The Last Legion

Last night, I took some away time from writing my next fabulous book *giggle* and I watched The Last Legion starring Colin Firth, Ben Kingsley and Thomas Sangster. Surprisingly enough, it was really good! I didn't know what to make of it when reading up the write up since it really doesn't do the movie justice. But if you haven't checked it out yet, do so when you can! If you like action movies with a little bit of romance, this one will please you! And of course if you're a Colin Firth fan, this one really should be on your to be watched list. :)

I found the following trailer on You Tube.

Happy Thursday!

I'm dashing in quickly to say I'm still alive. LOL Seriously, I've just finished one book, and now I'm off to finish the second book! I'm having a blast and I've even had to shift into different sub-genre gears as the book that I just finished was a straight historical set during the late regency, and now I'm writing a futuristic set in a very distant future.
I'll leave you all with this video from You Tube. :)

New review for The Witch and the Wolf from The Long and Short of It!

I personally really enjoy historical fiction and this story pleased me. It takes place during the French Revolution and thereafter. The writing is such that I felt transported right into events and felt the fear and passion that was prevalent then. Transportation by horse and carriage, elegant clothes worn by elegant ladies, fawning gentlemen, the constant intrigues that were carried on behind the royal scene can all be enjoyed by the reader. The language and speech patterns here and there tends to resemble modern day language but on the whole language is authentic as well. I enjoyed the reminder of what had been taking place in the courts of England and France as they struggled with their hatred of each other.

The romance that Arabella De Maurier and Christopher Wyndham tried so hard to deny accelerates through the story building to a delicious crescendo at the end as true love prevails. Christopher refuses to give up on his love as Arabella twists and turns looking for a way to solve her problems. As hard as he tries Wyndham cannot stop loving her. It makes you wish for a man just like him for yourself.

I eagerly followed the ups and downs of the love the two main characters have for each other. Their relationship is stormy, but so touching in places it's sure to bring a smile to your face as it did mine. You'll want to pay close attention while you read so you don’t miss any of the juicy parts. It makes for a very fascinating time. There are many other threads of people’s lives and events woven throughout the main love story that also make it interesting to follow. All that passion and action and history woven together makes this a book you really should read!

 I have received a lovely review from a reader, who loved The Long Thin Veil. The review was posted at The Wild Rose Press.

Here it is, with permission to post from the reviewer, Catherine,
5 Stars
Admittedly, I do not read many stories of Faeries and veiled worlds where Leperchans and Nymphs come to life. This well crafted tale not only kept my interest but has me looking for more in a genre I've ignored. I look forward to more of Ms. Mathews stories.

Review for Doorway to the Stars from Kasey's View!

Here's what Kasey at Kasey's View had to say about Doorway to the Stars, I'll include the link to the full review at the bottom of this post.

I found Doorway To The Stars to be a fascinating and thought provoking story that will linger in your mind long after the story is finished. In fact I think that this story could probably use a sequel! The characters are extremely likable, the world building is very interesting, and the chemistry between the two main characters, Aries and Freya is scorching hot... 4 Stars!

Reviews for Twilight's Kiss and The Promise!!!

Hey All, 

I have two new reviews for two different stories! The first review is for Twilight's Kiss my full length paranormal fantasy published with The Wild Rose Press. The second review is for The Promise my short paranormal Christmas Romance published with The Wild Rose Press! Kathy from Kathy's Review Corner read and reviewed both stories! 

Below is a snippet of the review for Twilight's Kiss! Thank you so much, Kathy! 

Twilight's Kiss was a paranormal story with so many elements - vampires, a curse, fairies and even elves. There is a large cast of characters that were fully developed, and that I worried about as the battle loomed. I adored the interaction between Sean and his several times removed niece Grace. She definitely kept him on his toes, and he adored her. The slow build up of the romance between Bridget and Sean was believable, especially considering Bridget thought all vampires should be destroyed, and Sean was uncertain whether Bridget was the answer to the prophecy. There were times that it felt as if the story jumped, and the ending does leave a couple unresolved storylines. Overall, I adored Twilight's Kiss and eagerly await what I hope will be a sequel or two.

