Fake amnesia. Real feelings? Real problems. Sam Becker loves―or, okay, likes―his job. Sure, managing a bed and bath retailer isn't exactly glamorous, but it's good work and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running. He could see himself being content here for the long haul. Too bad, then, that the owner is an infuriating git. Jonathan Forest should never have hired Sam. It was a sentimental decision, and Jonathan didn't get where he is by following his heart. Determined to set things right, Jonathan orders Sam down to London for a difficult talk…only for a panicking Sam to trip, bump his head, and maybe accidentally imply he doesn't remember anything? Faking amnesia seemed like a good idea when Sam was afraid he was getting sacked, but now he has to deal with the reality of Jonathan's guilt―as well as the unsettling fact that his surly boss might have a softer side to him. There's an unexpected freedom in getting a second shot at a first impression…but as Sam and Jonathan grow closer, can Sam really bring himself to tell the truth, or will their future be built entirely on one impulsive lie?

Enemies to lovers, gay romance, fake amnesia, and british?? Knew I wanted to read this after I read Boyfriend Material. Same author, different characters. It was a slow burn but about halfway through I literally gasped and covered my mouth in the middle of the work break room. So you could say I was shook.
As a huge fan of Boyfriend Material, and Alexis Hall in general, I was very much looking forward to 10 Things That Never Happened. While it did not hit the same highs as Boyfriend Material, it was nonetheless a fun, at times heart wrenching, read, with characters it was easy to root for, and plenty of Hall’s classic banter.
