Book Review: Truce by R.L. Mathewson
TruceA Neighbor From Hell NovelR.L. Mathewson
SynopsisElizabeth knows what’s expected of her, perfection. She’s the daughter of an Earl and expected to marry well, say and do the right things with a smile on her face when inside she’s dying for a chance to escape. Thanks to an inheritance her godmother left her years ago, her chance will come with her next birthday. Her hopes of escape abruptly end when Robert, her childhood nemesis that she hasn’t seen in over fourteen years, comes back into her life and does everything he can to drive her out of her mind even as he steals her heart. He hated her. At least, he tried to hate her, but it was so damn difficult to hate someone that he couldn’t live without. He tried to ignore her, tried to focus on anything but her, but nothing worked. Somehow she made her way into his heart and started to make him want things that he never thought possible, made him smile and laugh even while she drove him out of his mind and started a legacy by turning him into….. A Bradford. Author's Note: This is first and foremost a historical novel. This novel is written differently than the other Neighbor from Hell books. Truce is about a man who takes everything too damn seriously and can’t let go of the past until the woman that he would love to hate comes back into his life and brings out the Bradford within.
ReviewOh how I love the Bradford boys! Truce was much what you would expect from a book in the Neighbor from Hell series. It was funny and infuriating as you just wanted to smoosh Elizabeth and Robert’s heads together and tell them to kiss and play nice. It is a mild historical romance. And by that I mean it is low on historical (good for people who are just testing the historical genre waters) and high on the romance (as is expected from R.L. Mathewson.) It is not my favorite in the series but was a fun read. It was nice to see where it all began.

P.S. I am very disappointed I didn't get to meet R.L. at her signing in Hershey a few weeks ago. I had plans to go but after I had gotten off of work a migraine hit and I spent the day in bed. Maybe next time.
