New Release: Beard with Me by Penny Reid + Review!

“This is Penny Reid at her finest.” -- L.B. Dunbar, author

Beard With Me, an epic and breathtaking story from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!

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.

‘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.

Ahh! So Good! This will be super tricky to review because I can't say much about the plot. Just know that this book is Claire's story and is the origin story of the Winston family. We know from the other Winston brothers books where Claire and Billy are at their lives in the present, estranged from each other because of something that happened between them. Now, we get to find out what happened when they were very young that made them that way. We see Claire as a young teen and how her life is at that point. Things are pretty bleak for her for many reasons. This story was really good and there is romance, but there is also a sense of foreboding because we know that something is coming that is the catalyst for Claire and Billy's estrangement as adults. This book has the bittersweet feelings of young, new love and the awkward, teenage angst. There is a star crossed lovers feel. The story is, at times, sad, emotional and bittersweet, with moments of sweetness, love and a dash of humor. I really loved Billy and Claire in this book. I felt so sorry for everything they went through. I also very much enjoyed seeing the other Winston characters as kids, especially young Cletus.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. But I wanted more! I can. not. wait for Billy and Claire's book and, hopefully, their HEA! I bow down to Penny Reid's writing skills, imagination and evil geniosity.
