, scream and feel every emotion possible. I was not expecting this to be so deep and raw. I was totally feeling the writing and play on words in this one. What I loved most was how far from perfect Logan was. I knew he was kind of the black sheep of the family but I wasn't expecting him to be fighting so many demons. His story was heartbreaking. I wanted to be so mad at him for what happened towards the end, and I was at first....I was super pissed but after everything he went thru and how it all went down I really couldn't stay mad at him. I just wanted to hold him. I really loved Logan & Aubrey's connection, they both felt like real people fighting real and raw emotions within themselves. Love isn't always perfect nor is it easy!
And honestly the real MVP in this is Lachlan. That boy is everything! 🤗

I knew... I just knew going into this book that my heart would break. I got off way too easy with Lucas and his not-so-complicated story. I had a feeling that my
feelings
would be tested with Logan. And. I. Was. RIGHT!!
This story was all about Logan and his love for Mary. She was sweet. She was always there when he needed her. She gave him peace. Whenever he was anxious, afraid, pissed or even happy, she was there. She also wasn't a person. Mary was the love of Logan's life and she was also known as weed. Their relationship was toxic and she acted as a gateway for Logan's life to spiral, causing my heart to break. For the most part, Aubrey was a poor substitute for everything Logan got from Mary, but I will admit that she was better for him.
Logan was a misunderstood new adult who didn't quite fit. He had the best family ever and they loved and supported him no matter what, but no one could truly understand him. And when everything came to a head... when all of Logan's truths were laid bare... hearts broke.
You want feels? This book's got them. You want family? The Prestons are all that and more. You looking for love? Logan's story will give it to you. I'm so in love with these people and I can't wait for my next visit with them. Leo's story is next!

Jay used to be an auto buy author for me, but lately every book has one of the characters sleeping with other people while in love or in a relationship with the one they end up with.
It makes me sad because you can have pain and drama without that. It doesn't have to happen to every book. It makes me hesitant to buy her next book even though she is one of my fav authors. I don't care if it was in a drug haze, it happened. He betrayed someone who he loved, knowingly and willingly and she just forgave him. They didn't even discuss it.
I'm kind of done with that shit, the heroine just let it go because of something that was out of her control something her dad did. So if he can look over that she can look over him cheating? I'm sorry. No

I'm not sure how Jay McLean does it, but this author never fails to surprise me. Her writing brilliance is a gift to us Romance junkies. Like "I'd-bow-to-her-feet" kind of brilliance. Who can put in cuteness, angst, swoon, pain and perfect chemistry all before Chapter 5 of a book? Only JMac, people.
Only.
J.
Mac.
Every chapter of Logan is gripping. And the entire book? A crazy emotional rollercoaster ride. Even the pain you want to savor because it just feels damn good to have that intensity in your heart.
I need to take a break from reading because all these LOGAN feels, I want them to linger a bit more. Another Preston ruined me, and it's yet again one of the BEST reading experience ever.
Jay McLean didn't write a book. This woman MADE A FCKEN WORLD people would love to live in. She made a world with characters you just wanna be friends with and wish were real. Jay, all to hail your BEST BOOK TO DATE. Yes... even bestest than Big L. Sorry, Logan Matthews, Logan fcken Preston stole my errrrthing.
