Once the first page is opened you are instantly transported to a desert planet not fit for human kind, it is so well written your mouth will parch. I felt as if I was part of the story, like a ghost unseen in each scene. Literally, in my mind’s eye I could see the action, the jarring of the battles vibrated my seat, the seductive caresses of the love shared between the characters made me yearn to curl up next to someone special. Ms. Matthews has definitely did it again she brings her audience into her world and if most are like me they will want to stay there a while.<br />Justice, Bitten By Books!</span></span><br />Read the full review by following this link! <a href="http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=5723">Dark Phoenix review!</a><br /><br />~Marly<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13036850-6867793853953404978?l=marlymathews.blogspot.com'/></div>Marly Mathewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650257543812665255noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036850.post-53128093458088011802009-03-18T07:21:00.002-04:002009-03-18T12:46:15.270-04:00I have made a book video for Dark Phoenix!

It was given a rating of 4.5 books. Here's a snippet of the review,<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Attempting to lead a normal life in a not-so-very normal world, Shylah relies on her ghostly boyfriend, Grayson to keep her grounded and focused. However, for an extremely talented telepathic war hero, that’s not as easy as it would sound. The reappearance of her ex-lover only complicates things in an epic way.<br /><br />From the very beginning, Do or Die is packed with fantastic action. There is a surprise around every corner and a few that will take you completely by surprise. Interspersed with several sweetly sensual love scenes, the story develops at a rapid pace, dragging you further in with every page.<br /><br />Much more than just a love story Do or Die is a story of true friendship and coming together against all odds. Set on an Earth vastly different but eerily familiar to the one we know and love, the interplanetary tensions and prejudices are more similar to our lives today than we’d ever care to admit. A great romance coupled with a life lesson so many still need to learn.<br /></span></span><br /><div>Reviewed by Cholla</div><div><br /></div><div>It's also up for best book of the week at LASR, so if you get there by Sunday at Midnight, you can vote for it! </div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.longandshortreviews.com/LASR/recentrev.htm">http://www.longandshortreviews.com/LASR/recentrev.htm</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13036850-1761344552986210042?l=marlymathews.blogspot.com'/></div>Marly Mathewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650257543812665255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036850.post-53800774507311147232008-12-31T09:47:00.000-05:002008-12-31T09:48:04.437-05:00<a href="http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h295/MarlyMathews/Christmas%20Pics/?action=view&amp;current=382911prrgh4sjxk.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h295/MarlyMathews/Christmas%20Pics/382911prrgh4sjxk.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To all of my friends,<br />May 2009 be a year filled with blessings and joy.<br /><br />~Marly </span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13036850-5380077450731114723?l=marlymathews.blogspot.com'/></div>Marly Mathewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650257543812665255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036850.post-5077702624864676042008-12-30T05:53:00.003-05:002008-12-30T05:56:33.568-05:00Hey Everyone! <div>I have great news to share!

Thank you, Jo!<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Dragon’s Heart collides the worlds of Earth and Dragonia in a war that can destroy the worlds and everyone within them. Rebels have all but succeeded in conquering Dragonia and now Grania has come to Earth and Dylan to hopefully stop them cold with the spell he has developed. Dylan agreed to having a protector but Grania was a surprise to him, one he rapidly came to want and love. Grania and Dylan have to try and control the Mating Fire while battling the rebels. I found the exchanges and relationship of Dylan and Graina to be funny, heartfelt and sexy while they set the world on fire themselves. I would have liked to learn more about Dragonia, however, I totally saw that the majority of the focus was on Earth. I would seriously like to see Nicholas’ story because he was a major secondary character. Dragon’s Heart has a bit of everything, adventure, danger, dragons, wizards, and a few other secrets that I can’t tell you about. I found it to be a great way to escape my reality for a while.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13036850-4449788713929332081?l=marlymathews.blogspot.com'/></div>Marly Mathewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650257543812665255noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036850.post-26031279669933322272008-12-07T03:18:00.001-05:002008-12-07T03:20:13.198-05:00Check out these book videos! <br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MHWfbdqPEI8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MHWfbdqPEI8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KtRQVXbxUEg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KtRQVXbxUEg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13036850-2603127966993332227?l=marlymathews.blogspot.com'/></div>Marly Mathewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11650257543812665255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13036850.post-53229326038297518022008-11-20T04:49:00.004-05:002008-11-20T04:52:28.340-05:00I've been busy the last few days putting together a book video for my Christmas Romance, The Promise.
