5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Neels' best--a cozy winter read!,
By
This review is from: Fifth Day Of Christmas (Reader's Choice : the Best of Betty Neels) (Paperback)
I have read almost all of Betty Neel's books and this is one of my favorites. The plot isn't deep, but the characterization is excellent, and the romance is satisfying. Yes, this is an "old-fashioned" book in that the main characters don't lust after each other nor have pre-marital sex. It is a gentle, thoughtful romance. My mom, dad, sister, and I have all read this book several times. One of the sayings that has become a joke in our family comes from the part where the old family retainer tells the couple that the "wind took the electricity," and later, we all wonder if the wind brought it back! It is the well-developed characters that make this book a classic. It is variation on the snowed-in house party theme, only in this case the characters were accidentally marooned together in a storm, and have to make do. Julia, the heroine, is an intelligent, independent nurse, and the hero is her forceful counterpart. I do wish the that the supposed "other woman" would be exposed for what she is sooner, but even with that frustration, it is still a very enjoyable book. I am glad that Harlequin re-printed it, since the old copies out there were wearing out. Now you can get a good used copy at a very reasonable price.

Betty Neels at her sentimental best!,
This review is from: The Fifth Day of Christmas (Best of Betty Neels) (Mass Market Paperback)
Oh, I loved this book. Julia is a beautiful nurse who is kind and sensible, but also not afraid to speak her mind. Our hero, Ivo, is a doctor who meets Julia in the midst of a snow storm and both he and she fall for each other while they are housebound. Once the snow stops, Ivo employs Julia to work in Holland where she soon discovers that his heart may be attached to another. But our hero is unceasingly drawn to Julia and by the end of the book, declares himself to her in a way that leaves no room for doubt. The ending is blissful! This is a highly recommended love story for any Betty Neel fan.
