Her fear of touching others has placed a wall between her, her family back in Chicago and anyone who’s tried to befriend her since. It turns out there’s a very serious reason for Shelly’s attitude – she has a severe case of OCD that, among other severe symptoms, causes her to cut herself. His brother Cletus refuses to fire her and Beau makes do – and soon comes to appreciate and resent Shelly’s moxie in equal doses. He soon wants the insolent Shelly out of the garage unfortunately, with his twin brother, Duane, preparing to set off on a voyage around the world with his new girlfriend, the garage needs another mechanic, and Shelly’s the best at what she does.

Beau and Shelly proceed to get on like oil and water, and even though Beau finds her devastatingly attractive, Shelly is cold and off-putting to everyone from crude bikers to kind firemen to tiny, cute children. He’s also the kind of man who mistakes Shelly Sullivan for the stripper that said best friend has sent to him as a thank-you for doing him a big favor. In Beard in Mind, a heart-gladdening, serio-comic fourth volume chronicling the lives and loves of these seven southern-born siblings, kindly Beau gets a shot at romance with a prickly new girl who’s come to the garage to replace his twin brother Duane.īeau Winston is the kind of guy who hangs out with little old ladies and helps out with repairs at his best friend’s strip club for free. And who can blame them? They’re funny, sexy, charming, charismatic and good at soothing the most severe of tempers. Proceed with caution.Įveryone loves those Winston boys. If you find this subject matter triggering – even though the author handles it with tact – then this might not be a comfortable read for you. I am really looking forward to getting to it.īy the way, are there plans to release this book on Audible soon? I hope so, I listen to books while driving and doing all sorts of other things when I cannot sit down and read.WARNING: This book contains a main character with severe OCD who self-harms.

This is why I have yet to read this newest book, I haven’t finished re-reading the previous books in the series.

Every time there is a release for book for an existing series, I re-read the whole series again before reading the new book in the series. I have read all your books several times. I wanted to say much more but this is not a forum for said activities. Normally I do not but I feel very strongly against dishonesty of any kind. I am sorry I used this post to rant but I feel I really needed to address the previous comment. I have all her ebooks and Audible books also but I obtained them by buying them. It is like giving her a slap in the face. Are you seriously complaining about not being steal/pirate another book to the author of said books? Not cool.
