Beards, brothers, and bikers! Oh my!
Identical twins Beau and Duane Winston might share the same devastatingly handsome face, but where Beau is outgoing and sociable, Duane is broody and reserved. This is why Jessica James, recent college graduate and perpetual level-headed good girl, has been in naïve and unhealthy infatuation with Beau Winston for most of her life. His friendly smiles make her tongue-tied and weak-kneed, and she's never been able to move beyond her childhood crush. Whereas Duane and Jessica have always been adversaries. She can't stand him, and she's pretty sure he can't stand the sight of her....
But after a case of mistaken identity, Jessica finds herself in a massive confusion kerfuffle. She has spent her whole life paralyzed by the fantasy of Beau and her assumptions of Duane's disdain; therefore she's unprepared for the reality that is Duane's insatiable interest, as well as his hot hands and hot mouth and hotter looks. Not helping Jessica's muddled mind and good girl sensibilities, Duane seems to have gotten himself in trouble with the local biker gang, the Iron Order.
Certainly, Beau's magic spell is broken. Yet when Jessica finds herself drawn to the man who was always her adversary, now more dangerous than ever, how much of her level-headed heart is she willing to risk?

A Great New Series By Jenn I had to read this book slowly and not because it required it but because my schedule of travel, school and home required that I not read it like I wished and like it called for me too. Though I think now the forced slow down of reading it was a blessing because I got to savor it. For over 2 weeks I got to read about Duane and Jessica and their love and it was amazing. This book reads quickly, so you don’t even realize how much of it you have read until you look down at the page number/percentage.This book like all Penny books gives you something unique. There is humor, light heartedness, depth and a little education. I love that about Penny Reid’s books. Even more so I love that each character is unique and not a copy of another from past stories or even within the same book. The one similarity I find in her characters is between the female leads and that is this:They are SMARTThey are STRONGThey are REALI love that fact and it always leaves me coming back for more. This book is the first in a spin off series from her Knitting in the City Series and all began because of book #4 in KitC, Beauty and the Mustache. It was there we were first introduced to the Tennessee brothers known as the Winston brothers. They are all bearded and unique in their own way (I can’t wait for Cleatus’s book). These boys might be raised in the Tennessee hills but they are anything but hillbillies. They are intelligent, soulful, respectful men and reading about them is an amazing adventure.So what does this book give you? Sexy Gandalf, Truth or Dare, Biker troubles, sweetness, honesty, family drama and family love, Steam and an appreciation for muscle cars, good men, good women and sadly some not so nice people (like the real world).Truth of Beard was a home run for me and I am now eager more than ever to read more about the Winston brothers and to find out more about this family.

One can trust Penny Reid to be brave enough to deviate so far from the usual darkly handsome hero****RED HEADED & BEARDED HERO*** whoop!!!!Positives:1. Loved Duane's description. His manly career (a man who works with his hands doing real herd labour **swoon**) - makes a change from the suited business types or the biker criminal types.2. Loved the sample - the way Jess hates Duane but mistakenly assumes he is his twin was hot.3. Loved Jess's LOTR obsession. Who wouldn't want to be Gandalf?----------------------------------------------Negatives1. SURPLUS of INNER MONOLOGUES - it's tedious reading about a person's every emotional feeling.2. Jess was a quirky LOTR-fan interesting character to begin with but transforms into your typical blonde beautiful, angst-y hormonal silly cliché after the sample finishes.3. Too much swooning and insta-lust.4. They fell in love without any build-up. At the beginning she hates him with a passion - then the next day loves him with a passion (and constantly wants to get into his pants).5. Surplus of characters and subplots that focused on setting the next set of books for the series that that it compromised the plot.6. The plot wasn't anything special and dragged. I skipped to the end.7. I loved Duane he's a redhead and has a beard - BUT - his constant emotion sharing, angst over Jess etc was off-putting. He was emasculated t times.Penny's other hero's generally tend to be reserved.8. Chemistry sizzles out a few pages after the sample.9. Most of the times - we are told how they feel - but I didn't feel the connection.10. Didn't like the scene at the race where Jess goes crazy in lust for Duane (it happens so quickly) to the point she's acting like a race bunny - it didn't make sense and just didn't add to the book.----------------------------------------------Not a bad book, but not as good as Penny Reid's first book. I think if the:(i)love-hate relationship continued past the sample;(ii) a slow-build-up of emotions rather than insta-love/lust;(iii) the focus was on Jess and Duane (rather than setting the next set of the series); and(iv) there was more banter, chemistry, quirkiness and plotit would have scored a 5* from me.

