About this listen
Welcome to Moonlight Valley, Tennessee the secret paranormal sibling of Penny Reid's Green Valley and a small town where bearded werewolves outnumber the unsuspecting human inhabitants.
Twin brothers Atticus and Ford Boone may share the same face and the same supernatural secret, but where Atticus is charismatic and charming, Ford is grumpy and reserved and that's before he shifts into his wolf. When hardworking citizen scientist Alice Aymes reluctantly returns to Green Valley to restart her stalled life, she's sure she knows what to expect. She'll save up the money she needs to escape to Nashville while nursing her secret infatuation with the ever-popular Atticus Boone and fighting with her high school nemesis, his twin brother. Alice hates Ford, and he's always hated her right back. But after a case of mistaken identity has Alice kissing the wrong twin, she does what any good scientist does and analyzes the facts.
Fact #1: Its time to revisit her unrequited crush on Atticus. Who needs a white-knight fantasy man when there's a rock-solid, beaded lumberjack in your personal space?
Fact #2: Stimuli and sensory input ahoy! Growing up, Alice saw Ford as the grumpiest, sternest guy in town. They fought for years. Apparently that now sends her amygdalae into sensual overdrive.
Fact #3: The more bearded the wolf, the more protective and possessive.
As Alice finds herself irresistibly drawn to the man she loves to hate, the question lingers: How much of her level-headed heart is she willing to risk in the face of newfound desires and supernatural secrets?
Truth or Wolf, a Penny Reid Universe Reimagining, is a full-length paranormal romance, can be listened to as a standalone, and is book #1 in the Wolf Brothers series, Smartypants Romance Out of this World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Dawn Botstein is doing just fine after her divorce, thank you very much. She’s got her yarn store to run, her house to herself for the first time in her life, and no use for men anymore. That is, she didn’t until the hottie silver fox who walks into her store turns out to be her old high-school crush - the guy who rejected her 30 years ago. No way is she going to lose her head over him this time, no matter how well he wears that salt-and-pepper lumberjack beard.

Story
Former beauty queen Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous—local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself.

April 22 LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement! You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy. Well, I have a confession to make…

No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

Zara Lorna is kind of a big deal. After winning Artist of the Year (again), having a public argument with her boyfriend (again), and being whisked away by a man she barely knows (that’s new), it feels like she can’t go anywhere without drawing attention. It’s taking a toll on her and she could use a break. Asa Young was a rock star (almost). His dreams of traveling the world with his band came true (almost). He should definitely stay away from Zara, no matter how much fun they have and how easy their connection is.

Basically just Truth of Beard with some Wolf stuff
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Truth or Wolf is the first book in the Wolf Brothers series. This a paranormal retelling of Penny Reid’s Truth or Beard. Truth or Wolf can be read as a stand-alone and you do not need prior knowledge of the Winston Brothers series.
Anne Marsh has done a fantastic job of retaining the overall flavor and plot points of the original story while infusing it with plenty of fun new twists. I do like that the story is set in its own fictitious town of Moonlight Valley rather than Green Valley. All of the scenes flowed well without anything seeming forced. The chemistry between Alice and Ford is undeniable from the very beginning.
I was truly unprepared for how much I was going to love this book. If you’ve never read a paranormal romance but you’re curious, this could be a great first option for you. If you love the Winston boys, I think you’ll fall just as hard for the Boone brothers.
I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. The incomparable Joy Nash and Chris Brinkley are back to voice all of Moonlight Valley. No one else could have brought this reimagining to life.
This is the first book that I have read from author Anne Marsh and it definitely will not be the last. I plan to check out her whole backlist while I “patiently'' wait for Wolf Brothers book 2.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. I purchased a copy of the audiobook separately. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
