January LaVoy is an outstanding performer I first listened to her in Steal My Magnolia which I really enjoyed too, she has perfect comedy timing and is a fantastic voice actress (I was even lowkey attracted to her when she did the Roscoe voice!) I'm British so I love American accents but particularly the South for some reason, I'd melt if I had a man with Chris Brinkley's voice *Swoon* I'm so happy that I have tons more of Penny Reid's books to go through over the next year or so! In fact, they have each secured number one in my male and female best narrator's awards. The character's were great, loveable and well fleshed out, even the small side bar character's were super. I almost woke my neighbours up by howling at that whole kitchen scene at 2:30 in the morning! There were so many funny moments in the book that had me howling. Usually I skip sections in romance books because they're usually repetitive and predictable, but I didn't want to miss a single second of this one even though I did guess quite a few thing's that did happen.

This was the first Penny Reid book that I've read and it was absolutely brilliant, Reid is a master writer and I love how her mind works, she has a great understanding of people from all walks of life so I'm assuming she has a very diverse network of friends, and maybe also family? 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. Strange Beard is book #5 in the Winston Brothers series. ★★★★★ Goodreads Choice Award Semi-Finalist for Best Romance ★★★★★ĭr. She’s more than happy to forget he exists.īut first, she needs just one teeny-tiny favor. She is definitely not still thinking about Roscoe.

Simone let go of the past a long time ago. She’d also like some answers from her former best friend about why he ghosted her, but if she never gets those answers, that’s a-okay. Ten years after Roscoe Winston dropped out of her life, all Simone Payton wants is to exploit him. Unfortunately, after one chance encounter, Simone keeps popping up everywhere he happens to be. Roscoe Winston remembers everything-every look, every word, every single unrequited second-and the last thing he needs is another memory of Simone. He’d also like to forget her entirely, but that’s never going to happen. Ten years after Simone Payton broke his heart, all Roscoe Winston wants is a doughnut.
