I tried so very hard to like 10 Things That Never Happened but literally everything about it annoyed me. 
Firstly the premise was so contrived  I know some people like a wacky romance but for me a contemporary romance should be in some ways grounded in reality. So the idea of your boss letting you live with him for an indefinite period of time because he thinks you have amnesia was just too beyond the pale of believability for me to get on board with.

Maybe the book still could have worked if I liked Sam and Jonathan's dynamic but unfortunately i found most of their scenes together insufferable. This is unfortunately one of those books that thinks incessant bickery is witty banter so all of the time our leads spent together was like nails on a chalkboard. And to make matters worse Hall fills the book with an endless stream of "quirky" characters that are supposed to be funny and charming but are just as annoying as our leads. 

Honestly I'm beginning to think the Alesis Hall books I liked may have just been a fluke because so many of their novels I;'ve tried have been colossal failures.
