Tapestry (story collection)


To Kiss in the Shadows (Lynn Kurland)

Jason of Artane has his heart set on a noble quest - but his plans change when he meets a mysterious young woman who hides behind her tapestry frame yet manages to capture his heart.

An Interrupted Tapestry (Madeline Hunter)

A noblewoman beset by her brother's creditors offers a cherished tapestry to a man with more on his mind than settling her debts.

Dragonswan (Sherrilyn Kenyon)

A lovely scholar's dream of deciphering a mysterious tapestry comes true when she meets an enigmatic stranger.

Into the Dreaming (Karen Marie Moning)

A young woman mysteriously receives an ancient tapestry then is transported to medieval Scotland to break an evil spell cast by a wicked wizard.

Some of these stories had a good base but the authors failed to deliver in a way that kept my attention. I enjoyed To Kiss in the Shadows but was disappointed in the other stories. The authors had great ideas for their stories but I wont waist my time reading this one again.

The Immortal Highlander (Karen Marie Moning)


With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam’s only hope for survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.Enter law student Gabrielle O’Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing. Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by force. Instead, he will tease his way into Gabby’s bed and make her want him just as he wants her. Now, no matter how hard Gabby tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her—perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his knowing smile…all the while tempting her with the promise of unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam’s quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen’s court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery realms…and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know: glorious, wondrous, endless love.


This one actually had an intriguing story.


I know you're gonna be shocked after reading the summar of the story...but this one has some sex in it.
