Publisher's Summary

This is a full-length novel, the fourth book in the Knitting in the City series.

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 Amazon kindle 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.

Hmmmm…

I was really involved right up to the epilogue. That chapter was vaguely creepy. Maybe I’m not ‘poetic’ enough..

Love Drew and Ashley’s Story

It is fun and witty and relatable.
Good to see the rest of the Knitting team showing love and support as they always do with each other.
Love the crossover with the Winston Boys.

Fun for the poets at heart

Kudos to Penny Reid, the comedic educated modern woman's romance novelist...this was such fun to listen to ...I also enjoyed all the different American accents

Love this series!

This has been the most emotional of the books so far, whilst still containing many laughs and antics that make you smile! Partly I think as I know the emotional roller coaster of losing a parent, also because of the depth of writing by the author on this subject, not to mention the narrators skill in bringing the try to life!

Thanks Penny Reid you’ve made me fall in love with another Winston

I read the Winston Brothers Series and The 2 Solving for Pie books (Cletus & Jen are my absolute favourites) before I started the Knitting in the City series and I was SO EXCITED for Ashley’s book and to go back to where it all began with her 6 bearded brothers and her love story with Drew. All of Penny’s books are rivetingly funny, romantic (duh!), sexy & smart with just the right amount of pop culture mixed in and Beauty and the Mustache did not disappoint. I LOVE how both series intertwine with each other and I enjoyed getting to know Ashley all over again and to understand her perspective on why she left Green Valley and started a life in Chicago. The Winston siblings and their significant others will forever have a place in my heart.

Another Masterpiece

Another Masterpiece by Penny. Can't get enough of this author. I love how easy Penny's novels are to listen to, but still in-depth and enthralling.

cute Southern accents and romance

very enjoyable story to have a long listen on my 6 hour road trip. I was hooked within 5 minutes. All the characters came to life in this well written love story. I liked hearing about the countryside in Tennessee. gosh the accents were hilarious, so intense!

Brilliant, not enough stars to give

I have read the books before but thought I'd listen to them through audible, I'm so glad I did. Loved the narration of this book, I laughed out loud, I cried, I just loved it. Penny Reid is one talented writer.
