Product Description

New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon delivers a special collector's-edition tale of unexpected passion woven from the mysteries of a celebrated ancient tapestry.

Beautiful scholar Channon MacRea has spent years studying the legendary Dragon Tapestry, devoting days and nights to deciphering the impenetrable Old English symbolism. Then one evening the unnaturally handsome Sebastian appears. He claims to hold the key to solving the tapestry's mysteries. Bearing magnificently taut and tanned flesh marked by intriguing scars of battle, he also claims to be a dragon slayer trapped between two worlds.

For Channon there's only one way to finally uncover the secrets of the intricate embroidery-by following the seductive stranger into a fantastic alternate world of magic, danger, and erotic adventure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hero in this Reprinted Were-Hunter Short Story Is a Dragon that Can Travel through Time , November 3, 2005
By Dakota "daxydakota" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
Just so you know, DRAGONSWAN by Sherrilyn Kenyon was previously published in an anthology called TAPESTRY along with short stories from three other romance authors.

If you really want to read DRAGONSWAN, I'd recommend you buy TAPESTRY instead. Why spend three dollars on one story when you can spend eight dollars and get four short stories total? The other authors in TAPESTRY beside Kenyon include Madeline Hunter, Lynn Kurland, and Karen Marie Moning. All have decent stories, but Moning's Highlander time-travel story "Into the Dreaming" is the best hands down.

As for DRAGONSWAN ... well, to me, the short story was a total letdown. Don't get me wrong: I'm a fan of Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series and have loyally read all her books. And I did love the hero, Sebastian, from his frankness to his dark sexuality to his cool facial tattoo. I also loved the fact that he was a dragon who could travel through time. But everything else about the story was blah. The heroine was blah. The fight scenes were blah (and cartoonish). The love affair was blah, if not rushed. This story probably should have been a novel. Too bad Kenyon didn't release an expanded version of it rather than just re-releasing the same old story by itself.

Anyway, Kenyon's Dark-Hunter fans will probably want to read DRAGONSWAN just for its great explanation about the were-hunter's "claiming" ritual. Again, my advice is to buy TAPESTRY (with four stories total, at least one of which you'll rave about) instead of DRAGONSWAN (one mediocre story only). There's no reason not to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Previously Published But Still Good!!!, October 8, 2005
"Dragonswan" was previously published in an anthology and if you're like me space is at a premium when it comes to my "keeper" shelf. As a result this quick read is not all it's own and easy to hold on too.

Channon MacRea has spent a lifetime...well, at least the majority of her lifetime studying a dragon tapastery. Imagine her surprise when tall, dark, and very yummy askes her out after seeing her in a museum only to...well, I don't want to give it all away. Needless to say Tall, dark and yummy is Sebastian and he claims to know the answers to the questions that Channon has regarding her tapestry. One kiss later, and a bonding she finds herself transported back in time with Sabastian and learns all there is to know regarding the tapestry, Sabastian's past, and Channon's own heart. But, will she take a chance and love Sabastian for all time?

This was a very quick read totaling only 86 pages. As a result it's perfect if you want a fast, sensual, romantic read, but only have about hour to spare. Ms. Kenyon is a truly wonderful author and I find that her books are well worth picking up despite page count. This is a perfect introduction for readers that are new to Ms. Kenyon. Just imagine if you like this what she's capable of doing with 300 more pages!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars quick, interesting paranormal romance..., December 2, 2005
I'm one of the few romance readers who've never read Sherilyn Kenyon-this was my first. I thought it was great-interesting, if a bit hard to follow background of the hero, sweet, smart and average looking-hooray!-heroine. Good action, steamy sex, and romance in a tiny little book.

I'd give it five stars except for the fact that this is a REPRINT, only mentioned in tiny print inside book, and of course that book, Tapestry, is in my TBR stack. Publishers-PLEASE don't try to make a quick buck off of fans this way:(

Otherwise 4 stars!
