★★★★★ Goodreads Choice Award Finalist for Best Romance ★★★★★ I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this story, but enjoyed everything about it and will be continuing the series.Make a deal with the devil and you might get what you want, but will it be what you need? Cletus is hilarious and they make a sweet couple. Jenn was so naïve and beaten down, you just have to root for her and celebrate her victories. It can be read as a standalone, but has some spoilers so if you’re planning to read the series, read them in order. This is the first book in the Cletus And Jenn Mysteries, but it’s book three in the Winston Brothers series. The Winston family is highly entertaining and they welcome Jenn with open arms, giving her friendship and support for the first time in her life. It was fun to watch these two fall for each other but seeing Jenn become independent and take charge of her life was even better. Like, literally can’t refuse because the quiet, demure Banana Cake Queen is blackmailing him. He won’t help her willingly, but Jenn’s a step ahead of him, approaching him with an offer he can’t refuse. When Jenn devises a plan to improve her life, it requires help and she’s identified the perfect person to execute her plan: Cletus Winston. She’s done it for years and she’s fed up.
She never complains and is happy to bake, but the constant advertising and social media circus orchestrated by her controlling mother are just too much for her to bear.
In fact, she’s been a people-pleaser for so long, Jenn seems to have forgotten her own hopes and dreams and wants.Īt twenty-two, she just wants out of her parents’ house to escape her boring, tedious life and her situation is heartbreaking: Jenn works eighty hours per week in the family bakery but doesn’t receive any wages. Between her near-crippling shyness and overbearing parents, Jennifer Sylvester has never been comfortable being herself. While Jenn does start out that way, she quickly proves herself to be smart and independent. I initially thought the humor here was going to be cheeky satire but it was nothing of the sort. Jenn was such a mess from the beginning, she seemed like a caricature. Beard Science was hilarious and sweet, romantic and fun.
