There is just so much love for this series and Penny Reid can absolutely do no wrong with our favorite bearded brothers! Dr. Strange Beard is book 5 in the Winston Brothers series, yes, it can be read as a standalone, but don't deprive yourself of the awesomeness that is the Winston brothers! For the first time, I found myself connecting very easily to the hero, not saying that I didn't love the heroine because she is an awesome one to admire. But my goodness, his character really pulled out the feels and it was downright heartbreaking sometimes. It'll keep you wondering how Roscoe and Simone well get their second chance at love especially when Simone is just so against it in the first place.
Now I consider myself fairly new to Penny Reid's book, maybe within the past couple of years or so. So, I'm still learning her writing style. But it's very distinct. I've noticed it more with her recent work, I love and always look forward to her quirkiness, but also the fact that she touches on real-topics. You know, some that are pushed underneath the rug, she goes there, and it needs to be done more. Like I've said, Penny Reid can do no wrong with her writing.
It has been a while since I've read a duo like Roscoe and Simone. Roscoe and his super memory, it seriously broke my heart when a lot of memories about Simone brought him so much pain. He remembers every little thing and to come face to face with that pain, it's not easy for him at all. And then we have Simone, a different kind of heroine that I truly admired, but love just wasn't for her. And let's not forget the little secret she's keeping from Roscoe or well a pretty big one. One that could probably hurt Roscoe even more.
As you read further and further into the book, I loved seeing Simone really question her feelings when it came to Roscoe. There's definitely a little bit of a misunderstanding between the two of them and watching them coast around it is actually pretty entertaining.
Gosh, I love this book to much and well this series, shoot, I love Penny Reid as well. I always look forward to everything that she writes, the quirkiness, how unique and different it is, she just creates love stories that are unforgettable.
SO yeah, Dr. Strange Beard is a must read and a favorite for the year! I am beyond ready for Billy's book!
