About this ebook

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

Sienna Diaz is everyone’s favorite “fat” funny lady. The movie studio executives can’t explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood’s most beautiful elite. The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna. 

But she has a problem, she can’t read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. Therefore, when Sienna’s latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the back roads of Green Valley, Tennessee. Much to her consternation, Sienna’s most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky Park Ranger by the name of Jethro Winston. 

Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it’s not Jethro’s chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. It’s his southern charm. And gentlemanly manners. And habit of looking at her too long and too often. 

Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heart-throbs. But can she traverse the tenuous trails of Tennessee without losing her head? Or worse, her heart?

Ratings and reviews

Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid is the second book in her Winston Brothers series. Yet another completely wonderful insight into the lives of these hot as hell manly men in the mountains of Tennessee. Good Lord they are all swoon-worthy, Jethro's book is absolutely no disappointment, it exceeded expectations in fact. The beauty of this is it isn't JUST Jethro and Sienna's story, we get so much of the other brothers and peripheral characters, the scene setting is so rich and visual but NOT overdone. Between Cletus and his quirks, Billy and his grudge and Roscoe and his impish innocence... I mean, how do you pick a favorite? Well, you don't, at least, I don't, I claim them all. EVERY SINGLE ONE! The story flows smoothly, never rushed, never lagging, it's told more like you are there observing and are part of it all. I love Penny's writing style and this book was just as fabulous as all the others. Again, I claim no favorite, I claim all.

I am a big fan of nerd romance and even though the characters aren't nerds the author definitely speaks my language. Her sense of humor is great. I can't wait for cletus he is too perfect and already my favorite!

SO GOOOOOD! Love this author! Funny and a total page turner!
