Lucy has been working as an assistant to Peter (a computer troubleshooter/programmer) for 2 years, and been lusting after him for the same period. At a business function they go to, they get trapped in an elevator. The hero has claustrophia, and after an impulsive kiss from the heroine, they end up having sex in the elevator. They didn't use a condom, and they are both secretly hoping in their own ways that Lucy will end up pregnant. Peter's feelings about this (and the prospect of Lucy dating other men) scare him. He wants more than a night, but she can't emotionally deal with an affair. With a little encouragement from Peter's friend Ethan, they talk about their feelings.
(I'm reading Ethan's story later tonight!)
This was a good read, the passion was intense, the feelings they had for one another were unique, and the vulnerability they showed about having a family together was sweet. The references to babies/families were a little frequent, the point was made a bit obvious. The book was sweet and funny though, the insights into the hero/heroine's heads were great. (At one point Ethan gave Peter a look that said "are you sure this woman is sane?" ... tee hee!)
Rating: 4/5 stars, a great read.
