First Review for Sweet Revenge!

Sweet Revenge has been given five angels by Carly over at Fallen Angel Reviews, here's a snippet of what she had to say,

This is one Regency romance that is less about
frippery and frills than about human nature and
revenge. I was pulled into this story right away. The
exchange between Carys and her horrid aunt is
priceless! The nasty old woman is just plain rotten
but Carys is quick-witted enough to give as good as
she gets. I laughed out loud at the dialogue! So witty
and fast paced, it made the words race by. The mystery
of this is intricate and could be a bit confusing if
the reader doesn’t follow closely. The love story is
sweet, and I like the fact that forgiveness and moving
on is part of this story.

Sweet Revenge by Marly Mathews is a very enjoyable
story, one that is both entertaining and amusing!

Sweet Revenge Released TODAY!

My latest release from The Wild Rose Press, SWEET REVENGE is now available! WOO HOO! You can purchase it by following this link!

SWEET REVENGE

It's published under the English Tea Rose Line as a miniature rose! It's my debut release in this line at The Wild Rose Press, so, I'm quite excited! It's a regency suspense, so if you're into that genre this story is for you!

Plus, it has a lovely cover, how can you resist? LOL

Here's the cover and the blurb,


Lady Carys Richardson is a woman set on a mission. She’s convinced her brother, Charles was murdered during his service in the Napoleonic wars. On her path to vengeance, she falls in love with the Duke of Penrose, Thomas Williams. Thomas was her brother’s commanding officer in the Navy. Her investigation leads her to point the accusatory finger in Thomas’s direction and her world begins to unravel. Lord Thomas Williams is a duke with wealth and power. He also is a man that knows too much without having enough evidence. When he finds out that Carys believes him to be the murderer, his heart is broken. But he hasn’t lost his faith in Carys nor can he stop loving her. When Carys finally realizes her horrendous mistake, will it be too late to right the wrongs of the past and bring the true killer to justice?

Thanks!

~Marly

One more day!

One more day until the release of Sweet Revenge! Woo-Hoo! I'm really looking forward to this release since it's my debut English Tea Rose, with The Wild Rose Press. I'm not a debut author in the category of historical, since I'll Be Yours, published with New Concepts Publishing is a historical.

So, please do me a huge favor and check out Sweet Revenge when it's released tomorrow. I will be forever grateful if you do. :)

Sweet Revenge, Release Date!
