By choosing to pick up this one, I've come out on top because I haven't read anything like this book - and my goal is to work my way through the subgenera of romance.
I'm 40% of the way through and it feels like I've been reading for hours, but it is about 4 3/4 hours with 7 hours to go. Not sure I can last that long, which is why I'm making a note now. Probably will, as it is well written, and narrated expertly by Angela Dawe.
Wannabe reporter Maddie is a marvellous character, empathetic, who works for the "brutal" boss, Elena, head of a self-made media empire.
The novel is written from Maddie's pov. At first Maddie is not impressed by Elena, then decides she's occasionally human, which is worth exploring. Then she begins to fall for her boss - it has an implausible ring. But it does set up the drama for a romance plot.
Elena is an ice queen, and apparently the power and authority of an ice queen is one of the themes that people go for in this subgenre. Too icy for me, but still, interesting to know that this is something people are drawn to. Another theme, the slow burn, is well done here, because there's plenty happening to entertain along the way. However, the novel is exceptionally long for a romance, which I'm usually quick to criticise, but I'll reserve judgement!
Yet another talented Australian author I've never heard of until I swam into romance land:
"Lee Winter is an award-winning veteran newspaper journalist who has covered courts, crime, news, features and humor writing for almost three decades around Australia. Now a full-time author and part-time editor at Ylva, Lee is also a two-time Lambda Literary Award finalist and a triple Golden Crown Literary Award winner."… (meer)
