3.5 starsTruce was a fun read, and I much preferred it over the previous book in this series Checkmate, but it was not as good as Playing for Keeps or Perfection. What made Truce a fun read was Robert (I do love those Bradford men). He is everything you expect from a Bradford, grumpy but charming, bossy but a pushover, possessive but he crumbles for his love, and hungry very hungry.  Elizabeth is also a great character, full of strength and determination, not a pushover, knows what she wants and goes after it.  I liked the interplay and sexual tension that RL was once again been able to create between her characters.I really liked how the present and past were linked in this book, I thought is was really clever.  By having Jason being told the story of his great great great whatever grandparents, it made a really nice link between the previous books in this series and this book.  To be honest my favourite thing about this book, is the idea of the necklace, could that be any more beautiful and romantic??However, it has to be said this book is not really a historical book, and if you are after a historical read this is not the book for you. This book may be set in the past but it does not read like one and the situations/actions the characters find themselves in would probably make lovers of historical reads pull their hair out with frustration.  That is not to say I did not enjoy the setting or the time period.  I did.  I enjoyed it a lot, it made for a fun storyline and setting, but honestly I could never really believe the characters where actually from that time period.That all being said, if you are fan of RL, I think you will enjoy this book, it has her humour, her charming characters, the love/hate relationship, and of course a happy ending.Will I read it again? ProbablyWould I recommend it? For fans of this series/author
