If You Like Penny Reid Books, You’ll Love…
Penny Reid Synopses: Ten Trends to Seduce Your Bestfriend is a standalone novel by Penny Reid. Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser can’t stand each other—or so they claim.
Winnie, a spirited public school science teacher, is passionate about empowering women in STEM and building community online. Byron, on the other hand, is a reclusive, no-nonsense double PhD and celebrated fiction author who avoids social media like the plague. She’s drowning in student debt, while his wealth is practically legendary. They couldn’t be more different, so why are they pretending to be #bestfriends for millions of followers?
What starts as a playful online rivalry quickly spirals into an elaborate charade neither expected. But as public performances blur with private emotions, Winnie and Byron discover that sometimes, the truest feelings are hiding in plain sight—and not everything online is a façade.
Bananapants by Penny Reid is a standalone novel. Tax attorney Ava Archer dreads April, a grueling, isolating month in her line of work. So when her glamorous doppelgänger at the office offers her an unusual escape—pretending to be her for one night at an exclusive high-society party—Ava agrees. It’s one night, with no chance anyone will see through the façade… right?
Desmond Sullivan is a professional thief, but not the charming, Robin Hood variety. He’s strictly about getting paid, with one rule: never take what someone can’t afford to lose. After a decade away from Chicago, Des is forced to return to recover something priceless stolen from a close friend. Now, he must navigate the city’s elite scene—both as himself and his cunning alter ego.
When Ava and Desmond’s paths cross at the glittering event, secrets unravel, and lives collide in unexpected ways. What starts as a masquerade becomes a high-stakes game of deception, where trust is as risky as betrayal.
Truth or Beard by Penny Reid is book 1 in the Winston Brothers series. Identical twins Beau and Duane Winston might share the same smoldering good looks, but that’s where their similarities end. Beau is charming and sociable, while Duane is brooding and standoffish—qualities that Jessica James has always found infuriating. She’s spent her life hopelessly crushing on golden-boy Beau while clashing at every turn with the surly Duane.
But one night, a case of mistaken identity upends everything Jessica thought she knew. When her long-held assumptions about Duane are shattered, she discovers a man whose smoldering intensity and unexpected tenderness ignite a passion she never saw coming.
As their chemistry heats up, Jessica must face a daunting question: Is she brave enough to risk her heart on the man she once considered her greatest adversary?
