I have loved the other books I have read by N.J. Walters and I was delighted to find that this book was just as good if not better than her others. The two main characters were really well written. The story was well thought out and the writing engaged my interest. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I am reviewing this book based on an ARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.
CHRISTINA'S TAPESTRY is a steamy, fun read. You are transported to medieval time but I'm pretty sure author N.J. Walters did a little rewrite in this romp into history. I liked all the characters and there were others involved in this world besides Jarek and Marc, a few others come along to try to tempt Christina too. When it came time to choose I knew Christina would choose well. This is a erotic, fun read that will give you a few moments to forget the world around you and enjoy.

This is a short PNR involving Christina, Jarek and Marc Garen. Christina is on her way home in the rain, when she sees a tapestry in a shop window which she is compelled to buy. The tapestry depicts a medieval castle and two warriors. Surprise, the next morning Christina awakens in a medieval field with the two warriors! Once a generation the tapestry brings a female to this land to be a possible bride to multiple brothers. The story revolves around Christina's decision on which brother, and whether or not to stay. There is very little world building or character development in this tale. There are no real conversations between any of the characters. While not good literature it is mildly entertaining. I received an ARC from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Christina doesn't have much of a life outside of work and a very egotistical friend. Having a bit of cushion, Christina believes that is the cause of her dating woes. She thinks its easier being alone than to put herself out there and face rejection.
After being ditched by her friend for the umpteenth time, she decides to walk home in the rain. Passing by a quaint shop, she's drawn to a tapestry displayed in the window. She has to see it! She makes a hasty decision and purchases it!
The tapestry is of two warriors with a castle. She starts having dreams that depict those two warriors. One night her dreams become real when she appears back in time with those two warriors, Jarek and Marc. This is a lot to understand! The brothers then compete for their chosen bride! She is attracted to both of them. How will she choose??
The sexiness of this book is off the charts hot!! I enjoyed the plot and the characters were likable. I could feel her struggle with having to choose and possible even leave this place. It was a intriguing time travel read I recommend!
Keep the ice water close by when you read this one!
Christina doesn't have much of a life. She's pretty much alone except for a very self-centered friend. After being ditched by said friend in a bar, she walks home in the rain and passes by a little shop. She sees a beautiful tapestry she is compelled to purchase. She eventually is pulled into another world, one that appears similar to Medieval England. Similar, except the way brothers compete for their bride.....
What follows is not for the prudish. This book isn't going to win a Pulitzer Prize. But if you want a fun, fast-paced, sex filled romp with enough story to keep it interesting, you will be quite "satisfied" with this one! Very entertaining .
I received a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
I really enjoyed this story. Christina’s Tapestry is a great quick read with a steamy storyline and sexy characters I am looking forward to the next book.
This is a very quick and very sexy read. The sex scene’s were hot, but unfortunately there is not much story. There is very little world building. It’s a medieval world, there are few woman, and men fight for them. But that’s all we know. There isn’t any development of the culture. And although they seem to revere women since they are so few, I didn’t like the way that women seemed to be regarded as property, sex toys, and brood mares. I also wish we got to know something about Jarek and Marc. All the three characters did was have sex. There was not one actual conversation between Christina and either of the brothers. How can you choose a husband when you don’t know anything about either man? I can see why the window of time to choose was so short, a lonely woman blinded by orgasms isn’t thinking clearly enough to ask basic questions. I would read the next book in the series. However I hope the author does take some time for world building and character development, while maintaining steamy sex.
Christina’s Tapestry by N. J. Walters is the First Book in the Tapestries series. This is the story of Christina Beaumont Jarek, and Marc.
Christina is taken back in time where she meets Jarek and Marc...two hot brothers. Christina is attracted to both but it appears she will have to choose one to marry.
I must say this was a very hot read that was impossible to put down. I didn't read this book (to my shame!) to first time it came out so when I saw it with the new cover I had to read it. The cover is just hot too!
Really enjoyed their story!
This is a quick read that will suck you in right from the beginning.
