Synopsis
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.

'𝐋I𝐀M' Is the fourth full length enemies to lovers within the (Preston Brothers) series by author Jay McLean. Spoken in dual perspectives. Liam & Addy.
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..
