Beard Science by Penny Reid

Beard Science (Winston Brothers, #3)

by Penny Reid

Make a deal with the devil and you might get what you want, but will it be what you need?

Jennifer Sylvester wants one thing, and that one thing is NOT to be Tennessee's reigning Banana Cake Queen. Ever the perpetual good girl and obedient daughter, Jennifer is buckling under the weight of her social media celebrity, her mother's ambitions, and her father's puritanical mandates. Jennifer is officially desperate.

And desperate times call for Cletus Winston.

Cletus Winston is a puzzle wrapped in a mystery covered in conundrum sauce, and now he's in a pickle. Despite being convinced of his own omniscience, extortion by the exalted Banana Cake Queen of Green Valley has taken him completely by surprise. So... what's a maniacal mastermind to do?

Likely, the last thing you expect.

Beard Science just solidified my opinion about Penny Reid's writing! Cletus might not be my favorite brother... but he was awesome. I loved getting to know him better. And Jenn totally blew my mind!
There is so much truth in this story. And the romance is very slow burning. Plus, Jenn has always followed the rules someone else made for her - until she decides that doesn't work for her anymore.
Seing another side of Cletus definitely made him more approachable. And I have a lot of affection for him.
However, I'm still kind of holding off for one of the other brother's story...
