Summary

Elizabeth knows what's expected of her - perfection. She's the daughter of an earl and expected to marry well and 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 whom she hasn't seen in over 14 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.

Enjoyable TRUCE

This book would have been much better if the narrator had used her own voice throughout. Would have given it 5 stars. Her attempt at different English accents was awful. Even snobby aristocrats don't talk like that, spoiled it for me.

Average story made worse by terrible accents.

The narrator's attempts at a British accent were awful. It was incredibly off putting. Story was ok but forgettable.

AVOID! Awful accents spoiled it

I was excited for this as I'd heard good things about the book, but I couldn't even listen past the 1st hour as the British accents were painful.
Returning this - no idea why they didn't get a British narrator, or at least an American who is good at accents.

loved this audiobook

What can I say, these audiobooks just keep getting better. I even appreciated Fran's British accent 😁
On to the next book.

Oh dear, what a shame!

I have loved R. L. Mathewson's other books in this series as well as some of her other works.
The narrator Fran Jules is one of my favourites to listen too and I'm deeply sorry to say this ...
Do Not Buy This Book, the English accents are appalling so awful in fact they completely destroyed the story for me

Not bad accept for the english accents

Would you consider the audio edition of Truce to be better than the print version?

This audio version is a bit off putting because of the incorrect English accents of the characters. Therefore although the books was well read (except for the criticism above) I would go with the printed version over this audio book

Would you be willing to try another one of Fran Jules’s performances?

Yes, Her other books in this series have been well read.
