A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2012 Advent Calendar collection Evergreen.
After a car accident, Adam wakes up in a hospital room with no memory and a man named Joe, who acts like his boyfriend. So when Joe says Adam is straight - and Joe's not - and they're just best friends and roommates, Adam is more than a little confused. But as Adam starts to fill in the gaps, the one thing that becomes apparent is that Joe is the missing piece that can't be replaced.

About the author
Chris Scully
19 books149 followersCHRIS SCULLY lives in Toronto, Canada. She grew up spinning romantic stories in her head and always dreamed of one day being a writer even though life had other plans. Her characters have accompanied her through career turns as a librarian and an IT professional, until finally, to escape the tedium of a corporate day job, she took a chance and began putting her daydreams down on paper.
Tired of the same old boy-meets-girl stories, she found a home in M/M romance and strives to give her characters the happy endings they deserve. She divides her time between a mundane 9-5 cubicle job and a much more interesting fantasy life. When she’s not working or writing (which isn’t often these days) she loves puttering in the garden and traveling. She is an avid reader and tries to bring pieces of other genres and styles to her stories. While her head is crammed full of all the things she’d like to try writing, her focus is always on the characters first. She describes her characters as authentic, ordinary people—the kind of guy you might meet on the street, or the one who might be your best friend.
Although keeping up with social media is still a struggle given her schedule, she does love to hear from readers.

Romance buenrollero!
Oh my, this is the living proof that there are lots of authors who can't give life and emotion to long stablished relationships and that then there are others who do. Chris Scully is amongst the second group, and in a space of few pages, no less. Unbelievable!
This little love story is charming, funny and adorable. I loved every page of it. I laughed at every joke. And my heart swelled in the most heart-aching moments, because there are some of those, too.
Since the moment Adam opens his eyes I has connected to him. Joe is next to him in the hospital and he feels such an emotion towards that man he instantly knows he's someone important. Afterwards, he finds out that man is his boyfriend and everything makes sense. But at home the man tells him they are just BFF and that Adam is straight, but he himself is gay. He's really surprised to hear that, because they act and live together as a couple! Why are they not together? They fit together!
Seriously, if you have the chance to spend time with these two, don't doubt about it, it's worth it!

Chris Scully's first debut, Fourth and Long, was one of my favorites from 2012 Time Is Eternity Daily Dose. I loved that one so much, I decided to take a chance with her sophomore novella.
Adam wakes up after a car accident, can't remember anything. But a man named Joe is by his side, and tells Adam that Joe is his best friend, and that he will take care of everything. Though the nurse said that Joe was his boyfriend, Joe tells Adam that they are not, that Adam is straight, and Joe told the nurse that only so he could be by Adam's side at the hospital. But Adam feels that Joe is hiding something ...
Amnesia is a tricky subject -- I think some readers find it a "lazy" plot. I, on the other hand, love it. Yes, I love amnesia stories. When they're done right, they're good... and this one, I personally think it's one of them.
I find the emotion between Adam and Joe as honest and intense. These are two people who actually in love with one another, but too afraid to screw up their friendship since they have been best friends for almost twenty years. When Joe tells their past to Adam, to help Adam remembers things, I am so engaged to that. I want Adam to remember things, I want them to be together so badly.
It's a beautiful story, and I guess I will keep Ms. Scully on my radar for her next books.
PS: Sexually tame because there aren't any sex scenes. There are kissing scenes but when things are about to get better, Joe's family cock-blocked them *lol*

A sweet story about bestfriends who are made for each other but suffer from misunderstandings. This has an actual workable concept of retrograde amnesia that cleverly moves the story along. Great chemistry, great secondary characters. Wonderful little Christmas story.

What a sweet story, it's short but I didn't feel like anything was missing or I needed more.
Adam wakes up in the hospital with a lot of pain but without his memory. Joe his best friend for the last 18years is there for him every step of the way. We find out about their history together from Joe trying to jog Adam's memory and from photos and Adam's deep feelings for Joe.
It's told from Adam's POV but Joe comes through just as strongly as he does and it left me with a happy warm and fuzzy feeling!

Having just read a hot and heavy BDSM series this was absolutely perfect for what I needed next and that was a short sweet, comfort read that left me feeling all ' Awww ' and sappy! I adored this. The amnesia wasn't annoying, the gay/straight conundrum was pitched perfectly and the fact that the only sex involved in the story was hot, tingly kisses was just lovely, it just made me feel happy and contented and I didn't want it to end. Treat yourself because this is Delightful!

