Description

Friendships and family abound during a week of love, laughter, and happily ever afters. Catch up with your favorite characters and enjoy Bones and Sarah’s wedding while falling in love with the newest Whiskey-world couple, Penny Wilson and Scott Beckley in this Whiskey series novella.

When everything you want is right in front of you, but it’s still out of reach…
Penny Wilson has a successful business, more friends than a girl could ask for, and a boyfriend she’s madly and passionately in love with. Scott Beckley is honest, loyal, hands down the best lover on the planet, and absolutely gaga over his nieces and nephews. Scott’s a keeper…as long as Penny doesn’t ever want to hear those three magical words that would take their relationship to the next level. Scott escaped abusive parents at seventeen and was forced to find his way alone in the world. Even though it’s been more than a decade and he’s reunited with his estranged sisters and built a good life in Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, he’s still tortured by his past. Penny knows he loves her with everything he has, but for a girl who wants a family and a guy who is afraid of having one, love might not be enough.

    In For A Penny is a short, emotionally packed story about a beautiful couple finding the courage to face their demons head on. The beautiful, sexy, sassy, and loving heroine in this story is Penny, owner of Lucious Licks in Peaceful Harbor. Penny is so full of life with such patience and courage to help her man fight the ugly demon of his childhood, abuse at the hands of his parents. While Penny’s childhood was the exact opposite of Scott’s. We first met Scott in Sarah (his sister) and Bones’ story, Wicked Whiskey Love. Scott has overcome a lot from his childhood and the accident when we first meet him. With the help of his sisters, Josie and Sarah, will Scott be able to finally allow Penny all the way into his heart? This story is so beautifully written with such strong characters, who are all just so amazing. Love this series and the author, Melissa Foster. Such a great way to spend a few hours escaping into the world of The Whiskeys

    What a great story! I have always loved Penny and was hoping she would eventually find her forever love and get her own happily ever after, just like her friends, so I was extremely excited to read this book. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and on paper things look good, but Scott has some issues from his past that is affecting his view of where he sees the two of them going. I liked visiting Echo Beach, another fun place I would like to go and the surprise he gave Penny was above and beyond anything I could have imagined, and Penny was so deserving of the invitation. Once we are back from Echo Beach, it is time for the wedding. I really felt for Penny and Scott that things had seemed to come to a head right before the wedding and they had to keep their feelings to themselves. I always love this group of friends and family and how they are always rallying around whomever needs their help, reassurance, and support. No matter the timing, both Penny and Scott were both getting the reassurance and support that they needed. The wedding was beautiful and gorgeous. I am glad that Scott’s talk with his sisters helped him to clarify things better and I loved how this story ended. Can’t wait to see what happens next for Scott and Penny.

    Scott, Sarah and Josie's older brother and Penny, Finlay's sister and Quincy's best friend, have been dating for a while. Penny wants more but knows where Scott stands on commitment due to his horrible childhood. Prior to heading to Bones and Sarah's wedding, they confess their love for each other but it doesn't change Scott's feelings on commitment. While at the wedding, Penny is so overcome with emotion being around the love all her friends have found, that she knows her relationship with Scott has to end. While the wedding festivities continue, Scott realizes that their childhood has not kept his sisters from finding their HEA and he is not going to let it keep him from getting his HEA with Penny and a surprise she has yet to disclose.

    I should have known that not even a novella was safe from Heart wrenching tears. Scott and penny grew up in 2 completely opposite worlds. Penny had a loving happy family, Scott grew up in a verbally and physically abusive home. Penny and Scott have been dating for months, Penny is ready to move forward, though Scott still can’t change his mind about not deserving happiness. We don’t delve too deep into Scott’s past just touching on the surface and it’s heartbreaking. Will Scott be able to move forward with Penny towards a future or will he continue to stay stuck in the past. Such a great novella.
  • Love this book!

    From the first chapter of In for a Penny the heat value goes from 0 to 60 in 2.2 seconds! Penny Wilson is a darling, fun heroine that cares for everyone. Since her and Quincy are besties their family and friends thought for sure they would end up together, but Penny has her eyes set on another prize worthy man. Now all she has to do is show him how worthy he is to her heart. Scott Beckley is as hot as smile on a warm sunny day. A man that any lady be lucky enough to call her own, the problem is after a turbulent past from his parents Scott doesn’t see himself as anyone’s dream guy. Can one special gal show him that he isn’t the man he thinks he is destined to be? Penny and Scott have so much chemistry, it’s a wonder the book didn’t go up in flames. I very fond of these characters from previous books in Melissa Foster’s book world. Penny is always sweet, she can make a friend on a dime. Scott even with his past is a man who anyone of us can be proud of. Can these two weather the storm that is approaching or will they lose the chance for real happiness and love? Melissa Foster I now have a new category for your books, Heart clinchers. LOL Tissue warning is definitely need for In for a Penny. It is as always fun to revisit the characters in your books. I truly enjoy the growth of each and every one. The plots details are amazing. There was a twist that I was not expecting which is always fun. Hearing about Scott, Sarah and Josie’s past through his eyes completely undid me. Another heart touching magnificent addition to my reading library. Rated 5 Stilettos and a Recommended Read by Deb!

Whether you are a fan of the Whiskey family books or not, this is a must read for romance readers. But if you love the Whiskey family, then get this now! You definitely do not want to miss it!
