Summary: Storyline info
Review: Ivo van Doelen knows what he wants - he simply has to allow Serena Lightfoot time to come to the same conclusion! Then all he has to do is persuade Serena to accept his convenient proposal of marriage...without her realizing he's already in love with her!

An unmissable new romance from the international bestselling author.

Summary: Another winner from Betty Neels
Review: Readers of Betty Neels will recognize some familiar elements in this story: a Dutch surgeon (Ivo van Doelen); an impoverished English miss (Serena Lightfoot, who is estranged from her uncaring family); a beautiful Dutch home, complete with the best servants; commutes between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Serena needs a job and Ivo provides her with one, but not one she had in mind! The romance between the two is enjoyable and easy to follow, not a lot of details to keep in mind. I enjoyed how Betty wove in characters from previous books. She also provides more insight into the mind of the male hero than usual. Of course, there are the usual misunderstandings to work out and people who aren't what they seem. But it wraps up into a nice ending with a different twist.

Summary: To Love forever
Review: Serena Lighfoot is engaged to Gregory but he only wants Serena's home, and the income he thinks her unnatural father will leave her.
Serena's brothers are no better than her father, how Serena could have been raised by the same father I don't know.
Henry is a cold fish, and Matthew is a wimp.
Matthew tells their father Serena wants a break, so the man disinherits Serena and dies soon after.
He is mean, and cold & he treats Serena like a indentured slave.
Ivo Van Doelen knows what he wants he wants Serena, but he thinks he is too old for her.
Serena is in love with Ivo, but she thinks Ivo doesn't want her love. So the yo yo starts.
Serena needs a job. Ivo gets her a job. Taking care a of a little girl named Heather.
It isn't a good job, the girl that Serena is to take care of is as mistreated as she Serena is by her mother and father.
Heather has a brother that her mother and father love and they could care less about Heather.
Serena soon gets to know this about Heather, and she gets a kitten for her, so Heather loves and respects the animal.
This is like all the other Betty Neels books, but you do learn more of what Ivo is thinking. Betty Neels has made the sweet romantic books no one else would, because the publisher wants sex in book other writers gave in and wrote about sex. Betty Neels never did, and we loved her for that!!!
Ms. Neels will surly be missed.