Amnesia plotlines are always hit or miss for me. Luckily, this one falls in the hit column.
When Adam wakes up in hospital, he finds himself physically broken and mentally confused. He can’t remember who he is, let alone what happened to lead him there. All he knows is that the beautiful man he finds by his bedside when he wakens makes him feel safe, even if he can’t recall who he is. Turns out, the man, Joe, is Adam’s long time gay BFF, which makes sense considering Adam’s innate feelings of warmth and safety towards him. But considering his immediate and intense feelings concerning Joe, Adam can’t figure out why the two of them aren’t more than friends, because as far as Adam can tell, “friends” doesn’t seem like a strong enough term for what they are to one another.
I was immediately engaged in this story and I wholly adored MCs, Adam and Joe. Adam’s feelings for Joe were palpable from the moment he awoke in the hospital bed. I was completely convinced of his love, regardless of the fact he couldn’t remember all the details of their shared history together The hurt/comfort feels were strong, with a side order of a beautifully crafted friends-to-lovers story that knocked me on my ass from its intensity.
I can’t imagine reading this story without immediately diving into the sequel, When Adam Kissed Me. The two should definitely be read together, as this first novella ended quite abruptly, leaving me desperate to know what happened next for Adam and Joe .

Oddly, this story didn't fire for me. I think a lot of the blame can be laid at the feet of my current scoffing of high-sucrose Xmas shorts. This is sweet, but it's not that sweet, and so it becomes the literary equivalent of tasting a slice of melon after crunching handfuls of poprocks: just blah nothing.

What a wonderful read this was, a real little Christmas Cracker!! Only 68 pages, but a lot of emotions are packed into the pages, and I'm really pleased that the sequel is coming out shortly. 4.25 stars and 4 ♥♥♥♥ from me. Adored it.

This has to be one of the sweetest, most romantic stories I have ever read. Although the theme of amnesia has been overused to death, this one was realistic--a temporary amnesia associated with a concussion that was not drawn out ridiculously long.
Adam's feelings were so lovely and true and he was a good man. Both were good men and I could see why
One thing I really liked that wasn't what I expected was that
The only thing that seemed odd to me was that in the beginning, when the nurse mistakenly calls Joe his boyfriend, Adam is mildly curious, not at all thinking, "I'm gay?" There's no mention of that at all. I think when you're in the hospital with serious injuries and you're told you're gay, you'd have to think a minute. Your brain certainly isn't going, "Hell yeah, I'm hot for men, right now!"
But this was probably on purpose. Seriously, I can't think of anything I didn't like about this story. Easily 5 stars.

This is a really lovely short story. I love a good friends to lovers book, add in an injured MC and you have me hooked.
Adam and Joe have been friends for 18 years. Joe is out and proud, Adam is straight... Or so we are led to believe. But things have a funny way of coming out. And after an accident that leaves Adam with amnesia, we start to realise he might not be as straight as we have believed. Throw in a wonderful family and some painful memories and you have the basics of this lovely story. One that I loved.

Loved it. Even with the present tense, I adored this short. I just wish it had been longer, not even necessarily novel length, but it finished just as it was beginning, and I had so many questions as to what happens next & actually who were these men. That being said, I thought this was a perfect pick-me-up for the holidays, and I truly loved all the characters. Def a re-read when I'm in the mood.

This was a sweet Christmas story. I'm a sucker for stories that involve characters with strong friendships that only get stronger with love. That was exactly what I got with this one. I enjoyed how Adam could basically start again because of his lack of memory and see things from a different perspective and realize what is important.

I ♥'ed this sooooooo much!!! Sweet friends to lovers story with lots of yummy tension! Gah! I couldn't get enough of Adam and Joe...thank god there is a sequel!

Right from the first page when Adam woke up to find Joe by his hospital bed, I was hooked. I needed to know how these two fit together. Joe took such good care of Adam. You just knew there was something there. Joe's family was a real treat. They really brought the story full circle for me. I'm thrilled to see that Joe and Adam's story continues. Ill be downloading that for sure.

