Financially, Sarah Dunn had done very well out of her marriage to Hugo van Elven. But it was only a marriage of convenience, and both of them were still only half recovered from previous unhappy love affairs. Weren't they both expecting just a little too much?

Betty Neels, An old fashioned Girl!,
This review is from: Fate Is Remarkable (Harlequin Romance, 1498) (Paperback)
Yes, she wrote a book by that title, but it fits her very well. Her books are reminisicent of the novels of the 1940's and early 50's, before they becaome so explicit. Her plots are re-used and predictable, but her characters come alive, and a reader becomes attached to them. She brings them back in later books, they are all acquainted with each other, and it's very pleasant to encounter them again. I know literary critics will laugh at me, but her characters remind me of those of Jane Austen, set in a more modern time.
I haven't said anything about Fate is Remarkable...I think it is my favorite of her books, an early one, before the plots became a little thin. Sarah and Hugo fall in love, unexpectedly, and all is well. If I have missed any of her books, I don't know which it is, have owned all of them at one time or another. May they live in print a long time.

One I Read Again & Again,
By
This review is from: Fate Is Remarkable (Harlequin Romance, 1498) (Paperback)
Betty Neels' plots usually involve an English nurse and a Dutch doctor's evolving romance. Their gentle predictability might make one think they will be dull, but somehow her character development teamed with loving descriptions of English and Dutch scenery creates devoted fans.
I've read hundreds of romances, but save only a few for rereading. I have almost all her books carefully stacked away for a rainy day read. The familiar plots are like comfort food and never fail to invoke a cozy feeling. Fate is Remarkable is my very favorite of all Betty Neels' books. It is the touching story of Sarah and Hugo struggling to make their marriage of convenience work. It really is a remarkable book to take a formula romance and turn out such a satisfying love story.
