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?

This book turned out to be quite Christmassy. With a big tree disaster and an extended loud family banter. It was hard to believe a grumpy person could be Jonathan’s level of grumpiness, but, nevertheless, there he was. I liked the fake amnesia setting. It was funny, and worked for Sam for a while. This book was not the level of Boyfriend Material enjoyment for me. I’m not even sure why. Maybe a little too much of retail talk and not enough of something else between characters.
