It wasn't her best work. I'd rate it between 2.5-3 stars
This is a re-issue, originally published in paperback in 1990. Another very pleasant tale from Betty Neels where a nice girl, Beatrice, meets a handsome doctor. It takes her the whole book to realize that she is in love with Dr.Oliver Latimer. I sometimes find it frustrating that the hero always waits so long to show his intentions, while leaving the heroine feeling all at sea. I do find that it is refreshing to occasionally read one of Betty Neels' books in contrast to the more sensual books out there today.
