Beard With Me

Winston Brothers #6

Publication Date: September 16, 2019

‘Beard With Me’ is the origin story of Billy Winston and Scarlet St. Claire (aka Claire McClure) and is just the beginning of their epic love story.

No one is better at surviving than Scarlet St. Claire and making the best out of circumstances beyond her control is Scarlet’s specialty. In an apocalyptic situation, she’d be the last person on earth, hermitting like a pro, singing along to her CD Walkman, and dancing like no one is watching.

Scarlet is clever, Scarlet is careful, and Scarlet is smart . . . except when it comes to Billy Winston.

No one is better at fighting than Billy Winston and raging against his circumstances—because nothing is beyond his control—is Billy’s specialty. In an apocalyptic situation, he’d be the first person on earth to lead others to safety, overcome catastrophe, or die trying.

Billy is fearless, Billy is disciplined, and Billy is honorable . . . except when it comes to Scarlet St. Claire.

Wow. It feels like this story has been so long in coming yet I am somehow unprepared for it. My heart wasn’t ready for the backstory of Scarlet and Billy. As much as I love the entire Winston family, I have been anxiously waiting to figure out who Billy Winston is and what happened to make him so broody and reserved! Let me tell you, this backstory doesn’t hold any punches. It is raw and heartbreaking, yet full of change and growth that propels the story into a forward trajectory and you can’t help but hold on and see what is over the next gut wrenching incline.

When I finished this one I started reading the series again, trying to catch glimpses of Billy and Claire (aka Scarlet) all grown up, to see if I could read the situation and predict what is to come. The tension and history is like a living being between these two and to finally begin to understand it everything. I trust Penny to heal my heart with their story but I am equal parts excited and terrified for the story of these two as adults. I am ready of the blanks to be filled in and to finally have answers and a hopeful HEA!
