New Release: Beard in Hiding by Penny Reid + Review!

 

Beard in Hiding, an all-new not to be missed small town romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is now available!




Propositioning the Iron Wraiths’ money man seemed like a good idea at the time…
Diane Donner—recently divorced pillar of polite society—is craving danger. She’s tired of playing it safe and she knows just the sexy criminal motorcycle man to proposition for a good time. Problem is, she doesn’t actually know his name.
Jason “Repo” Doe never takes risks. So when the queen of local commerce walks into his club, looking to get risky and frisky, Jason knows the smartest thing to do is save himself a headache while saving the new divorcee from her worst impulses.
But then one thing leads to another, and the memory of just-one-night doesn’t feel like enough.
Theirs is a story with no future, because how can a dangerous criminal win (and keep) a queen?


‘Beard In Hiding’ is book #4.5 in the Winston Brothers series, is a full length contemporary romantic comedy about two lost souls in their 40s, and is a companion novel to the Winston Brothers and Solving for Pie series.


If you want to get the full immersive Green Valley world experience, I recommend reading ‘Truth or Beard,’ ‘Beard Science,’ ‘Engagement and Espionage,’ and ‘Marriage and Murder’ beforehand. ‘Beard In Hiding’ contains spoilers for these four books (in specific).

***

This was a good book. Beard in Hiding is Diane (Jennifer Winston's mother) and Repo/Jason (Jessica Winston's secret biological father)'s book. We got a glimpse of Diane and Jason's story from Jennifer's perspective in the first two books in the Solving for Pie series. This book now tells their relationship story from their own perspective. It was great to read their side of the story and see how they came to be together.

This was a good story and an easy read. It helped clear up some of the intricacies of the mystery in Marriage and Murder. Diane, a conservative business owner, and Jason, in the Iron Wrath motorcycle club, came off as complete opposites but were not really as different inside as they first thought. I thought they were really good together and for each other. I didn't feel a ton of chemistry between them, but I did feel their love. There is a lot of focus on Diane getting herself and her sexuality back after her divorce. Also, the book is focused on Diane and Jason's relationship progression, with the events from the Solving with Pie series going on in the background for most of the book, until everything comes to a head near the end. I was happy they got an HEA with each other, but I did want more closure on the murder situation. Hopefully that will come in the next Solving for Pie book.

Overall, I did enjoy Beard in Hiding and was happy for Jason and Diane. I would have loved an epilogue with a glimpse into their future. Still, I was happy to read their story and that Ms. Reid chose to give it to us. I look forward to more of whatever she comes up with in the future.
