About this ebook

"Brilliance on every single page."—CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Boyfriend Material

What if one impulsive lie gave you the second chance you never knew you needed?

From USA Today bestseller Alexis Hall, 10 Things That Never Happened is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn queer rom-com brimming with British wit, workplace tension, and unexpected heart.

Sam Becker's job isn't glamorous, but the quirky team he manages feels like home. Even his boss, the cold and calculating Jonathan Forest, has become a part of his strange little routine. Then comes a clumsy accident, a panicked lie about amnesia, and one very guilty billionaire whose icy exterior starts to thaw.

Jonathan shows up with soup, softness, and something dangerously close to care. As Sam fakes forgetfulness to keep the peace, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. But a relationship built on a lie can only last so long and Sam's running out of time to tell the truth.

A delightfully fun spinoff to the bestselling London Calling series, this witty, emotionally layered romance delivers on the tension of enemies-to-lovers, the comfort of found family, and the quiet thrill of discovering someone might actually see you.

"The apotheosis of the rom-com."—Entertainment Weekly, A+ Review, for Boyfriend Material

"Delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Husband Material

"Every once in a while you read a book that you want to SCREAM FROM ROOFTOPS about. I'm screaming, people!"—Sonali Dev, award-winning author, for Boyfriend Material

Alexis Hall always writes an entertaining story, and 10 Things That Never Happened is thoroughly enjoyable. A sweet slow-burn, enemies to lovers romance, this one is super charming. Hall sets a mellow pace in 10 Things That Never Happened. The characters gradually reveal themselves, and we get to watch as their connection grows from dislike to friendship, and finally to mutual respect and sprking hot attraction. What a pleasure!

No me gustó. Le doy 2 estrellas porque el romance es ligeramente entretenido pero todo lo del engaño me pareció ridículo e innecesario. Sumamente inmaduro para ser una historia de 2 hombres adultos, parecía que ambos actuaban y pensaban como adolescentes. En cierto punto (más del 60% del libro) se me hizo desesperante y lo abandone. Odio decir algo malo de un libro pero... ni modo.

Sam is a sunshine-y optimistic person with soft heart. He always sees the best in people even at his own perils. I love how openly and freely he loves. He managed to see the real man behind the harda&& boss I loved the dry humor. The hilarious interactions among Jonathan's family members. The holiday vibes.
