Chicago entrepenuer Cecelia Grace Giatano is rich, beautiful, and successful. She steps into a boardroom and handles business affairs with faultless finesse, but when it comes to personal relationships, she's clueless. Running from the insecurities of her childhood----she will stop at nothing to achieve her dreams. When opportunities of a lifetime land in her lap, Cecelia feels she's sitting at the top of the world: until she attends her younger sister, Edwina's, wedding in Edinburgh. Suddenly her existence doesn't look as exciting...or fulfilling. When her perfect life begins to crumble, Spencer Hallman, her faithful business associate, is there to pick up the pieces. However, Cecelia's walls are too thick and too high. She can't see the love he offers. Will she make another bad decision and lose it all.

I enjoy Patricia's romance novels. I read every day and can say it is refreshing to read a romance novel that has the right touch of romance without the graphic sexual content. Her writing makes you feel what each character is going through. I hope she continues to write.

I am a huge sucker for Christian Romance and I usually go for the historical ones, but I certainly enjoyed this book very much. I cried and I laughed and I became very attached to the characters within.

I had read "Edwina" as a free e-book. Bought "Cecelia" and glad I did. I think I actually enjoyed "Cecelia" more than the first book. This book needs some help in the e-book transfer details but the story is quite enjoyable. I loved the setting going between Chicago and Scotland. I really liked the character of Spencer. Good job in slowly revealing his qualities. Cecelia was a character that I found myself disliking more and more and amazed that other characters showed her such love. Then I discovered the whole theme of the story was revolving around understanding God's love for those who have rejected or ignored His love. I would recommend as an enjoyable love story but needs some technical work. I actually bought a third book by this author because I think she shows promise.

I really loved this book!!
I loved how the author developed the main character of the book. She grew from a self-centered, selfish person to someone that God could use. Read more

Cecelia
I really like Strefling's stories, but, she really needs someone to proof read her writing. Many repeats of already established scenes and conversations.

OK for some I guess
At first I thought it would be interesting and it was for a while, but I got tired of it and put it down.

Not what I thought it would be
A good mindless read but most of the characters are overdone. There was way to much unnecessary drama and the story line jumped around quite a bit. Read more

It eventually picks up
I agree with many of the previous reviewers who commented on the technical aspects of the novel. I would like to add that the biggest problem is with dialogue. Read more

Read Edwina First
To understand this book you MUST read Edwina first; otherwise much of the storyline and character development is lost to you. LOVED the story. Read more

Definitely avoidable.
I downloaded this book free for my Kindle. It revolves around Cecelia, an obnoxious, self-centered, rude, two-timing and egotistical character and her "fragile" heart which cares... Read more
