Beard With Me

Winston Brothers

De: Penny Reid

Narrado por: Chris Brinkley, Joy Nash

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.

Backstory must read

Winston Brothers fans know what will happen from hints in other books, but still heartfelt and worth the listen. As always, the narration is excellent. What a story! What resilient characters! I love hanging out with this family. Seeing the men as little boys and finally getting a picture of Jethro during his dark years was valuable. I was a little unsure about reading about teenagers, but the story is engaging and well done. The big problem with this one is that Audible doesn't yet have Beard Necessities. So frustrating to have to wait!
I do believe this story would be more meaningful to readers who know the series, although it might be ok without.

I like it.

It is just really hard to listen to because the author sexually objectifies a 14 year old girl. I don’t care how mentally or physically mature she is for her age. It was just really weird to listen to. I kept having to remind myself that they were both so young (14&16).
I also understand that is how teenagers act and think but I honestly felt like a creeper for reading about their physical encounters.
Just me though.
I liked finally knowing why “Clair” left.

I'm only on chapter 9 but...

I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it. I kinda knew Scarlett's story would be different to hear but I didn't realize how difficult. I've absolutely loved all the previous books and am going to stick with it because I know her story get better.

Billy & Scarlett

This book reveals the origin story of Scarlet and Billy and how they eventually fell in love. This book is funny and sad but was really needed to see what makes these characters so great together.

Conflicted

I’m conflicted with this book. The narration is good. The story is good. But I need... the rest of the story. So I feel like Reid gets a bravo for not following the cookie cutter plan of one book per sibling. But I also need this brother to end up with his woman already. So on to the next book (again kudos to Reid) and hopefully we will the HEA we’ve been waiting for.

Beard with me

I have listen to all of this series of books love the first time that in the second time third time I saw it I on the characters I just get into her last call is just a character advisor can explain it Paul George for his nonsense brings me would recommend them to anybody that wants to listen

The Hopeful & Heartbreaking Backstory

Beard with Me gifts us with the hopeful and heartbreaking history of Scarlet St. Claire (Claire McClure) and Billy Winston. I cried, y'all. I cried multiple times.

It made me fall in love with all of the Winstons--especially Billy and Cletus--even more, and I didn't know that was possible.

And bonus: Penny Reid drops in background and tidbits for nuggets she has planted throughout the series.

I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. Joy Nash and Chris Brinkley knock it out of the park. Talk about pulling on your heartstrings--whoa.

Oh the beautiful heartache!

I have greatly enjoyed all of the audiobooks in this series, but this one has really had an impact on me! I’ve been anticipating this story throughout the series, but I wasn’t prepared for how emotionally invested I would actually get. This is seriously a masterpiece! Just make sure you have your tissues ready.

Love this series

This is another wonderful series written so well!! Penny knows what she is doing!! the characters are amazing!

Daryl must die!!

I have never reviewed a book in the way I'm about to:

I freaking HATE Daryl, Razor, the Iron Wraiths.. all of those bastards!! I want them to die slow painful horrific deaths. I have never cried this hard for imaginary people.

Joy and Chris are indescribable in their narration of this book, I am immediately listening to the next one so I can stop crying my eyes out. I need some Cletus happiness in my life after listening to this book