It seems I have a sweet spot for amnesia stories. There is just something about the anxiety of what was and what will come that pulls me in every time. An added twist here....gay for you. When Adam gains consciousness he is in extreme pain and it clouds the confusion of his memory loss. The only thing he is acutely aware of is...his lifeline. He doesn't know who he is, but he knows he needs him.
When he learns that the man who refuses to leave his bedside is not his boyfriend but his best friend he is even more confused. Why is he so deeply disappointed to discover that Joe (his angel) is gay and he is straight. Or is he?
The best thing about a fresh start is that you can make it how you want it. New beginnings allow you to mold your future to your liking. What Adam wants more than anything is to have Joe by his side. Maybe he doesn't have to squash his desire for more if Joe feels the same. Should he risk crossing the invisible line? What happens if he is wrong? Some things you just can't take back. Either way it's a risk, but one he is willing to take.
Bit on the short side, but it hooked me from the get go. Family fun, sweet young love and smooth writing. Low on the heat but heavy on the awww's.
I always enjoy friends to lovers and then GFY?
Cherry on top.

Hhhmmm...
Childhood friends to lovers is my #1 most favorite theme in m/m romance. The second one is 'for health or sickness'. And guess what? This book has both!
Joe and Adam were like Batman and Robin. The hero and the sidekick. One could not exist without the other. Yet, for almost 2 decades of being best friends, they couldn't bring themselves to tell the other person how they felt, even though everyone else could see how they felt for each other.
They lived together. They worked for a same company. They took holidays together, and Joe cooked special breakfast for Adam. Yet, they were not in the relationship. Why? Because Joe was a pride out gay, but Adam was not. He even had girlfriends--many broke up with him because they couldn't compete with Joe (including the last one). Everything went well, until one day Joe told Adam something that made Adam ran toward the street. And got hit by an SUV.
This is a novella, but we get a lot from it. The background. The characters. The family members. Etc. The basic plot, friends-to-lovers, is not new, but the angle in which the author brings in is refreshing.
It's sweet, but not tooth-achingly sweet. One of my all time favorite novella.

Really lovely story about Adam and Joe. It takes a near tragedy for both Joe and Adam to tell each other their true feelings. Shame it wasn't novel length.
After an accident, Adam loses his memory. He may not remember details of his life but his heart knows the truth.
"I don't remember you" I rasp. And somehow that is worse than the pain, because this man has shed tears for me, has hardly left my side, and I've just forgotten him.
"Maybe up here." Joe gently strokes my forehead, then slides his hand down to hover over my heart, "But what about in here?" It's so simple but it's true. deep down inside where it matters most, I do know him. From the moment I opened my eyes, something in me recognized him.

A very sweet story about Adam and Joe. Adam wakes up in the hospital with retrograde amnesia and quickly assumes the man at his bedside is his boyfriend. It’s not until they return to their apartment that Joe tells him they are just best friends and roommates. Joe is gay, but Adam is not. As Adam’s memory returns, he starts to realize that he’s been denying his feelings for Joe all this time. A very enjoyable read :)

This was a pick when I was looking for a short friends-to-lovers story. Something to read late at night when I didn't want to get into a new, longer book. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing.
MC Adam wakes up in the hospital after being hit by a car and quickly realizes he has no long term memories from before the accident. He is lovingly tended to by a man named MC Joe who tells Adam that they are roommates and best friends. As Adam gets better, he realizes that Joe is much more to him than a friend, but is unable to remember why. As his memory starts to come back, all answers are revealed.
The premise for this book sounds fantastic, but the outcome was dry and stale and lacked emotion. We are only in Adam's head, so we don't get Joe's side of things until he verbally tells us.
Yes, the boys are both in love with each other, which is awesome, but the big reveal was anti-climatic and then the story ended quite suddenly.
There is a sequel out called When Adam Kissed Me which I understand contains the hot sex scenes we didn't get with this book, but I'm just not invested enough with these characters to read it.
Cannot recommend.

I think having read The River Leith and now this, I've come to the realization that I have a thing for amnesia stories, so please feel free to rec them to me anytime!!
Adam wakes up from an accident with no memory. However, there's handsome Joe, who he discovers is his BFF. Joe has barely left his side as he recuperates, and Adam can't believe they're not boyfriends! Wth??
So yeah, I regurgitated the blurb. However, for such a short novella this had just the right amount of hurt/comfort, UST, and feels. My only complaint - where the hell was the virgin smex?? Oh wait. There's a sequel!!
Yippee!!
I'm not kidding about those recommendations!! Bring em!

