Setting: Contemporary Washington D.C. and South Dakota
Sensuality Rating: 8

Archaeologist Cecily Petersen has loved Tate Winthrop since she was a teen, but the handsome Native American refuses to consider a mixed marriage. Instead, he becomes her white knight, protecting her from an abusive stepfather and arranging college grants and housing. But when Cecily discovers that the "grants" were actually outright gifts from Tate, she's furious. Her anger shifts their relationship from friends to lovers and forces them both to confront deeply held convictions and fears. When Cecily learns of a political scandal that could threaten Tate, she's determined to shield him, even though she knows it's likely that he'll never forgive her for the necessary deception. With political scandal in D.C., nefarious shenanigans on the reservation, and sizzling passion between the hero and heroine, Paper Rose delivers everything Palmer's readers have come to expect and more. --Lois Faye Dyer

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book To Read, January 10, 2006

This review is from: Paper Rose (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

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.

My first Palmer book, after re-reading it several times. I wanted to rush out and get more of her books to see if they matched up to this one. Tate refused to get involved with Cecily because loving her made him vulnerable to his enemies and he couldn't risk losing her. While convincing Cecily that he would never be with her because she was not Lakota. Love conquers all!! Great book.
