★★★★★ Goodreads Choice Award Semi-Finalist for Best Romance ★★★★★

From the NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, & USA TODAY bestselling series

All is fair in love and auto maintenance.

Beau Winston is the nicest, most accommodating guy in the world. Usually.

Handsome as the devil and twice as charismatic, Beau lives a charmed life as everyone's favorite Winston Brother. But since his twin decided to leave town, and his other brother hired a stunning human-porcupine hybrid as a replacement mechanic for their auto shop, Beau Winston's charmed life has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Shelly Sullivan is not nice and is never accommodating. Ever.

She mumbles to herself, but won't respond when asked a question. She glares at everyone, especially babies. She won't shake hands with or touch another person, but has no problems cuddling with a dog. And her damn parrot speaks only in curse words. Beau wants her gone. He wants her out of his auto shop, out of Tennessee, and out of his life.

The only problem is, learning why this porcupine wears her coat of spikes opens a Pandora's box of complexity—exquisite, tempting, heartbreaking complexity—and Beau Winston soon discovers being nice and accommodating might mean losing what matters most.

Beard in Mind is book #4 in the Winston Brothers series. Each book is a standalone, full length (110k words), contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the romantic exploits and adventures of one of the six Winston Brothers.

"'Beard in Mind' is a breathtakingly romantic, brilliantly unique and deeply affecting love story that soothes the mind, warms the heart and nourishes the soul. One of the most memorable and captivating books I've read this year." - USA Today

"Characters who swim against the current, a story-line that mirrors only itself. This is why we love Penny Reid. The beauty is always there and her characters have their own unique mold."

-Totally Booked Blog

"Reid has a marvelous way with words. She also knows her cars and vehicles and her pastries and her salty-mouthed birds. The end result is an adventure and a feast for the mind and a lovely romance that provokes and intrigues (Desert Island Keeper)." - All About Romance

"Raw and absolutely stunning. Beau and Shelly's story was like nothing you've ever read from Penny Reid before. It was heart breaking and hopeful, all at the same time. It is one of those unforgettable stories that will inspire and touch the hearts of all its readers." - Wrapped Up In Reading
