Life in The Big Apple leaves her feeling strangely alienated. Maddie can never resist a good story though, and when she meets boss, Elena Bartell, Maddie becomes determined to uncover what lies beneath her icy façade…With themes of age-gap, workplace, and ice queen all interwoven into a story that takes the reader from New York to Australia, this is a romance with plenty to grab the attention. Both the lead characters are interesting, although it’s that of Elena that really takes centre stage. Introduced as a ruthless but extraordinarily successful business woman, the key to the story is how Maddie gradually chips-away at the hard-hearted image Elena projects to reveal the woman beneath.This is a slow-burn romance that really does take its time and, even though I generally enjoy this type of novel, I did find myself wanting to shake Maddie into action on more than one occasion. There is however much to recommend: The story is a good one, Elena Bartell’s character is a delight and, as always with a book by Lee Winter, the quality of writing and presentation is excellent.Overall: Entertaining, and Elena Bartell’s character is fabulous as the ice queen of the piece. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Totally in love with this book! *by C***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2019* One word for this book…CLASSIC!This wonderful, exciting, fashionable, story is the ultimate, and contains everything I love. Drama, conflict, passion, ice queen, age gaps, humour, style, seriously, there are so many ways to describe this book, but perfect sums it up.From the very first page, I was hooked, and I made sure to savour every bit of it and make the reading experience last as long as I could. (And seriously I purchased it over a year ago, so why I waited so long to read it…I don’t know!) The main characters, Maddie, and Elena couldn’t be more different, and yet the same if they tried and they are a match made in heaven.Everything about Elena is just amazing, and Maddie was a cool and refreshing contrast to her power and authority that really intensified the relationship between them.The best thing, and I mean the best thing was Lee Winter’s ability to really bring this story to life with vivid imagery, an exciting, intense plot, and brilliant characters that felt so real you just had to close your eyes and you were right there with them in the story. There really was no reason not to love this book, at all. It really is everything.Then we come to the talent in making the Duchamp characters, Natalii and Veronique so amazing you could really hear their dialogue in a French accent as you were reading it. Pure genius.I highly recommend this book, and if you haven’t read it yet…seriously why not?If you have been putting off reading this book, and already have a copy, or it is sitting in your wish list, then seriously – treat yourself. You won’t regret it. What are you waiting for?We’re done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing *by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2022* The characters, the story, the slow burn. Amazing. The two mains played off each other so well. It's morning as I write this. A quick 10 minute read before saw me stay up all night to see how it ended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/66315032-the-brutal-truth](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/66315032-the-brutal-truth) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
