Beauty and the Mustache

Written by Penny Reid

Narrated by Joy Nash

If he hates her so much, why does he keep looking at her like that?

From the New York Times Bestselling Author Penny Reid

There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Former beauty queen, Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her one-click addiction. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous— local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds she’s lost her heart in small town Tennessee.

Beauty and the Mustache is book #4 in the Knitting in the City series, and book #0.5 in the Winston Brothers series. Each book is a standalone, full length (110k words), contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the misadventures and exploits of seven friends in Chicago, all members of the same knitting group.

My god this series is the best I’ve ever read. Honestly, penny Reid is an absolute genius. And the narrators ? incredible

[Ruthi · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Loved the book at first, but it should have ended with Ash's mom dying and drew not letting Ash go. The author dragged the book unnecessarily until it became boring!

[richjj · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It's a little slow, and obvious. I also wonder if it's the reader or writer who mistaked 'palatable' for 'palpable', and a few other similar things.

"I love the fire most because of what it leaves behind. Ash. Fire leaves behind ash." Such a great read. Joy Nash gives life to the amazing world of Penny's characters and we are snatched into the mountains of Green Valley, Tennessee. Ash and Drew's story will make you believe in romance. Drew's Poetry will warm your heart.
