In the past I have enjoyed reads by R.L. Mathewson - and I was looking for a book by an author that I felt I could not go wrong with - a story that I could read and be lost with the story for a couple of days, characters that I would care about and just overall good writing.I found it again with this R.L. Mathewson book, Truce. It was NOT what I expected. It started out in present day, but then within a few pages became an Historical Romance for the entire book until the very end where it went back to present day.I fell in love with the 2 main characters. My number 1 true love in a book is a STRONG female lead. I like that the female does NOT always need her "prince charming" to swoop in and save her. I also LOVE a strong/alpha Male lead - one that respects a strong female. I really liked how the author wrote Elisabeth and Robert. Both characters have known each other since they were children and actually had a little rivalry going on between them. They loved to play practical jokes on each other - sometimes even mean ones, but no one actually got physically hurt - just sometime emotionally. They go for a time there when I don't see each other for just over 10 years and they change a lot - so much that they don't even recognize each other when they meet up again.This story caused me to feel, laugh and just smile. I never thought of myself and a "historical romance" lover but with stories like this and "Outlander" my mind could be changed.Love the story and plan to read many more by R.L. Mathewson.
