My favorite by this author

There are times when stock characters and familiar plots are extremely comforting.

When I'm sick of being competent, tired of being wholly responsible for fixing everything and keeping my world afloat, and I want a Cinderella story, I turn to Betty Neels. When I don't want to get depressed over what an awful wimp I am at the moment, I reach for Heaven is Gentle, Henrietta's Own Castle, Cassandra by Chance and Victory for Victoria, and watch these women bring their men to heel!

When I'm in the mood for a Betty Neels, and I want one which isn't the absolutely standard Neels plot line, I reach for this one. The location, secondary characters, sense of atmosphere and day to day activities of all the characters are very interesting.

However, of all Neels' arrogant, self-absorbed heroes who badly need their comeuppance, this one's my favorite, and I enjoyed watching Ms. Proudfoot join him in their shared growth experience.

Really, I DO love this story! The hero is a bit scratchier, less polished and more rugged; the heroine reminds me of another favorite, the heroine of Henrietta's Own Castle. She's smart, extremely competent, and an excellent nurse for both forlorn, elderly men and soggy, forlorn kittens ... with the hero's help, of course.
