A review by dadjumper
The Brutal Truth by Lee Winter

3.0

I love a slow burn romance. The problem I had with this one is the 'slow' is there from the start but the 'burn' aspect didn't really get started until 50% in. Which is a good 2+ hours of reading. In the end I did really dig the relationship, and a lot of Maddie's successes as a journo were really fun, but it just took too damn long.

I'm also kinda surprised to learn that Lee Winter is actually Australian. I feel like Maddie's internal monologue didn't feel very Aussie to me. Though maybe Aussies don't think in slang, idk
