Paper Rose

DP keep them coming. I have about half of your books and I have not read one that didn't keep me on my toes.

I really liked this book. It is one of my favorites by Mrs. Palmer. If you enjoy her stories then you will like this one. It follows typical Palmer format. Angry man, helpless woman, then they end up happily ever after. Although I thought that Cecily was a much stronger woman than Mrs. Palmer usually writes about. I thought that she stuck up for herself right up until the end of the book, meaning she didn't let Tate (the male lead) walk all over her. Tate refused his feelings for Cecily because he is Native American and she is White. There is lots of secrets and action on top of a wonderful romance in this book. I really enjoyed Cecily's friend Colby Lane in this book. At times though, I wished she would marry him instead of pinning away for Tate. There are twists that keep this book interesting.

If you are a Palmer fan, you will more than likely love this book, because her very sucessful formula of stubborn, worldly, prideful-to-a-fault alpha-male vs. sweet, innocent, patient-to-a-fault female is done to perfection in Paper Rose. If you have not read Palmer before, let the description above sink in and think about whether or not it's your cup of tea, so that you don't come back here later with a one-star review that this gifted writer certainly does not deserve (in my opinion). There is obviously a strong group of romance readers that like to see a he-man,woman-hater hero dragged kicking and screaming into true love, hence Palmer's devoted following. Paper Rose has loads of romantic and sexual tension, an agonizing struggle between love and duty, and a fascinating character study of a young woman maturing in self-respect and self-confidence. My bookshelf will never be without a copy of this beloved book.

I read all that I can of Diana Palmer and "Paper Rose" didn't disappoint me at all.Tate has such sex appeal and Cecily is just the woman that can interest him for a life time. Has me very interested in reading about the other people,Micah Steele and of course Colby Lane.I'll re-read this one over again.Looking forward to reading more of her's.

Ms. Palmer this book was wonderful! I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to just read a good keep you up till 3 o'clock in the morning book. Tate is the perfect man I don't care what anyone says I like my men to be tough and Tate was tough. Cecily was no pushover either but unlike some women in romance who prefer to let there feelings fester until then end of the book, she lets everyone know her feelings right off the bat. I have to admit Ms. Palmer but with the exception of Beloved you last few books haven't been winners but this one was. It is great to have you back in rare form.