Kathy Andrico - KathysReviewCorner.com

Below is a snippet of the review for The Promise!

The Promise was a sweet romance of two people fighting the inexplicable forces that was drawing them together. Neither trusts the other, and both were resolved in finding out the truth of what was happening. As I'm learning to expect and enjoy from Ms Mathews, there was an extensive set of secondary characters that fully participated in the story. There were a couple decisions and assumptions made in the story that were abrupt, but overall, I can see definite promise for a successful future for this author.

Hey everyone,
PNR has reviewed my paranormal historical, The Witch and the Wolf!

Ms. Matthews has written a perfect blend of history, danger, mystery, and the magic of true love. Christopher and Arabella butt heads at every turn. Their lively banter will make you chuckle as you wonder who will win the battle of wits. They make a perfect match. Both are brave, loyal, and passionate. You'll want these two to find a way to conquer the one who threatens their future so they may find the happiness they both deserve.

Another great review for Doorway to the Stars!

And the fantastic reviews keep rolling in...
Kathy from Kathy's Review Corner has given Doorway to the Stars a glowing review! She even said she'd loved to revisit the world in Doorway to the Stars! Whoo-Hoo!
Here's a snippet of her fantastic review and the link to the full review! Thank you so much, Kathy! 

Doorway to the Stars was an enjoyable read with a fascinating setting that I want to visit again. I loved learning about the Gaian world, culture, and their idiosyncrasies. The romance between Aries and Freya was a pleasure to watch unfold. Freya might not be able to resist the bond between them, but she had no qualms in expressing her desire to protect the people of Earth. I enjoyed this universe that Ms Mathews has created, and would be very pleased if she were to return there again - I would follow.

SRR Reviews Doorway to the Stars!

I just found the review that Simply Romance Reviews gave to my futuristic novella, Doorway to the Stars! Thank you Melissa for the fantastic review! She gave it an A!

Here's a snippet of the review and the link to take you to the full review!

Freya Kirkland has the soul of a fighter, always trying to do the right thing. Aries D’Halen might have gone about procuring his wife in the wrong way, but it is easy to see that he has deep feelings for her early in the relationship. The gradual change in Freya makes you want to cheer for Aries as he slowly, persistently works to get her to trust him and eventually love him. Marley Matthews went the right way in working these two star-crossed lovers together. Details that are normally overlooked are fit into place like pieces of a puzzle. Though it might be a short story, there is nothing lacking from the characters to the colorful planet of Gaian. And the hunk of the story- six foot six—now that’s my kind of man!

Two Recent Review for Doorway to the Stars!

Hey All,

Just wanted to say that I've received two recent reviews for Doorway to the Stars! A big thank you goes out to Cindy at Coffee Time Romance and to Snapdragon at The Long and The Short of It!

Here's a snippet of each review with the accompanying link to it on the review site!
The main characters are likeable and believable. The rooting factor for Freya and Aries is there and their chemistry will have you reaching for a cold drink. Aries is a hero that a woman would give up everything for. The pages are filled with action and excitement. The enemies who betray Freya and Aries put the vile in villain, considering their connections. I enjoyed every moment of this roller coaster ride of a story.

Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

Doorway to the Stars review!

Mathews has created a super, and hard to predict plot, and her characters are strong. Dialogue is especially fast-paced, and reveal much about characters, from sarcasm to vulnerability. The best parts of this are the powerfully sensual... and the less best involve the war, and some of the complexity of the story relating to the war. Doorway to the Stars is very readable, interesting, and original.

Here's the blurb to whet your appetite!
Do or Die by Marly Mathews
Coming soon from The Wild Rose Press!
The world has changed. Ten years ago, Earth nearly crumbled beneath the might of an intergalactic War. Their Enemy fought them with their destructive psychokinetic powers. Only a band of extraordinary humans stood in their path. They were known as the Gemini Order. Led by Shylah McKay, they saved Earth from ruination.

Now, Shylah McKay and her kind are being persecuted for the very talents that saved Earth. But Shylah's a mover and a shaker, and with her lover Grayson by her side, she'll go to the ends of the Earth and beyond to fight for her people.

Have a magical weekend, everyone!
