Billy Winston’s family is going to see him happy and in love if it’s the last thing they do.
Beard Necessities, the final standalone in the bestselling romantic comedy Winston Brothers series from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!
No one deserves a happily-ever-after quite as much as the second oldest Winston brother and his lady love, Claire McClure (aka Scarlet St. Claire). Cruelty and circumstance tore them apart almost twenty years ago. Secrecy and bitterness kept them separated.
But 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, hi-jinks, and family collusion.
BEARD NECESSITIES is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, and can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s probably best read after books 0.5, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the Winston Brothers series.

Christy's Review
After reading Beard with Me a few months ago, I couldn't wait to read the conclusion of Billy and Scarlet's story. I was equal parts excited and sad, because although I wanted to find out what happened with them, I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to the Winston Brothers. I love this family so much and I'm sad this is the last book. But what a way to end it! This book was wonderful and oh so satisfying! It gave me all the feels and made me smile so big. I loved it to pieces.
“As folks who love them both, it falls on us—all of us—to make the magic happen.”
The entire Winston clan is in Italy and Cletus comes up with a brilliant plan.... he will do whatever it takes to get Scarlet and Billy together. All of Cletus's fabulous shenanigans reminded me why I love him so much! There were so many moments in this story that had me laughing, which was a nice change of pace from the first part of Billy and Scarlet's story. Billy and Scarlet are both a little stubborn, and it takes some pushing, but their chemistry and the love between them is undeniable.
Billy just might be my favorite Winston brother. He really is the best. The most giving, the most brave, the most selfless. He loves his family something fierce and he puts those he loves above himself always. Scarlet is the love of his life, but there has always been something in the way of them being together. I loved watching all their truths come out, and seeing them get to know each other again. These two belong together.
As the blurb states, no one deserves a happily ever after quite as much as Billy Winston. And I'm so happy he found his. This was such a beautiful second chance romance that was full of heart, humor, and steam. I couldn't get enough of it. I love the Winston family so much and I'll definitely be doing a re-read of all their books in the future. This was the perfect book to end the series and I couldnt' have been happier with how it turned out. Bravo, Penny Reid! Thank you for creating this fantastic world and these amazing characters!
