When 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?
My Review 3.5 STARS

This is a new to me author and the writing was good. The story is told from both Mallory and Josh's points of view and we see how they both got hurt when Mallory left five years ago and Josh did not fight for her. We also see how they very much still love each other as Mallory comes home for a short visit, only to bump into each other again and stir up old feelings.
With Mallory only going home to hide as her true name has come out as a writer from her pen name, as a erotic author, Mallory finds it hard especially with small town gossips. But she has more advocates than she expects.
Being a novella everything happens fairly quickly, but this would have been better i feel as a full length novel.
Still a decent read.
