Review: I know I promised to stop reading these books but I have a whole pile of them and this one was on top.

It's not too bad. Josephine Dowling is the eldest of the local doctor's three children. She is working as a ward sister at a London hospital. One day She is walking her dog on a visit to her home when she (and the dog) are nearly run down by a Bentley. (Neels has a thing about cars, she makes as much of the cars as she does the houses, the clothes and the food.) Inside the car is Julius van Tacx, a large Dutch doctor.

Inevitably they clash and inevitably they find themselves working together.

However the misunderstanding is kept to a minimum and only occurs toward the end, mainly this is the story of two people falling in love with no big dramatics or fireworks. The most outstanding thing about the heroine is that she is a size fourteen. However, she doesn't obscess on her size.

Looking for a pleasant and undemanding romance? It's here.

Summary: Warm Romance
Review: In this charming romance by Betty Neels, Josephine Dowling is working as a ward sister at a London hospital and engaged to be married when she meets Julius van Tacx. But she's not really sure she loves Malcolm, her fiancé, and is having doubts about marrying him, and especially living so close to his family, so she breaks off her engagement. As if having to deal with a broken engagement wasn't enough, she has to deal with Julius who always seems to turn up at the worst possible time. When he asks her to marry him,she finds herself agreeing although she's not in love with him. But her feelings soon change to love. How can she stay married to a man who doesn't return her feelings?

I love reading Betty Neels when I need to escape from the real world. There's nothing surprising in her books, you know that the couple will meet, clash, have a misunderstanding or two, maybe be involved in a crisis where the heroine will shine (in this book it's a car accident) and eventually will live happily ever after. And, some days, that's just the kind of book I need to read!
