Publisher’s Description:

Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.
2) A person’s undoing
3) Joshua Templeman

Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual.

Trapped in a shared office together 40 (OK, 50 or 60) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking.

If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong.

Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.

My Review:

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn’t surprised I loved this book. I always like enemies to lovers, hate to love, or whatever you like to call it. I found the characters so endearing, and the narrator for the audiobook did a great job capturing Lucy, the pint-sized little shortcake firecracker heroine.

Josh was a hard nut to crack. He totally had the brooding, stick up his butt, poker face game on point, so when everything came together at the end, it was just even that much more endearing to find out what we came to find out.

The nicknames in this book are quite hilarious. Ahem… here’s looking at you, Richard Bexley. This really was an enjoyable read, and I can’t believe I waited so long to finally read it. I went back and forth between the ebook and audio on this one, and both were just as enjoyable as the other.
