Oh my what a wonderful story. I fell in love with the Dragon Knights and all if the secondary characters as well. This author does a phenomenal job at making you love the whole story!
In To Weave A Highland Tapestry, we have Patrick MacFhearguis and Gewn Hywel's story which is so wonderful. And in addition, we visit with his siblings and the Dragon Knights!

A delightful story!

If you love a good time-travel Scottish romance then this is the book for you. Gwen Hywel is hired by the MacFhearguis to create a tapestry. She sets out on a tour of the property to get ideas. It is then she learns of a curse and gives a tug on a thread which changes everything. She finds herself back in 13th century Scotland. There she meets Patrick MacFhearguis whom her heart craves. Now she has to choose love and break the curse or go back to her own time and break her heart.

The Fae are working overtime in this book. They are trying to bring together damaged souls regardless of the century they live in. Gwen and Patrick don't jump into each others arms when they meet. Both have suffered past hurts that have shaped their presents. Patrick and Gwen are the perfect balance to one another (even if they don't see it at first.) She is the light to his darkness.

While this is my first book in the Order of Dragon Knights you can certainly read it on its own. Other characters from the previous books that I was curious about so I added them to my list to go back and read. This was a well written book that drew me in from the first page.

I'm seriously not familiar with tapestry so when I read that Gwen is a talented weaver, I was curious.

When Patrick and Gwen surprisingly met in the forest, it was like the present connected to the past. The transition was terrific.

I like Patrick's gruffness, it was a perfect trait of a very uncivilized highlander. It fitted well with Gwen's softness.

I enjoyed reading the story and the ending is awesome.

Thank you Netgalley and Backlit PR!

Modern-day weaver Gwen Hywel travels to a recently restored castle in the Scottish Highlands in order to weave a tapestry for Adam and Meggie MacFhearguis, the couple residing in Leomhann Castle, the home of the ancient Clan MacFhearguis. Little did she know magic was abundant in the forest surrounding the castle and that time travel was real. By removing a gold thread from a sacred yew tree, she was embarking on the journey of a lifetime.
Highland warrior Patrick MacFhearguis refuses to take a wife. His family, land, and home are cursed, and the women who the men in his family wed are doomed to heartache. Then he meets a strange woman in the forest who desperately needs help. Their attraction is instant, but will he risk his hardened heart and Gwen’s future happiness for a life spent together?
OMG. I love Gwen and Patrick. Both of them are such strong, well-rounded characters. While she’s opening her heart for something better, Patrick is trapped between doing what his heart desires and what he thinks is the right thing.
The book skipped from present to past, and back again a few times, but each time jump was perfectly done. I was never confused as to what time period I was reading in.
I wish I had the opportunity to read the other books in the connecting series, in particularly The Order of the Dragon Knights, before I read this one. From what I can tell, all of Ms. Morgan’s paranormal/highland books are connected, but of course can be read as standalones. Anyway, I was sometimes confused since there were so many characters, but that was cleared up as I got to know them better.
The large cast of secondary characters includes Adam and Meggie along with their sons, the four MacKay brothers and their wives, Patrick’s brother/laird Alex (is he getting a story?), and various friends and children. For fans of the previous books, I’m sure they loved the scenes with Adam and Meggie raising their headstrong boys, and the MacKays enjoying married bliss. As a newbie to Ms. Morgan’s books, I’m definitely interested in learning more about those couples.
There were a few typos, but nothing that took me out of the story. I like Ms. Morgan’s writing style and use of Scottish words. This is the first book I’ve read from her and certainly won’t be the last.

This is the first Mary Morgan book I've read and it wont be the last! When it comes to Scottish historicals it's hard to sell me on the, due to being picky. Reading about Patrick and Gwen was magical.

I was a little lost being the first time reading her book. Not a stand alone book!

To Weave A Highland Tapestry by Mary Morgan is book 8 in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series. This is the story of Gwen Hywel and Patrick MacFhearguis. I haven't yet read the previous book so for me this was a standalone book. This book is a time travel story also which is a nice change for some of the stories I read. Gwen has won the chance to weave a tapestry for a castle that is being restored. This leads her to look around the property to get motivation for her tapestry. But the unexpected happens and she wakes up in the past and meets Patrick. Patrick is part of the MacFhearguis clan who have been cursed. Nothing has brought them enjoyment nor has anything been prosper for them. Can Gwen being that change that they?
Enjoyed their story.

Prepare to be enchanted as you are taken on a journey through time that will spark your imagination and grip your heart! Mary Morgan, master storyteller pulls us into another tale of enchantment with visits from previous characters and new ones that were meant to be together.
Patrick MacFhearguis, a strong Scottish warrior (*sigh*) is tired and weary from the past. Due to the "curse" of his clan, Patrick feels he cannot marry and subject a wife to it. Yes, his brother Adam had gone to the future and married and now had a son, but he was out of their realm.
Gwen Hywel, 800 years in the present has a tie to the Clan MacFhearguis because she is commissioned to weave a tapestry of the family for Adam and Meggie his wife. But when she sees a yew tree with threed woven through it, she pulls it loose and her journey begins back to 1209 Scotland. Only to be set upon by three men, but luckily (okay yes fate) has Patrick and his two guards rescuing her, but Patrick is wounded.
Thus the true journey begins!! Dragon Knights, time travel, angst, curses, fae magic and wonderful characters turn this into an extraordinary story as old as time! Loved it!

Gwen Hywel is a talented weaver and when she is hired by the MacFhearguis clan to create a tapestry, she’s thrilled. While on a ride around the property, she discovers more about a family curse and with a tug on a thread, everything turns black. She awakens in the past and must find her way back, somehow. But when she meets Patrick MacFhearguis, her heart is conflicted. Even though she yearns for her previous life, her heart craves to be close to him. Will she choose love and break the curse or will she turn her back on destiny?



To Weave a Highland Tapestry is a beautiful holiday romance set in 13th century Scotland. The Fae are hard at work bringing together scarred souls, no matter which century they reside in. Gwen and Patrick are lonely yet will never admit it. When they first meet, they spar verbally but like most people, they are scared to fall in love. Past hurts rear their ugly heads and the couple must communicate better to overcome the obstacles. The romance is slow-burning but so worth it. I loved watching them dance together and apart towards their happy ending.



The best thing about To Weave a Highland Tapestry, though, is the Dragon Knights and their families. I loved catching up with Adam and Meggie with their children in modern-day and all the Dragon Knights and their families in the 13th century. It was like a family reunion and I became part of the clans, at least for a little while.



I also loved the medieval Mid-Winter traditions and customs Mary Morgan weaved throughout the story. It transported me back in time and I imagined pulling my husband into an alcove for a kiss.



If you love time-travel romance with independent heroines and virile heroes, you’ll love this book. Fans of Outlander will love this one.



Favorite Character/Quote: Gwen. From the moment she appears her honest reactions to everything she goes through rings true. Her time-travel adventure is impossible yet she’s experiencing it. Her lightness contrasts Patrick’s darkness and together they bring out the best in each other. One of my favorite Mary Morgan heroines.



My Rating: 5 stars
