Whether it be knitting or beards, Penny Reid knows the way to my heart!!! Reid has this extraordinary and unique way of telling a story that is refreshing, smart, witty, lovable, heartfelt, and sweet. There isn’t a Penny Reid book that I haven’t loved and so you can imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on Beard In Mind.
Beau Winston is the nice twin. I honestly think he is the male version of myself. Beau is the guy that you want to be friends with and so you can imagine to his surprise when he shows up to work and sees the new hire, Shelly Sullivan. Though he mistaken Shelly for someone else, Shelly immediately called Beau an idiot. Taken aback by her rude behavior, Beau gives it another shot to be friendly with her but she isn’t having it and so he thinks she is weird and rude.
Shelly Sullivan isn’t like any heroine that I have read. She has an extreme version of OCD and not many people know about her condition. She is trying to work on her problems with therapy but it comes off as she is being rude.
Little did Beau know, Shelly is very much attracted to Beau. She loves that he is the most down to earth and nicest person that she has the pleasure of knowing. When Shelly tells Beau that she is attracted to him, Beau is a little stunned because Shelly never gave any indication of her feelings for him. And Beau being the nice guy decides that he wants to get know Shelly. As Beau gets to know Shelly and her OCD habits, he begins to really like her. I mean really really like and care for her and soon he finds himself in a relationship with Shelly.
I absolutely adore Beau as he didn’t get scared or shy away from Shelly’s problems. He embraced it and was willing to help her. Shelly was also a heroine that I adored. I loved that she didn’t shy away from her OCD tendency but sought out help from therapy and from Beau. I love seeing a couple who are totally different but completes one another and reading about Beau and Shelly made my heart burst with so much love and appreciation.
Beard In Mind was one of those reads that you can easily get lost in. Reid’s witty and smart dialogue, colorful cast of characters, and heartfelt storyline really makes this series as one of my favorite. So what are you waiting for and go discover why I love Beau Winston!!!
Even now, a week after the fact, my mind’s favorite place to wander was the memory of her perfect, cherry-tipped tits and her smooth, pale skin. Her silky blond hair between my fingers. Her responsive, writhing body. And, of course, the taste of her pussy as I’d laved my tongue over her straining clit. At this point, even her name was enough to get me hard as a rock. But it wasn’t enough—none of it was. Because I was going to find Bren. And when I did? I was sure as shit going to make her mine ”
