Hunches, horse races, and heartbreak

Ten years after Simone Payton broke his heart, all Roscoe Winston wants is a doughnut. He’d also like to forget her entirely, but that’s never going to happen. Roscoe remembers everything—every look, every word, every single unrequited second—and the last thing he needs is another memory of Simone.

Unfortunately, after one chance encounter, Simone keeps popping up everywhere he happens to be . . .

Ten years after Roscoe Winston dropped out of her life, all Simone Payton wants is to exploit him. She’d also like some answers from her former best friend about why he ghosted her, but if she never gets those answers, that’s a-okay. Simone let go of the past a long time ago. Seriously, she has. She totally, totally has. She is definitely not still thinking about Roscoe. Nope. She’s more than happy to forget he exists.

But first, she needs just one teeny-tiny favor . . .

Dr. Strange Beard is a full-length romantic comedy novel, can be read as a stand-alone, and is the fifth book in the USA TODAY bestselling Winston Brothers series.

How is it that the Winston Brother’s series keeps getting BETTER and BETTER. Dr. Strange Beard takes the cake! It is a refreshing story filled with unique plot lines, authentic character building, all wrapped in a package that will leave you invigorated and satisfied. The time jump took me further into a world I adore and I was ready to see what the master had in store. 

First off, I would like to say that I am a HUGE fan of suspense and that nugget of golden danger hooked me fast. The thread of intrigue, something you would expect given Simone’s occupation, gives this book an extra oomph. Add in a brilliant, sexy vet, with a massive crush on his high school best friend, and you have something that will appeal to so many people. Danger, deception, family, second chances… This book has everything you want in a way you don’t see coming. Couple in the fact that the ever evolving Winston family rounds out the ins and outs of this tale, and you will be sad to see the last paragraph read. 

Simone and Roscoe have a delicious slow burn. I loved the push and pull between them. Their connection is soul deep and when they allow themselves to feel more, you know you are in for a tantalizing ride. The ups and downs of their ever evolving relationship is messy but some the best love stories are.

Penny, you are fantastic. I wish you could write my life story. Or maybe just my eulogy? Cheers to another incredible addition to the Winston Brothers series. I am ready for more!!
