This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series with one couple’s romance or a series where each member of a family gets a romance. I am choosing romance […]
I really love Penny Reid’s characters and their unique, personal characteristics. The Three Kings world, based on stories about three talented guys who grew up in Texas and people they know, is fascinating. Each person has so much more to them than the face they present to the world. Character driven stories are great stories. […]
I have loved every Winston Brothers series book and now we have a new spinoff series, the Modern Folktales. The characters featured are friends and sort of relations to the Winstons. It began with Jackson James, the son of the sheriff and a sheriff’s deputy himself. Now we learn about the best friend of Beau, […]
When I began this book, I had a predetermined impression of Jackson James; the cocky, ‘Jack’ass that was destined for a case of leprosy. He’d sabotaged Ashley’s relationship with Drew, had his eye on Jen when she was obviously in love with Cletus, and had generally made a nuisance of himself every time he showed […]

I have loved every Winston Brothers series book and now the spinoff series, the Cletus and Jenn mysteries, with my absolute favorite couple. The series seems to give us a lot more detail than what was happening in Beard Science and during the rest of the Winston Bros series. I really enjoyed Marriage and Murder, even […]
I have enjoyed every book in Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series and new I get the spinoff series, the Cletus and Jenn mysteries, with my favorite couple. Cletus and Jenn are my absolute favorites! Engagement and Espionage is a deeper look into some of the events which happened following Beard Science for this couple. I […]
I have enjoyed every book in Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series. Now we are down to Billy. Next to Cletus, he is my heartbreaker. Although the book before this was Beard With Me which was Scarlet and Billy’s early high school years, ending with her leaving town at age 14.. Beard Necessities begins 20 years […]
I have enjoyed every book in Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series. Now we are down to Billy. Next to Cletus, he is my heartbreaker. Beard With Me is a very full book, prequel to the series. This is a long book but the pages flew by. The chapters alternate between Billy and Scarlet. Billy is […]
