Beard Necessities by Penny Reid

Beard Necessities (Winston Brothers, #7)

by Penny Reid

Billy Winston’s family is going to see him happy and in love if it’s the last thing they do.

No one deserves a happily-ever-after quite as much as the second oldest Winston brother and his lady love, Claire McClure (aka Scarlet St. Claire). Cruelty and circumstance tore them apart almost twenty years ago. Secrecy and bitterness kept them separated.

But you know who's tired of their separation and stubbornness? Everyone. Especially Billy Winston’s family. And now they're going to do something about it.

Well-meaning interference means the star-crossed lovers can’t stop tripping over each other in the hills of Tuscany, the catacombs of Rome, and the waterways of Venice. Billy and Claire find themselves thrown together and at the mercy of the Winston siblings’ shenanigans.

But will their forced proximity bring them together? Or push them even further apart?

This second-chance romance brings back the entire Winston gang, playing cupid in one last story of love, hi-jinks, and family collusion.

BEARD NECESSITIES is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, and can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s probably best read after books 0.5, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the Winston Brothers series.

Beard Necessities was EVERYTHING I wanted and needed it to be...and more.
A book like this, there's a lot of heavy expectation and I salute Penny Reid because she gave Billy and Scarlet the HEA they both worked so very hard for. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the part the Winston family played in the whole, getting Billy and Scarlett in the same place so they could finally figure things out.

Beard Necessities, like the rest of the Winston series, made me laugh (a lot), cry and swoon. I just adore those Winston men AND Ashley and the rest of the family.

It makes me sad that this series is coming to an end, I've loved it so much and reading this book made me remember just how fantastic it's been!
