The Winston Brothers

When Jessica James returns home to Tennessee, it's only for a year or two—just long enough to pay off her student loans and start her big adventure of dreaming the world, just like she's always planned. The only problem is, that plan doesn't allow any room for love or commitment—especially not to the boy she's known her whole life but never gotten along with, all grown up into a red-bearded bear of a man who's hellbent on winning her affection once and for all.

I'd heard a little about Penny Reid's books but hadn't gotten around to checking them out until my friend Sionna suggested I give this one a try for a monthly reading challenge we both joined. I was slumping pretty hard, and a good, fluffy contemporary can usually do the trick, so I decided to give Truth or Beard a try.
