“This is Penny Reid at her finest.” -- L.B. Dunbar, author
Beard With Me, an epic and breathtaking story from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!
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.
‘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.

Christy's Review:
I’ve read every book in the Winston Brother’s series upon release. I’ve been reading this series for over 4 years now, and Billy Winston has always been the brother I’ve been most curious about. He's different than his brothers and sister. You can tell he’s carried more than they have, but you're never sure what or why. Finally, you find out… And let me tell you, this was not an easy read. At times, it was a lovely story about first love and made my heart so happy, at other times, I was devastated over many different things.
Billy Winston is a protector. Even though he’s not the oldest Winston brother, he’s the brother that is always there for his mom and siblings. He works hard, goes to school, plays football, and helps his mom. He is the person you want in your corner. Scarlet St. Claire has one thing in common with Billy. Her dad is also a Wraith and an awful human being. But Scarlet doesn’t have a great mom like Billy- she’s on her own. But being on her own is better than being with her parents, so that’s what she choses.
She deserved so much better than the hand she’d been dealt. Maybe her struggles had made her strong, resilient, but she didn’t deserve to be burdened with them.
Scarlet’s story broke my heart. Her parents were truly the worst. I already knew that from reading the other books in this series, but this book just solidified it. One thing that made me super happy was seeing Scarlet and Cletus’s friendship. It warmed my heart. And Scarlet and Billy together was everything… Until it wasn’t.
After reading this book, I’m even more anxious to get to the part 2 of Billy and Scarlet. No one deserves a happy ever after more than these two. I can’t wait to watch Billy rekindle his love with Scarlet. I have hope that it will happen. This book is part 1 of their story, and it’s not a romance, as the author says. It’s a tragic love story. And if you’re sensitive to certain topics, beware (especially abuse of any kind).
