Book Review: Forget Me Not by Erika Marks

From the short stories of Guy du Maupassant to the epic fantasy books by Brandon Sanderson and of course the now ubiquitous, controversial and illicit pleasure of “Fifty Shades of Grey”, it is easy to hide what one is reading especially if you have an iPad.

But, what if you are an author and your claim to fame is a series of erotica books? What if though you are proud of your accomplishment, you are also ashamed to tell your friends and family you make a living writing erotica? And to top it all, you have to go back home!

In “Forget Me Not”, that’s the situation New York-based writer Mallory Reynolds found herself in. She had to go back to her hometown of Magnolia Bay, in the very conservative state of South Carolina. It’s a town small enough that up to today, everybody knows everybody and busybodies are a reality.

Add Josh, an ex-boyfriend that Mallory has not gotten over and he happens to be as hot as ever. It’s a recipe for disaster especially when the press thinks that Josh is inspiration for the male lead character!

A fun and easy read with lots of laugh out loud funny moments. Mallory and Josh are so lovable! Author Erika Marks made them come alive!

Forget Me Not (Loveless and Dunn Series Book 3) is Rated T for Teens due to some adult situations.

DescriptionWhen aspiring-writer Mallory Reynolds packed up for New York City, she ditched more than her quiet hometown of Magnolia Bay—she left her high-school sweetheart, Josh Loveless, behind. But when the big city didn’t deliver big contracts on her novels, she turned to writing erotica under the pen name Farrah Ivory to spare her family any embarrassment. Soon, her scandalously-sexy series, The Lost Diaries of Scarlet, is a break-out hit. Just as Mallory begins to enjoy her sweet success, her publisher leaks her true identity and a media firestorm ensues. Exposed, she decides there’s nowhere to hide—except for home.

For Josh Loveless, getting over Mallory Reynolds hasn’t been easy, but he’s done his best to move on. For starters, he’s turned his love of the outdoors and rock-climbing into his own business. And just as things are starting to settle for him, he learns Mallory’s coming home to ride out her scandal, and suddenly his world is turned upside down again…

Can Mallory convince her friends and family that she’s still the same good-hearted girl they knew? And more importantly, can Josh trust the woman she’s become, and give her a second chance to rewrite their love story with a happy ending?
