I adore Cletus! 
 Sorry. I just had to get that out of the way, at least for now. 
 After reading and enjoying The Hooker and The Hermit I wanted to see what Ms. Reid had to offer without a co-author and bumped Truth or Beard up on the TBR list and really enjoyed it. It was a fun read with a good mix of sweet, smexy, angst and a little crazy thrown in the mix and had some great characters that I'm looking forward to get to know better as the series progresses. 
 I really liked Jessica. I loved that though she didn't necessarily fit the norm in her family, she was okay with it. She wanted to follow her dreams of seeing the world and was going to find a way to do it with or without their approval. She is intelligent and has a sassy side that was fun without being too outrageous. 
 Then there is Duane. I had a love/hate relationship with him. I loved that he was so committed to his family and tended to put them first. He's calm, logical and tends to think before he does anything and though he has a gruff exterior he has a huge heart. But dear lord did the man have tunnel vision. His need to have a plan and have things go his way had me wanting to reach out and smack him. 
 From the moment it became clear which Winston twin was the one for Jess it was a fun ride to be on as they got to know each other better. I loved their bantering and the way that they not only pushed each other, but kept each other grounded. The bumps in the road were just a tad frustrating and I'll admit that there were times when I had to question Jess's sanity as she fought for her relationship with Duane, but in the end it was well worth it. 
 As much as I enjoyed Jess and Duane, I really loved the Winston brothers, especially Cletus ~ I seriously love how his mind works. Each of them have such distinct personalities that it was fun to watch as they supported each other as well as ripped on each other and I can't wait to spend more time with them all!
