Never the Time and the Place Book

This was a cute and enjoyable read.

It's slightly different in that the heroine is tall, gorgeous and curvy instead of the typical "mousy" one that Betty uses a lot in her stories. The heroine happens to be engaged to another man and only two months away from the wedding when she meets the good RDD. (Rich Dutch Doctor) They meet quite accidentally when he is visiting friends who happen to live in the same village where she is from. They end up working together when he back-ups another surgeon that has to take an extended leave.

These two had quite the sparks between them and it was apparent to everyone (except the heroine) that the doctor had fallen hard.

Though I enjoyed this one, it wasn't one of my favorites by Betty. There wasn't any tension in the story other than the heroine's insecurities and lack of common sense when it came to Julius. I so much prefer it when there are credible outside forces jeopardizing the relationship. Even the OW, was very tame considering she was thrown in at the very last minute without any rhyme or reason.

If you are on a quest to read all of Betty's books, I don't think this will disappoint. But if you are just starting out on your Betty Neel voyage, there are other more popular ones that I would recommend: Henrietta's Own Castle, Caroline's Waterloo, Tabitha in the Moonlight, Matilda's Wedding (White Weddings), Winter Wedding