Christina finds a tapestry, no wait, the tapestry finds Christina. She is enamored by the two men on it, so much so that she has an erotic dream about it. A dream that almost seemed real. When she wakes up in a different time and place, she is not prepared to find the two men from the tapestry gazing at her, longingly. Nor is she prepared for what will happen. She has 3 days to decide if she will stay with Jarek and Marc in their time or return home to her time. Here she is treated with respect and love. At home, she is a nobody. What will Christina decide? Stay with her lovers or go home? Only time will tell.
This is a quick book. A lunchtime read that will have your afternoon running on high. I will be reading the next book in this series.
Oooh, la, la, just wait until you hear what I have to tell you... I just had a sensational sensually stimulating visit to the past where I met the strong and captivating Jarek, Marc and Christina. These delighted me with their magical romance full of temptation and some really hot and sexy love scenes including menage scenes. The relationship itself was a bit slow in catching up to the sizzling chemistry that burned between these characters but hey who can blame Christina for being a bit slow on the uptake when she just got yanked from her time and place and dropped right in the laps of two super sexy warriors, who by their very natures would turn any red-blooded woman's brain to mush. I could certainly connect with her and the two warriors as they explained the prophecy concerning the tapestry and why there romance had to move at such a fast pace.
Which kept things hot and steamy throughout and had me glued to the magical pages and N.J. Walters brought the story to such vivid life that I could practically smell the fresh air and I pictures each and every scene as they happened and let me tell you, that I was quite flushed by the time Christina made her decision about whether to stay or to go home. I will definitely be awaiting the release of the next Tapestry series romance, meanwhile I think I will be on the lookout for my very own 'tapestry'.
Christina's Tapestry by N.J. Walters is certainly steamy! Wow, you may need to have a cool drink close by to lower your temperature!
Christina is single, a bit plump, and believes her size holds her back from finding the right man for her. Dating is chore, so it is easier to be alone and listen to her friend complain of her awful relationship than to put herself out there. Walking home in the rain one night, she sees a tapestry in the window of a second hand shop and is instantly compelled to buy it. The tapestry is expensive, beautiful, and irrationally Christina decides to max out her credit card and buy it.
The tapestry depicts two strong, handsome warriors and a castle in a medieval-like setting. Lucky Christina when these two warriors start to show up in her X-rated dreams.
When Christina wakes up in the warriors' presence she is shocked but instantly attracted to them both. How will she choose between Jarek and Marc? The chemistry and absolute sexiness jumps off the pages. Seriously, this is one super hot, hot, hot read. It's not all heat, plot is good and the characters are likable and realistic. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy hot stories!
Thanks for a copy to read and give my honest opinion.
The cover and blurb caught my eye.
This is a remake with a new cover I'm guessing because this was released before. Christina passes a storefront on a rainy night and see's a tapestry hanging in the window that she has to have. She forks out two thousand dollars even though she is living penny to penny without so much as a blink. Taking the tapestry home she begins to have erotic encounters in her dreams.
Jared and Marc are two brothers waiting for the tapestry to bring them a bride. The two will compete to have Christina, and both will share her life.
This is a novelette sized read and jumps around without the full fleshing a good book needs. It's a short sexy read with lots of ménage material as they compete for her. Three stars of entertainment!
This book is unashamedly erotica, but that is not a bad thing. Unlike many erotic books “Christina’s Tapestry” has a real story wrapped around the sex; the sex scenes do not feel gratuitous, even though they are the real point of the book.
Without giving too much away, this is a book where the reader must employ the willing suspension of disbelief. Christina buys a tapestry which she cannot really afford but must have, and it eventually transports her to a different place, where she meets two brothers, Jarek and Marc. In this new land, she must choose either to stay, and to marry one of the warrior brothers, or return to her own time and place, never to see them again. The climax (no pun intended) of the book is Christina’s choice of what to do.
This is not great literature, but it does not pretend to be, nor does it have to be. This is fluff, but it is fun fluff, and a pleasant way to pass a few leisure hours. You could go further and do worse than “Christina’s Tapestry,” and I have.
Loved this book. A magical tapestry transports Christina back in time to medieval Scotland where she has three days to determine if she will stay in this ancient time. If she stays, she will chose which of the two brothers, Marc and Jarek, will be her husband. Once married, the brother she does not chose will have one night a week in her bed. The book is well written and the sexual encounters between the three if them are highly erotic. I would highly recommend this book as a great read. I received a copy of this book thru Netgalley.
