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. Jessica James 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 Wraiths.
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-head heart is she willing to risk?

4 Platypires for Truth or Beard
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed "Truth or Beard" and thought it was just delightful. After the first chapter I was hooked. Come on! Sexy Gandolf? WTF! That was just hilarious and I knew I was gonna like it. The writing was great and I freaking love all the quotes at the start of each chapter. I am a quote fan so that was just awesome. I really liked the love story between Jessica & Duane. My only complaints to the story is that I felt their were a tad too many characters. There were times where I was a tad confused about each brother and their personality type. I gather it was to set up for the next books in the series but I even felt there were a lot of other side characters. My other complaint is the biker story-line. I thought at first they came across as kinda silly and not at all dangerous. What biker gives a 2 week deadline? Of course my only comparisons is watching documentaries on bikers and lots of episodes of Sons of Anarchy. Personally I do not know anybody in a real biker gang. My opinion of the biker gang later changed but that happen later in the book. I do not want to give away spoilers. Other than those two issues I really did like this book and freaking can't wait to read more in this series.
I would highly recommend this series for fans of quirky romance stories.
