The merger of two publishing houses has left a new business with two co-CEO's and two assistants. For Lucy Hutton, being the assistant to the CEO is her dream job. But the merger has left her friendless. She spends her days sitting across from the other assistant, and her nemesis, Joshua Templeman. Joshua is Lucy's opposite. Always precise and unemotional, he seems baffled by Lucy's bubbly personality. The two hate each other at first sight, and now spend their time constantly mocking and goading each other. But as word that a new position could mean a promotion for one of them, their slow-boiling battles turn into an all-out war.

I heard a lot about this debut novel and thought I'd give it a try. I ended up staying up half the night because I couldn't put it down. The humor and banter between Lucy and Josh was hilarious. I smiled throughout the whole book. And, the sexual chemistry was off the charts. Everything just worked in this book. This is an incredible "enemies to lovers" story that I highly recommend. My rating: 5 Stars.
