Beard Science
Beard Science | Penny Reid
Make a deal with the devil and you might get what you want, but will it be what you need? Jennifer Sylvester wants one thing, and that one thing is NOT to be Tennessees reigning Banana Cake Queen. Ever the perpetual good girl and obedient daughter, Jennifer is buckling under the weight of her social media celebrity, her mothers ambitions, and her fathers puritanical mandates. Jennifer is officially desperate. And desperate times call for Cletus Winston. Cletus Winston is a puzzle wrapped in a mystery covered in conundrum sauce, and now hes in a pickle. Despite being convinced of his own omniscience, extortion by the exalted Banana Cake Queen of Green Valley has taken him completely by surprise. So... whats a maniacal mastermind to do? Likely, the last thing you expect. 'Beard Science' is the third book in the Winston Brothers series, is a full-length romantic comedy novel, and can be read as a standalone.

Oh Cletus... dearest Cletus. You were everything I hoped for and more. This book was snort out loud hilarious, awkward and full of classic romantic tropes. I loved it. Reid still has me giggling 3 books into her series and I do not regret a single moment.

As this is my first one on audio (and actual first romance on audio), I must comment: Mr. Brinkley?? Phew! 🤤

Not my favorite in the series (to be completely honest I was looking for it to be dirtier than it was) but still a good read! I love how tormented cletus was but still found his way to redemption!

I love this series and was happy to finally read Cletus story.

I loved how Jennifer grew as a character throughout the story. I hated how her parents treated and kept her under their thumb. She is 22 and can make her own choices! The romance between Cletus and Jennifer and Cletus was so sweet and cute with out over doing it and making it mushy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Winston Brothers #3

5 OMG!! STARS!! I LOVED THIS BOOK! It has one of my favourite plot types: the man helping to find a husband for the girl, but falls for the girl he's helping! Ugh, Love it! And to have that man be Cletus Winston, man oh man, Jennifer is one lucky lady! He is funny, sweet, caring, a bad boy when needed, gentlemanly, hard working and just about any other ideal a woman could want in a guy!

JoRead I have the whole series on my kindle , I just need time to read it 😜 Glad to hear you loved it 6y

Good Morning Littens!

My hay-fever caused a cold and my cats woke me at "the butt crack of dawn" (to quote the Winston Brothers) - it's a public holiday in Germany. ?

It allows me to listen to the morning choir, watch the sunrise and enjoy the cool morning air, it soothes my cough.

Guess I'm not going back to sleep, but back to bed to read.

Look at this #CatsOfLitsy face! We've just finished the #audiobook.

As I've said before, I liked Cletus's story. I like Cletus. But I liked Jethro more. Still, I liked how Cletus helped Jennifer escape her Banana-Queen existence and become herself.

4.5 stars

We're taking a break from the day - it's 8:36 a.m. here and we're both tired already.

So we're finishing this #audiobook. Ghost is napping, I'll be Litsy-ing for a moment, then #audioknitting.
I wish I wasn't tired and wiped out so early in the day.

For the record, the audio book is great (80% in). I like Cletus's and Jennifer's story, but I liked Jethro's story more.

Started this series (about a group of siblings in Tennessee) in the middle, and it is so frickin adorable. Cletus is an oddball genius who you never want to cross and Jennifer is the Banana Cake Queen 👸 who blackmails him into helping her. Grinned throughout the looniness and sighed in the sweet episodes. #romantsy

"Jennifer Sylvester loved me. I loved Jennifer Sylvester. A fact. Surreal. She hadn't said it yet, but I knew the truth. I could tell. Yep. She loves me." I'm really loving the Winston Brothers series, but so far I think Jess and Cletus's story is my favorite! They're considered odd in the town of Green Valley, but they understand and really come to know each other. This is such a cute and funny series!

swliblady Theirs was my favorite, too! :) 6y

This book has become one of my top 10 books. From the characters to the plot everything was captivating. Cletus will instantly become the book boyfriend you've always dreamed of and seeing Jenn grow and blossom as the book progresses is splendid. The relationship in this book will have you so invested in these characters' lives that you will want to read it over and over again.

#backtoreading #AndItsAugust

Today: #AudiobooksToGo + #HairThereAndEverywhere

My go-to audiobooks are Penny Reid's.

What I like most about these, they are ideal when you need something light to entertain you, but have to divide your attention between the audiobook and some "menial" task.

@Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck @RealLifeReading

Chewyauthor @julesG do you use audible? 😬 7y
JoeStalksBeck 👏👏👏👏👏👏 7y
julesG @Chewyauthor Nope! I bought the ones I listened, too. Why? 7y
Chewyauthor @julesG I was just curious as to what's the most cost effective! I've just started a trial with audible. 7y
julesG @Chewyauthor I don't like the regular audible membership since I listen to more than one audiobook per month. The ones I bought were quite cheap, between 3 and 5 Euros. And then I pilfered my friends' database - no strike that, we exchanged audiobooks. 😁 7y

Book 4 comes out 8/1. I only have one more Knitting in the City novel and short story to read before my Reid-athon is over. I'm kind of sad about that.

julesG Ah. Lots of books to look forward to. I wanted to read all of the Penny Reid books ever since reading "Neanderthal" but then got distracted by other good books on my kindle. 7y

My first read of 2017 is also my first use of my new Kindle! Usually I use my iPad, but I was in the mood for a change of pace today and I'm liking the lighter weight and the no-glare screen. I do still need a case, though, to keep it safe!
