Beard Science (Winston Brothers, #3) in Sharks of Awesome

Mar 08, 2017 Katy rated it it was amazing

2nd 5 Star book of 2017!

Full disclosure - I started reading Truth or Beard and couldn't finish it, because Jessica drove me nuts and I just wanted to slap her, but when I saw this one keep popping up in my feed with squees and hearts eyes surrounding it I had to give this one a go and I am so glad I did. I can't add anymore than what has already been said about this book but I will say this, if you have had issues with any of the previous books in the past I do recommend giving this one a go, C ...more

"I would fall in love with you and then you'd break my heart."
"I can't break your heart without breaking mine, and I'm terribly fond of my heart."

Ahhhh, this was everything I hoped Cletus' book would be and more! This was definitely my favorite Winston Brothers book so far.
(Although I really think these should be read in order! So many things connect between books. In fact, I regret not reading Ashley's book before starting this series.)

I loved getting inside Cletus' head and getting to see ...more

Oh my gosh. How have I not left a review?! I just finished my 6th reading of this book. I have it on Kindle and Audible. Like so many others, Cletus Winston is my favorite brother in the series. I was looking forward to reading about him and was not disappointed.

Male protagonist: Machiavellian, genius, handsome, bearded, Southern, and actually gave me a fair bit of a Mr. Darcy feel. Weirdly. And it gets stronger every time I read it. Pride and prejudice and Banana Cakes.

Female protagonist: Obse ...more

"How could I have disregarded her? How could I have looked at her with anything but wonder and respect and desire?" - Cletus Winston

I love Cletus and Jenn!

I was kinda worried about how I'd react to Cletus's odd personality after my first impression of him in the novels about his brothers. But Ms. Reid wrote him very well and gave all of the chapters from his perspective good detail about how his mind worked and why he was the way he was. Clever and diabolical doesn't even begin to describe tha "How could I have disregarded her? How could I have looked at her with anything but wonder and respect and desire?" - Cletus Winston

I love Cletus and Jenn!

I was kinda worried about how I'd react to Cletus's odd personality after my first impression of him in the novels about his brothers. But Ms. Reid wrote him very well and gave all of the chapters from his perspective good detail about how his mind worked and why he was the way he was. Clever and diabolical doesn't even begin to describe that man's mind! But he's also loving, gentle, fiercely loyal, and protective. I could totally fall for a man just like him.

Jenn was surprisingly, a great heroine! She was the complete opposite of the previous book's heroine. Invisible and pushover were words used to describe her. My impression of her from the other books was less than stellar. Fortunately for us, Penny Reid knew what she was doing!!! Once inside Jenn's head, I could see who she was and I understood her. And once she was paired with Cletus, oh man! He brought out all the best in her! And vice versa. That's what a couple should do for each other. Make each other the best versions of themselves.

I think that the mall scene is probably now one of my all time favorite book scenes ever! I love it when a big, strong man comes to the defense of his woman. It was brilliant!

When the big climax of the story happened, I was thankful that it wasn't drug out for a super long time. I liked that when Cletus made a decision about something, he was ready to admit his feelings, accept them, do what he needed to do and move on. It really moved the story along at a nice pace.

Side note, I'm really enjoying the progression of the other Winston brothers as well. Billy was my least favorite brother when I started the series and now I can't wait to read his book!
Beau's book is next and his woman was introduced in this book, so I can't wait! I still don't know much about Roscoe, the youngest brother, but I'm sure it'll be as good as the rest of the books!
