After the sudden death of her husband, Juliana finds herself the single parent of two little girls and also now the family’s sole breadwinner. After being at home for seven years, she is back in the workforce as a recruiter at an architectural firm. Things with her coworkers are great, with the exception of Ben Thomas, one of the top architects in the firm. They got off to a rocky start and now they live to antagonize each other. But even though Ben exasperates Juliana to no end, she can’t help notice how good his shirts look on his 6’4” frame. When they are put together on a project and find themselves on a work trip out of state, will the animosity give way to something more?
First of all, I love the cover of this book, it is certainly part of what drew me to the story in the first place. Secondly, I am so into a workplace romance, especially when the female lead characters are kicking a** and taking names even when they are scared out of their minds. And finally, when you have a whole cast of characters who are willing to step-up for each other, well I am totally here for that. Amy Buchanan’s Let’s Call a Truce has all of these elements and they produced a heart-warming romance about two people who have a lot going on in their lives but are finding the courage to take a leap of faith on falling in love again.
