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.

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.

Beautiful cover for Dragon's Heart!!!

I have received the BEAUTIFUL cover art for Dragon's Heart! A huge thank you goes out to the talented Alex DeShanks for this cover! I'm over the moon for it!

Here is the blurb:
Dragon's Heart By Marly Mathews
Fantasy Paranormal Romance
Coming, July 2008 from New Concepts Publishing
Grania Burns is a dragon-shifter—Dylan Lightfoot is the wizard she's taken an oath to protect…their alliance will kindle the flames of forbidden love—together they will defeat a great evil and save the mortals of Earth from destruction.

Grania Burns is of the mystical dragon shifter kind. One thousand years ago, Dragon Slayers that sought to eradicate her kind drove her people from Earth. Forced into seclusion, they created a magical realm that would be the only known safe haven for Dragon Shifters. Here, her kind lived in peace, ruled by The Dragon Shifter Royal Family until one day—a man known as Lord Draco incited a rebellion. He lusted for revenge against the humans that once sought to destroy his kind. A civil war on Dragonia ensues when his king and queen move to protect the humans.

One wizard, Dylan Lightfoot, holds the hope of the good dragon shifter's in his hands. He is a revered and powerful wizard, intent on protecting Earth at all costs. The King and Queen of Dragonia recruit him to put into motion a spell that nearly brought the magic kind their destruction at the hands of the dragon shifters a millennia ago. The dragon shifters destroyed the first spell, but they need Dylan to recreate it for their own use. The spell to turn dragon shifters completely dragon, must be completed. It is their only hope of winning the war, for once a dragon shifter is stripped of their humanity, they will die. Grania and Dylan discover they have a burning inferno pulsing between them—and once Dylan touches Grania's dragon heart, events are put into motion binding them together forever.

Cover for Enchanted Beauty!

Feast your eyes on the cover for ENCHANTED BEAUTY! WOO-HOO! I'm still on the new cover high. LOL The cover for Enchanted Beauty was created by the talented Alex DeShanks! I'm very pleased with it. :) Enchanted Beauty is a full length fantasy paranormal romance coming soon from New Concepts Publishing!

Here's the tag line and blurb:
ENCHANTED BEAUTY BY MARLY MATHEWS
Annabelle Hawthorne-Morton is a beauty with a mysterious past—Lord Malachi Hawthorne is the beast that will touch her heart—she will heal his tortured soul and he will bring the light back into her dark world.

Annabelle Hawthorne Morton hails from an ancient mystical line—even though she herself has not been endowed with the mark of magic that the magic-kind of Thaliana are born with. Despite this, she aspires for magical greatness, and while performing a spell the enchantment backfires in her face, robbing her of half her sight. But it doesn't take her long to realize that within a few months she will be completely blind. When her father enrages the local lord and he's imprisoned for his crimes, Annabelle must muster her courage and save her father from the beast's wrath.

Lord Malachi Hawthorne, Earl of Markham has been horribly disfigured during a magical battle. His sister betrayed him—and now her curse has put him into his own living hell. Believing that the outside world will revile him for his monstrous appearance, he retreats to his enchanted castle. He is determined to make Annabelle's father his indentured servant, until he meets Annabelle. He quickly decides that she is the one that might finally set him free from his living hell, and knows he must have her as his own.

Have a lovely day, everyone!

The Long Thin Veil Reviewed by Rogues and Romance Reviews!

Hey Everyone!

I have some fantastic news to share! Denise of Rogues and Romance has reviewed The Long Thin Veil!

Here's a little snippet of what she had to say, I encourage you to click on the link to The Rogues and Romance site to read the review in its entirety! Thank you!

Marly Matthews has written a snappy, funny, romantic read! Although the setting is All Hallow’s Eve, the reader will find that this is an “anytime read!” Since The Long Thin Veil is a novella, you’ll be more than happy to read this all in one sitting. Everything flowed absolutely wonderfully, and never once will the reader feel as if this short read is rushed in the least bit. Marly Matthews has done a fantastic job of creating a magical realm, and the ending will leave you with a smile on your face!

New Review for The Long Thin Veil-Five Hearts from TRS!

Woo-Hoo! I've just received news that The Long Thin Veil my miniature rose with The Wild Rose Press has been reviewed by The Romance Studio! It was given it's highest rating of FIVE HEARTS! I'm absolutely over the moon about this! Thank you, Linda L!

The Long Thin Veil

Marly Mathews
Paranormal romance
Available from The Wild Rose Press
October 2006
As a witch, Megan Rose MacLeod knew when she asked for a favor years ago, one day the debt would have to be paid. Now all Hallows Eve has arrived, as well as her debt. During this time, the thin veil between realms will slip out of place and Megan¢s Aunt Rose feels with the evil spirits, she and Megan will need safety. Megan worries about the magical document that bears her signature from years passed, but her aunt believes all is superfluous. Tiernan Fairlove, King of faeries, believes Megan to be his lifelong chosen mate. He recalls their first visit and now he wishes payment from Megan for what she owes him. Forgetting any advice from her aunt, when darkness falls, Megan sets out to meet with Tiernan. He insists his love for her is genuine and knows she loves him. She may not be able to confess her true feelings but he knows the truth. When the veil of the worlds begins to lift, can Tiernan protect Megan and her family when they believe him a monster, but Megan knows otherwise?
The Long Thin Veil is a lovely tale spinning with adventure and fascinating characters. Megan exhibits strong traits that stand out in this read, emitting much courage through her ordeal. Tiernan is mellow and sweet, and this reader could feel the love his heart carries for Megan. Marly Mathews creates a smooth flowing read that grabs the audience and just carries them into the storyline. I love the interaction of Megan and Tiernan. Delightful and most satisfying, this is one stunning tale that captivates the reader and leaves a feel good feeling. I love stories that are hard to let go.

Overall rating:
Sensuality rating: Sweet
