The Matchmaker's MarkDelightfully written and empathetic; reading this was like peeking over the shoulders of the characters and being part of each scene and locale. Heartwarming, encouraging, and inspiring, this is just the kind of story readers need to pick themselves up from a slump by getting involved in the characters' lives and backstory, and marveling at that most welcome touch of the paranormal. I don't often gravitate to light-hearted romantic fiction, but if this is an example of what I'm missing, I may just have to change my options. <smile>"The Matchmaker's Mark" has themes that are so totally about magic; but there's no need for the reader to put aside disbelief. No, the sense of wonder is present from the very first sentence, and continues throughout the book. Magic just "is," and so there is no surprise to find elves, half-elves, humans, mixed up together; nor to discover a reality, so very much like our own, in which Otherworld soulmates are matched up by "The Matchmaker."I wish I had read this book for Valentine's Day-next year I'll remember to do so. But don't worry-"The Matchmaker's Mark" is perfect reading for any time of year. If you're looking for paranormal romance, or if you're just interested because of the fantastic prose, well, get on over here and get this book-it's a keeper.
