Summary: THANK HEAVEN FOR KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOR !
Review: COVER: A damsel in distress ...
Jane Fox was alone and desperately in need of a friend. Not that she expected Nikolaas van der Vollenhove to apply for the position. After all, he'd said he was no knight in shining armor.
So when he rode to her rescue, she had to wonder if he was actually interested in her. Until he asked her to marry him - then she realized Nikolaas was definitely not a man in love.
Jane said yes, anyway. But only because she thought a determined woman could change him ....
This is another one of Betty Neels' strong, courageous young heroines with a heart as big as all outdoors. The hero is a wealthy doctor who needs Jane more than he knows. She fits seamlessly into his life, makes a life for her devoted lifelong servant, and gradually wins the heart of the hero and his dogs. :)
This is another fine example of Betty Neels' warmth and happily ever after artform.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Typical, but that's why we read them.
Review: The reviewer from Georgia has the plot description. The story starts with Jane's grandmother dying. Nikolaas is the doctor on the case. He helps her out, and we all know how the story goes; she drags her animals around looking for work, and trying to avoid Nikolaas. The only part I didn't like was the private hospital she goes to for awhile. I wanted Nikolaas to make more of a fuss to get the patients the care needed. Other than that, typical fairy tale ending.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cheesy but fun!
Review: This was the first Betty Neels book I ever read and I rather enjoyed it. The plot revolves around a kind-hearted and lovely young nurse (Jane Fox) and her "rescue" by Dr. Nikolaas van der Vollenhove, a Dutch surgeon. After Ms. Fox's grandmother, to whom she has been devoted, dies, Dr. Van der Vollenhove saves Ms. Fox from penury and substandard jobs by proposing marriage. The characters were likable and the writing style pleasant. Dr. Van der Vollenhove seemed a bit cold and paternal rather than adoring of Jane Fox, but otherwise, it was a pleasant enough story. Not your typical hero and heroine carried away on waves of sentiment and/or passion, but there is true affection by the end of it all.
