OMG, Penny Reid! Scarlet and Billy's backstory broke my heart. It was so beautiful seeing them fall in love, but painful learning all the circumstances that broke them apart. I loved getting to meet all the Winston's as children too. I am SO ready to see Billy and Scarlet get their HEA in the next book.

Well... I finished and I'm not even remotely OK. I totally understand why Penny gave the warnings and it's something NO ONE should take lightly. I honestly wish that I went in blind because there are zero words to express everything I felt throughout their origin story.
Two people who had to grow up way too quickly, to take on pain to the point that it became such a natural part of their lives. Something they felt that they HAD to do. And it shouldn't have been like that for them and it's just not fair... Too young, too much to endure, something you should never wish on kids.

I’m feeling battered and bruised after reading Beard with Me. For a lot of the story, I was contemplating just skipping to the end to get the info I needed. Thank goodness I didn’t read just that ending. I cried A LOT in the last chapter. The biggest problem and why I contemplated giving up, is that this story is pretty much YA. I’m not a fan of YA with all the high school drama, hormones, finding yourself and growing confidence in your decisions…stuff. I needed to read Beard with Me but I’m not sure I needed it to be full length. I wish there had been a CliffsNotes version, to be honest.
I needed to understand William, see Billy the QB and know the Winston's ugly and tainted history. Sure, I was kind of interested in Scarlett/Claire but it's all about Billy Winston for me. I know some of the history and obviously we know bits and pieces of the Winston's history but I never imagined it could be this ugly.
Beard with Me left me with some pretty dark thoughts. I absolutely HATED what these kids faced and lived through. I was having some pretty damn violent feelings toward the Wraiths and one douchewaffle, in particular, was in my sights.
I'm glad/ content/ satisfied to know Billy and Scarlett's history but I will be even glad...er/ content...er/ satisfied...er to get to the happy ever after, sighs and smiles I've come to expect from the Winston Brothers series. This book made me feel...A LOT!

Dang it, Penny Reid!
I had so many feelings reading this book. I'll admit to some slight frustration while reading, mainly due to the internal monologues. But looking back on it, they help to string together things that happened in previous books. Beard with Me, certainly filled in some pieces of the puzzle laid out in previous books. It also created more questions for me and it's been years since I've read the previous books. So, I had to spend some time trying to remember things.
This is the most serious and dramatic of the books so far. Which makes sense, considering the subject matter. While it broke my heart many times, the sweetness of Billy and Scarlet, certainly helped to soften the blows at times. Sort of.
I loved meeting the young Winstons and getting to spend time with Bethany Winston as well.
This is an intense read and I appreciated how Reid used Cletus to give us a bit of comic relief here and there.
All I know is this... I want the next book. ASAP. I cannot wait to read their HEA.
