Beau Winston is the nicest, most accommodating guy in the world. Usually.
Handsome as the devil and twice as charismatic, Beau lives a charmed life as everyone's favorite Winston Brother. But since his twin decided to leave town, and his other brother hired a stunning human-porcupine hybrid as a replacement mechanic for their auto shop, Beau Winston's charmed life has gone to hell in a handbasket.
Shelly Sullivan is not nice and is never accommodating. Ever.
She mumbles to herself, but won't respond when asked a question. She glares at everyone, especially babies. She won't shake hands with or touch another person, but has no problems cuddling with a dog. And her damn parrot speaks only in curse words.
Beau wants her gone. He wants her out of his auto shop, out of Tennessee, and out of his life. The only problem is, learning why this porcupine wears her coat of spikes opens a Pandora's box of complexity-exquisite, tempting, heartbreaking complexity-and Beau Winston soon discovers being nice and accommodating might mean missing out on what matters most.
If I didn't already love Beau, I would have fallen for him as I read this book.
I love the idea, that people like him exist. That there are people, who can accept you, warts and all, and will work hard to learn how to support you in the least intrusive way. I liked that Reid went beyond the surface of OCD, and showed a side of it we don't see as much. I thought she handled Shelly's OCD with great care, and she went that extra mile to educate us readers by including the therapy sessions.
There was a wedding, a bombshell, and a big goodbye, which made me tear up a little, but there were all little teasers hinting at the romances for the other Winston Boys.
I say this every time, but I really mean it - another great Winston Brothers book.
