The first third of this book was sizzling and something I valued dearly. Lucy and Joshua are reluctant colleagues, who play a lot of games like "The Staring Game" and "The Mirror Game." Everything up to the elevator kiss was sizzling, sexy and hot, hot, hot. The thing was, I understand what route the author took. You know those marriage vows, for, "better or worse?" Well, about a third into the book, Lucy gets sick. Really sick. The description was so much so, that it drives all thoughts of sexiness out of your mind, and make you reach for the sick bag instead. It makes you wince, and wilt. 
 Joshua actually sticks with Lucy through this period, which obviously the author wanted us to see, to show this relationship was beyond chemistry. It was true. Because of the author's skill, I was amazed, and willing for the sexiness to come back. 
 The thing is it never really did. 
 Lucy turns into a desperate mess, trying to get into Josh's pants (understandable) and Josh turns into a tease/gentleman. It never reached back to the dizzying heights of the early chapters. She literally turns crazy over him. Anyway, these delaying tactics and stop-start way of chemistry, underwhelmed me quite a lot. Especially because that elevator kiss was so built up, and it came at such an amazing time!!!! 
 Still what I saw, is a writer I can get behind. Consistency is all I need.
