Ashley took on a sort of sister-mom role to the guys when Bethany passed away. Billy is a senator, and Roscoe, the baby of the family, becomes a veterinarian. Jethro is a park ranger with a bit of a sordid past. Cletus, Duane, and Beau run an auto mechanic shop in Green Valley. Reid’s characters are charming and unique, and she tackles tough issues very well with her tell-it-like-it-is dialogue. The brothers are ultra-charming and handsome, but also prone to mischief. Bethany and Darrell had 6 boys (Billy, Jethro, Cletus, red-headed twins Duane & Beau, Roscoe) and one girl, Ashley. Sweet Bethany’s only bad habit was staying with Duane’s despicable daddy, Darrell Winston, who is in jail due to his illegal exploits with the local biker gang, the Iron Wraiths. Duane’s mama, Bethany, was the beloved town librarian but she passed away at a young age after a fairly quick battle with cancer. The first book in the series is called Truth or Beard and is the story of Duane Winston. Of all Reid’s books, my favorite are the Winston Brothers series. I knew immediately that I would enjoy her books, and man was I spot-on! Her writing is so refreshing, full of hilarious banter, romantic escapades, and a strong bond between a Southern family of six bearded brothers living in small-town Green Valley, TN.
Of the over 50 authors I met there, Penny was the most humble, kind, and hilarious one. I met author Penny Reid at the 2019 Book Bonanza in Dallas, TX this past August. I’m not a huge series reader, but I must tell you about my all-time favorite series.