But being back in Green Valley means having to cross paths with the Winston brother again, especially Beau, who renders her completely speechless. But when she finds out that she was actually making out with his twin Duane Winston - who, incidentally, she can't stand - things change. Considerably.What I loved about this book:The wonderful male MCThe Winston brotherPenny Reid's humor-laden writingWhat I felt needed improvement:The story was missing an epilogueThe female MC was a bit wishy-washyThe story stalled after the 50-60% markHaving read a couple of Penny Reid books so far, I knew I wanted to give Truth Or Beard a chance, let alone for the cheesy cover, which, along with the title made it sound quite intriguing."I wondered if we would disagree about the color of the sky on our date, fall into our old habit of debating and making mountains out of molehills. The possibility was exciting."From the first page on, I fell in love with Penny Reid's writing style. It was extremely funny (the main characters have a brand of self-deprecation that is just too good to be true) and at the same time, it was hot. I was extremely giddy when reading this book and in the beginning, there wasn't a single page that could get a chuckle out of me. The relationship between Duane and Jessica was special, since they hated each other being kids, and now that they bump into each other again, they have this incredibly hot mutual attraction to each other, it's insane. But, you know, given the fact that they still have the urge to pick on each other all the time, there is some wonderful (and funny) chemistry between them."Did I want to kiss the hell out of him? Yes, I did. Did I want to wrap his banana and let him have his way with my coconuts? Yes. I wanted that to happen."I absolutely loved Duane. I am not into beards, or redheads, but I would have liked to see him in the flesh. He was the perfect male MC for this book: grumpy and reserved on the outside, yet a real gentleman when you get to know him. I was less impressed with Jessica just because - despite all her efforts - she really did seem like a flake. There's nothing wrong with wanting to explore the world, but it was like she was talking the talking more than she would walk the walk - she's basically living off her parents until she has enough money to travel...And then, for some reason, around the 50% mark, the book started stalling, or at least moving forward extremely slowly. From then on, it took me ages to finish Truth Or Beard . The book revolves around two main intrigues (the main characters relationship and Duane's trouble with a local biker gang), and they just suddenly become boring, even though they get tied up quite nicely in the end.In the end, I was a bit disappointed that there were a couple of things in this story that just didn't add up. Actually, it's not that they didn't add up, it's more that some things were left with loose ends at the end of the story. Let's take for example the story around Jessica's aunt. It's not going to spoil anything when I tell you that it turns out her aunt is actually her mother. It's not going to spoil anything because that piece of information comes up in the story but has absolutely no impact on it whatsoever. And than there's this story around the biker guy, Repo, who I am sure is somehow related to Jessica, but the matter is only being hinted at, and not picked up. And yeah... there was just no real epilogue here, so this was a major disappointment.But thankfully, there was one aspect of the book I enjoyed the heck out: I loved the side characters. Well, the Winston Brothers, that is! They were all incredibly adorable and charming, and added a whole lot of flair to the book. I can't wait to hear Beau's story, because he is the corny and foodie one! At the end of the book, we get a sneak peak at the next book in the series, which will be Jethro's story. But again, this yielded disappointment. I didn't mind reading about Jethro next, but I was convinced he was pining after Claire (Jessica's friend), and that the story revolved around that.Anyway, I'll be giving this one a try (it's called Grin And Beard It ) hoping it will have the same spirit and humour and that it is going to be a little more polished where side stories are concerned. Now that would make it perfect.
