Winner of the SARA (Sooner Area Romance Authors) Rising Star Competition for Publsihed Authors and the recommended read for the month of October 1999 with Inscriptions Magazine.
"PAPER ROSES offers an accurate account of what life may have been like for members of the Highland clans. The story takes readers through the passions and turmoil of 16th century Scotland. I truly enjoyed this book. As the pace of the book heightened, I became fully engrossed and unable to stop reading until I had finished the entire story. My emotions churned and I found myself increasingly excited. Many books don't spark such an emotional response in me. PAPER ROSES is worthy of our highest rating; 4 fabulous stars!" ~~ Lise Hull, Reviewer, Inscriptions Magazine.
"Reminiscent of the Hepburn/Tracy movies, with plenty of witty verbal sparring and a tender, heartwarming romance (plus, throw in a little whodunit? mystery), Celia Collier has provided us with an extremely entertaining read. Kick everyone out of the house for a few hours and treat yourself to this great book." ~~ Debbie Pollart for Writers Club Romance Group
"PAPER ROSES is an enchanting historical romance set in the Scottish highlands of 1524 with all the elements of a great story: love, sorrow, treachery and betrayal, and redemption. You'll laugh and you'll cry over Ciara's and Alastair's rocky road to romance, but one thing is certain-- you will not be able to put PAPER ROSES down." ~~ Elizabeth Delisi, author of FATAL FORTUNE.
"Celia Collier has written a wonderfully charming love story set in the Scottish Highlands in 1524. Historically correct, I fell in love with Ciara and Alastair as they both struggled to learn a thing or two about love. PAPER ROSES will remain a keeper in your heart for years to come. Even the dedication touched me as I read it." Chris Bellar ~~ Romance Reviews by Chris
"You'll find no thistles or thorns in Ciara's roses as she claims the victory of love from her clan's sworn enemy, The Panther of the Highlands. Read PAPER ROSES by Celia Collier and return to a time of intrigue and suspense." ~~ Kim's Reviews ~~ Kim Gaona
