"What a wonderful way to weave a tale for a character that so many of us loved."
Possible Spoiler Alert: This book is part of a series, if
you have not read the entire series, please do so! You will
love it. This book review does not contain a spoiler for
this book, however, due to the fact it is part of a series,
will likely give away a key part to the first book,
Christina's Tapestry. I recommend you read Christina's
Tapestry and the rest of the Tapestry Bride's before
reading this marvelous book. Kathryn Piedmont worked for her father on Project Alpha in
the year 2133. The project was designed to create super
soldiers. Human males genetically engineered and enhanced
with computer programming who would then fight for The
Ruling Council. While trying to secure the rescue of two of
the men involved in the project and slotted for death,
Kathryn finds herself face to face with her wildest
fantasy. Her favorite escape is to hide away in her attic
and read an old book that features the sad and lonely
character, Marc of the House of Garen. This enigmatic,
handsome warrior captivates her like no other man has...too
bad he's not real. In the story of Christina's Tapestry,
Marc and his brother Jarek compete for the right to be the
one husband to Christina, while the other will live his
life sharing her with his brother only once a week. Jarek
has won the right to Christina's hand. Marc has always
seemed such a sad character that her heart goes out to the
warrior that she feels deserves love and happiness. If only
she could be the one to give it to him. But it's only a
story. Just a book. Right? It's said the Tapestry of legend will bring a bride to the
men of Javara only once during a slated period of years,
that has happened. But can the Tapestry take a man to his
bride? Marc will soon find he is caught up in the whirlwind
trip of the tapestry to find the woman of his dreams. Only
she is in danger and for a warrior that is unacceptable.
Nothing will endanger his woman. He's waited too long for a
woman of his own. He won't let Kathryn go, not even if his
life depends on it. Kathryn's life is in danger thanks to
her father and there's no way her life will be lost, Marc
won't allow it. What a wonderful way to weave a tale for a character that
so many of us loved. N.J. Walters has given us a fantastic
and unique way to revisit a character that I personally had
hoped would find happiness. I highly recommend you read
this if you are one of the many fans of N.J. that wished to
see Marc's story revisited. Heck, I recommend the whole
series! Twists, turns, excitement and totally hot alpha
male warriors...is there anything better?