A really sweet and slow moving romance.
Seeing the love Joe has for Adam, and then seeing Adam remember was lovely.
I also really liked the fact the author did not make Adams injuries disappear so they could write detailed sex scenes. A refreshing change.
Would love to read a follow on, especially with the whole family again.

This was the perfect short story to tuck me into bed. I saw this popping up on Goodreads and was curious, reading the blurb had me smiling so I dove in and I went for it, and l love it when I trust my instincts with books. This did not disappoint. It had me from the first few lines and I went into sappy romantic girl heaven with these boys.
Adam wakes up in a hospital room without his memory. He doesn’t know how he got there or the more important details of his life yet there is a man who has never left his side. A man, he does not know but in his presence Adam feels safe. Upon learning that this man is Joe, and the way he clearly cares for Adam, he is shocked when he is told they are not together and that he straight…
The story, told in Adam’s POV is so sweet and real I fell for it hard. Not so difficult to believe if you know any part of me and my soft core for stories like this. Adam’s lack of memory gives him a chance to see is relationship with his best friend with new eyes. I loved Adam’s journey, I loved him finding out about himself and his laptop discovery was nothing short of fun. Joe broke my heart, I can see the picture that Adam kept going back to, that look on Joe’s face. Oh boy. So much emotion with so little pages. I adored this, it hurt at times but I am so happy to learn that we get another book and that we get to hear from Joe. I am anxious and excited to see where there story goes and how these two rearrange their friendship into more.
Adam wakes up in a hospital room without his memory. He doesn’t know how he got there or the more important details of his life yet there is a man who has never left his side. A man, he does not know but in his presence Adam feels safe. Upon learning that this man is Joe, and the way he clearly cares for Adam, he is shocked when he is told they are not together and that he straight…
“I don’t remember you,” I rasp. And somehow that is worse than the pain, because this man has hardly left my side, and I’ve just forgotten him.
“Maybe up here,” Joe gently strokes my forehead, then slides his hand down to hover over my heart. “But what about in here?” It’s so simple but it’s true. Deep down where it matters most, I do know him. From the moment I opened my eyes, something in me recognized him.
The story, told in Adam’s POV is so sweet and real I fell for it hard. Not so difficult to believe if you know any part of me and my soft core for stories like this. Adam’s lack of memory gives him a chance to see is relationship with his best friend with new eyes. I loved Adam’s journey, I loved him finding out about himself and his laptop discovery was nothing short of fun. Joe broke my heart, I can see the picture that Adam kept going back to, that look on Joe’s face. Oh boy. So much emotion with so little pages. I adored this, it hurt at times but I am so happy to learn that we get another book and that we get to hear from Joe. I am anxious and excited to see where there story goes and how these two rearrange their friendship into more.

Amnesia happens to be one of my favorite themes. While it's a tricky subject, I still find it very entertaining. I loved this story because of that aspect. I loved how Adam had been in the closet and in love with his best friend, Joe, forever but once he loses his memory, he can't understand why he and Joe weren't a couple even though there's obviously feelings and attraction between them.
While the story is short, I really enjoyed it because it was easy to connect with Joe and Adam. It was interesting to see Adam's confusion over why Joe wasn't his boyfriend, as well as, Joe's obvious love for Adam. It was a sweet story and I only wish it were longer so we could actually get to know the characters more and see if/how their relationship changes now that things have changed. Great little story and the family was a hoot!

This was great!
Adam wakes up after an accident and he seems to have temporary memory loss.
Adam is convinced his best friend has to be his boyfriend, but when Joe says they aren’t, Adam feels even more confused. Because they do share everything, they even live together.
I loved these guys. Adam was so sweet and Joe so incredibly dedicated to Adam. I loved how it was clear for Adam, without all his memories, that he and Joe were close like lovers and not just as friends.
It’s a short story, but I am glad the sequel picks right up where this left off and is longer than this one.

This was a great Christmas read. Adam and Joe have been friends since they were kids and they have always been inseparable. When Adam has an accident and loses his memory, he begins to think that might not all they could be. I liked the way that Adam was able to explore his feelings without any baggage from the past creeping in. I would love to know more about Joe and Adam as they explore their new relationship.

I loved this one! It was short but superbly done. I walked away feeling like a knew these guys. I absolutely would have enjoyed spending more time with Adam, Joe, and the Massone famiglia but alas it was only a novella. Wishes and dreams and all that jazz...
Bottom line: I'm lovin' Chris Scully.
