Publisher's summary

Billy Winston’s family is going to see him happy and in love, if it’s the last thing they do.

No one deserves a "happily ever after" quite as much as the second oldest Winston brother and his lady love Claire McClure (a.k.a. Scarlet St. Claire). Cruelty and circumstance tore them apart almost 20 years ago. Secrecy and bitterness kept them separated.

But do you know who's tired of their separation and stubbornness? Everyone. Especially Billy Winston’s family. And now, they're going to do something about it.

Well-meaning interference means the star-crossed lovers can’t stop tripping over each other in the hills of Tuscany, the catacombs of Rome, and the waterways of Venice. Billy and Claire find themselves thrown together and at the mercy of the Winston siblings’ shenanigans.

But will their forced proximity bring them together or push them even further apart?

This second-chance romance brings back the entire Winston gang playing cupid in one last story of love, hijinks, and family collusion.

Beard Necessities is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, and can be listened to as a stand-alone, but it’s probably best to listen to it after the previous books in the Winston Brothers series.

❤️📚Love this series!📚❤️

I love this series, especially the narration by Chris Brinkley and the various female narrators, but I have to ask, what is up with the “Sneak Peek” being the same on each book? 🤔

Finally, the brother I have waited for.

I think I was expecting something else. Maybe more action, but the rest was all there. Funny, sweet and my favorite book family with a great epilog! The narrators did a great job. Love Cletus. His voice leaves me in stitches.

The family is content.

We were introduced to the backstory between Billy and Scarlet's and this book gave us the conclusion to it all. Billy is always putting others needs before his own. He has done things to please others around him and I was glad that he was forced to take care of himself in this book. Scarlet is stubborn and does not think that her and Billy are in the cards for her. I thought that this story was sweet. It did second chance romance justice! There was the humor you expect with a Winston book but there was also the perfect amount of emotions and steam. Sad to see the series be done but well done Penny!

Brilliant book and series.

So sad to see my beloved Winston series end but I can revisit them at any time. Love Penny and her narrators. Only the best.
This last installment was more complex than I expected and very enjoyable.
Thank you!!!

Saddddd

I hate this book, and the last one in the Knitting in the City books. Why? Because I will miss these families. My heart breaks during the epilogues because I know this is it. Damn you Penny! Damn you for making me fall in love with these characters during all the series’ your write. I love them all. ♥️
