Summary: The world needs more skinny redheads with big hearts!
Review: COVER: Deborah knew that she wasn't glamorous......
Even if she had all the time and money in the world, nothing was going to alter the fact that she was skinny with hair the color of carrots. So it was hardly surprising that attractive consultant Sir James Marlow viewed her as a waif and stray to be rescued, rather than as a woman he could love. And yet he must feel something for her. Why else should he keep turning up on her doorstep?

Deborah Everett is one of Ms. Neels' most appealing Cinderellas. She is a wonderful warm and caring person with the patience of Jobe and the gentleness to match. She is truly one of God's gentle creatures put on earth to spread her boundless healing warmth to any unfortunate creature she comes in contact with. Because of this, this story is chock full of all the deliciously evil people in the world who constantly try to take advantage of gentle little ladies and the hero is the knight who swoops in just in the knick of time to snatch her to safety. You will become enthralled in the warmth and characters. There are the requisite selfish nasty stepfather, stepbrother and stepsister, as well as other petty selfish grown children who abuse their older loved ones who are temporarily infirm and who Deborah nurses and warms back into full life. It is a true pleasure to read this story from start to finish. It will reach into your chest and squeeze your heart.
Loyal Neels readers will savor every page in this book and new readers will wonder how they ever missed reading books by this incredible author!

Summary: The meek will get it all.
Review: Read the other review for the plot description from the back cover. This is a run-of-the-mill Neels story. This heroine is really a little too meek, but she is caring, kind and loving, all the reasons why we read Ms. Neels books. The hero is a gentleman who also cares about those around him. The best thing about the story is how he slowly comes to realize he loves Deborah, and tries to do the best for her. If you like Betty Neels, this is typical of her--OK and heartwarming.
