NEWS

Valentine's Day is over already? How did that happen? I hope you all had a grrreat time. Whether with a partner or by yourself ;)

The big news of the month is that Bound to Love is no longer available. I wish Noemi and Rosie the best of luck with OMP, but I felt it best to move on. As soon as I find a new home for it, I'll let you know. In other news, I'm settling into my new apartment and new job. It's amazing how you have no idea how many books you own until you have to move the heavy, heavy suckers. I'm crossing my fingers that all I'll need is one more bookcase to put all of my books away. I already have four stuffed to the gills and then some, and I weeded!

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere like I am, stay warm and cuddled up with your honey, and I'll see you again next month! Okay, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, cuddle up with your honey anyway ;)

Engagingly yours,
Kelly



BOOKS

 

Bound to Love cover A servant of the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor for four millennia, Akhet-en's continued survival depends on his rescuing an ancient set of papyri from pre-eminent Egyptologist, Dr. Eloisa Brown.

Eloisa figures a one night stand with a hot hunk is just one more step on the road to recovery from a crushing divorce. She just doesn't expect him to be as old as the antiquities studies.

The Man from HATHOR is now available from Phaze.

4 1/2 Lips from TwoLips Reviews!

The Man from Hathor is an intriguing little mythological story with a modern-day twist. Kelly Maher cleverly presents the pantheon of deities as closer to human and less omnipotent and omniscient than we are usually led by mythology to expect of them. This premise would readily lend itself in future to further adventures, and I hope this will be the case. I really enjoyed The Man from Hathor and recommend reading it!
4 1/2 Nymphs from Literary Nymphs!
The Man From HATHOR is a delicious Egyptian fantasy that flows smoothly through the story. Ms. Maher has done a fabulous job bringing Aki and Eloisa together through a binding curse that turns to love. Her leap from modern day New York City to ancient Egypt adds depth to the plot and will keep readers fascinated as the romance unfolds.
4 Roses from Sensual Reads!
The Man From Hathor is a marvelous story filled with lots of white hot sex and magic that I rapidly read its pages, clenched my thighs in lust and laughed at Ms. Maher's charming witty displays. Warm and endearing characters that you could not help but love and relate to. Kelly Mahers packs so much punch in this short story that it needs to be read twice so you do not miss anything! I highly recommend reading this book and it is a definite keeper.
