| Christina Beaumont is heading home one night from a bar when she runs
across a small shop. The place is dark and somewhat dingy, but it is
the magnificent tapestry in the window that captures her attention.
Featuring two massive warriors, the tapestry's beautiful scenery and
delicate appearance is all too tempting for Christina. She must have
it, and despite her meager savings account, she splurges and buys the
tapestry.
Bringing it home with her is a dream come true, but it is nothing compared to the dreams she has when she sleeps with the tapestry over her. The dreams feature the two warriors and they leave her hot and stimulated, and all too aware of the loneliness of her life. Of course, when the tapestry mysteriously transports Christina to a different time and place, the dreams are soon forgotten. Suddenly, the two warriors aren't just dreams anymore; they are real live, flesh and blood men. Jarek and Marc of the House of Garen are ecstatic when the tapestry brings Christina into their world. Women are scarce and the tapestry's actions are seen as miraculous occurrences that don't happen often enough for the many men of Jarek and Marc's world. Now Jarek and Marc have three days to convince Christina to stay with them, that only they can make her happy, and that they will love her forever. Else, in three days time, the tapestry will reappear and give Christina the chance to return to her real life. Will she listen to her heart when it tells her that Jarek and Marc are men worth staying for? Christina's Tapestry is another fascinating story from the mind of N.J. Walters. Christina gets the opportunity to lead a totally different existence once the magic of the tapestry changes her life, and though she is nervous and a bit scared (who wouldn't be in her situation?) she also handles the changes with courage and an innate zest for life. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she has two totally honorable and gorgeous men by her side, wanting her to be happy with her new life. Despite its paranormal adventures, Christina's Tapestry is a very realistic novel in that it focuses on the challenges life has to offer. How one deals with those challenges is what builds one's character, and Christina is no exception. She has choices, but she has the bravery to take a chance. Jarek and Marc are the great heroes one has come to expect from Ms. Walters: sensual, loving, playful, and very caring. They are in a unique situation and will do whatever it takes to try to woo their woman, even if it means only one of them can marry her. Christina's Tapestry has a truly unique plot with three characters that are all that is wonderful with romance writing. You'll read this story in one sitting, guaranteed.
