Now a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love.
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 forty (ok, fifty or sixty) 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.
This production includes a bonus excerpt from Sally Thorne’s next audiobook, 99 Percent Mine.

This book is full of cliches, with immature and annoying MC's and no character development whatsoever. It's not for me because I like to see something real that doesn't revolve around sex.

Why is this popular? This is utter crap, complete with non consensual and controlling behaviours, and isn't saved by the writing either.

This was my second time trying to read this book and it was disastrous. This book made me hate romance to the core. It was just cheap slut romance with no story and character growth. I hated Lucy who was just lusting for Josh like 24/7. Josh had more character depth and his backstory, though clique had a some meaning in the whole book. Lucy with her cute act was just soo frustrating to read and the "was i beautiful" trope was used everywhere in the book.The characters are all cliques and the story is just a smut read. It showed me that just my adding all the cute and naive ingredients don't give a beautiful book it just gives us a crappy one.This is my 1 ⭐ definite DNF for anybody picking up this book.
