Challenge Corner discussion

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.

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[I cant believe how fucking petty they are towards each other but I AM LIVING FOR IT (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[The kiss a few chapters ago was more than steamy, godamit. I would love to see them as a couple! And I do think the books is heading into that direction pretty straight-forwardly, seeing the way Joshua is taking care of her right now. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[It like the way their relationship is progressing, they're adorable together and it's well-paced.
I wished they could be honest concerning their feelings towards each other though, just say it out loud alright! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27: (view spoiler)[I don't think it was right for Lucy to get so tangled up in their family issues but I hope that it will be for the better! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Joshua taking care of her was so damn wholesome but I just hope Lucy realices she is been judging him a lot without truly know him but also they don't talk to each a lot. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[OMG LUCY WAKE THE HELL UP GURL! Joshua is so damn jealous I know he wants to shake Lucy and punch Danny in the face. I love their interactions but they to tell each other the damn true! I hope Lucy realices all the misreadings she is giving from Joshua. Also, I KNEW THE FLOWERS WERE FROM JOSHUA! It was so damn obvious he doesn't know how to say sorry and just act. (hide spoiler)]

i mean, for me it's half the charm i suppose but it does get better further on hahahah

@Isabel: I totally get it now lmfao 😂 and yes! I already see the charm.

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[FINALLY! Lucy is starting to realize Joshua has truly feelings for her, I hope he invites her to the wedding and I'm still waiting they have a real talk, they like each other but both of them ended up thinking about is just sex. (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I loved this book so much! I didn't like everything went so fast the last chapters but I'm glad Joshua and Lucy did talk at least and she defended Joshua, that was so damn cute. I knew Patrick's fiance was related some how to Joshua but his father is really another piece of character. I want so bad an epilogue but I'm happy with that open ending. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I didn't have any trouble with that I don't like family quarrels but I also don't like how everyone just kept quiet and nobody said anything, she was the only one defending him so good for her. I loved the relationship between those two, it was so damn cute but the last few chapter every went so fast. (hide spoiler)]
