Josh and Mallory were high school sweethearts who had gone their separate ways when she decided to pursue her writing in New York. Five years later she's back and all the feelings are still there. They didn't fight for their love back then - will they be able to overcome the old hurt and betrayal to make a go of it this time? ( )

Reading Forget Me Not was a great experience. What I took away from the story is that being yourself is the most beautiful thing in the world. Pretending to be someone else can lead to embarrassment and heartache. It took Mallory a while to learn just how special she was. When she did however everything worked out for the better. Beautiful story with a relevant message. I received Forget Me Not by Erika Marks for an honest review. ( )

This was a great reunion story that really left me with a smile! The chemistry between Mallory and Josh is evident from the very beginning and how they handled the past hurts was heartwarming. I really enjoyed all the ribbing Josh took about Mallory's books. The way the town finally came around and accepted her and her work was great.

I definitely recommend this one! ( )

I received this from NetGalley to read and provide and honest review. I can honestly say that this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. The book is just a novella, but the story is so good that I was mesmerized by it from the very first page. Mallory and Josh had once been sweethearts, in a romance everyone thought would end in marriage. Then, Mallory got an offer to go to the city, to write—and offer she could not refuse. Josh, on the other hand, wanted to stay in Magnolia Bay and open a sporting goods/adventure training and trekking store. Five years later, Mallory returns to Magnolia Bay, hanging her head because her pseudo nom has been compromised, and now everyone knows she writes the latest erotic bestseller. Everywhere she goes, people make comments about the book series to Mallory, though she only wishes everyone would forget she had written the series. Thus, Mallory returned to Magnolia Bay, her head spinning from all the hubbub, ready to crawl into the nearest corner to avoid the gossip, the stares, and the endless questions about how the town’s “good girl” could write such stuff. Josh also felt the repercussions of the revelation. Everyone and anyone he met thought he was the erotic, sensualist male character in Mallory’s books and kept bringing this up to him. When these two meet in Magnolia Bay, it is as if nothing in their romance history had changed in the five years they had been apart. Sparks still fly. The chemistry between them is still as good as ever. However, they have both matured and changed, not a lot, but nevertheless changed. Read along as they try to re-capture the love they once had, to rekindle their romance, with everyone in this small town watching and waiting.

The author has definitely produced a fantastic story that, though short and simple, will nevertheless take your breath away and keep your interest. I enjoyed reading about Mallory and Josh and their actions, both past and present. Their characters were well-developed, as were all the other minor, supporting characters, in particular, Mallory’s aunt and Josh’s brother. Finally, the setting in this small town was perfect for the story. I have not read any other books in the series or by the author, but I will definitely be looking for them. As I read a lot, I always enjoy finding a new author, whose works I have not read. Erika Marks will now go on my authors-to-read list. I think anyone who enjoys a good romance and is looking for something short and sweet (think beach read, vacation/travel read) will love this book. I highly recommend it.
