“Bought it only for Karen Marie Moning's story but ended up loving all the stories!”

“Woven into four worlds of chivalry and honor, of danger and desire, are threads as fine as the touch of their creator, or as rough as the earthy desires ringing in the cash register.. Containing a healthy balance of these two types, Tapestry was a good read, an in-between-er that allowed me to rest my mind from my current main read, which is Prospero's Children by Jan Siegel.

Of the four stories, my favorite is To Kiss in the Shadow by Lynn Kurland, where a young man discovers his noble quest is to love and protect a shy young woman hiding her ruined beauty behind a tapestry frame. An Interrupted Tapestry by Madeline Hunter is a sweet tale about a wealthy trader who won the best deal of his life by finally declaring his love to an impoverished noblewoman he has loved for years, saving her from dishonor in the process. Shamelessly indulgent and escapist, Dragonswan by Sherrilyn Kenyon followed up the lust-on-first sight with an info overload of the story's mythology so the fight and bed scenes could get it on with little competition—I didn't care for this one.
Karen Marie Moning's Into the Dreaming involves another Highlander, made mad from being imprisoned by the Unseelie King in an ice world for centuries; to ruin the plans of her enemy, the Seelie Queen transports a 20th-century aspiring romance novelist to 15th-century Scotland to bring some life back into the man of her dreams.This last was very funny, though I must honestly say the aspiring writer-heroine sucks at writing. Fortunately, her medieval audience are less critical of her bawdy style of writing.”

“I got this one because Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dragon Swan was in it. This is a Shapeshifter.”

“So, I read the anthology in this book called "Dragonswan". I am trying to read the Dark Hunter series in chronological order , and this one is listed third on the list. I read "The Beginning", which is a short story only readable online before this one. "The Beginning is a story about Acheron and some background on him, so not sure why this is listed as second to read, but hey, I did.

It seems "Dragonswan" is an introduction to Sebastian, a dragon slayer and his "mate", Channon (his dragonswan). More steamy stuff happening here, but in this story , we are introduced to the world of Dragons, and Dragon slayers, as well as the evil Katagaria all taking place in Saxon England. Well, most of it , I guess. There is some time travel allowed at the dawn of a full moon, and things of that sort, of course. How else to get a modern bride...errr "mate".
We get some history about Sebastian's life here, as well as how he and Channon, come to be, but I am guessing, there will be a bigger story ahead in the Dark Hunter books ,as this seems quite like an introduction.”
