Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-02 00:00:00 Mike Batchelor Nov. 2016 - still a favorite, and a lovely Christmas-time read! Jan. 2014 - A beloved Betty Christmas story, I decided to kick off the New Year with a reread. Margo is one of my favorite Betty heroines, plain, sensible, loving and kind but not a pushover by any means, and Gijs is a great hero - you can actually see why the two of them gradually come to love each other, at about the same pace, which is nice for a change! My only fault was the silly drawn out misunderstanding at the end, which was ridiculous and annoying but further points out how honorable Margo was about keeping a promise (in this case to Gijs' flirty, spoiled younger sister). Very satisfying HEA with Margo sobbing over the antique baby crib in the attic - Betty can shamelessly pour on the schmaltz and I love it!

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-14 00:00:00 Davina Kaplan I'm continuing my journey through all my "Betty's". This actually is a strong 4 stars and I can understand how many readers rank this amongst their favorites by Neels. I loved the hero. However, a silly and implausible misunderstanding knocked it down to 3 stars for me. ___________________________________ Interestingly enough I am pretty sure that I read this book before and actually wrote a review. But I can no longer find it. This isn't one of my favorite MOCs from Betty, but it still worked. I had a hard time connecting with the H/h. I didn't find them as endearing as Tyco and Charity The Final Touch or Matilda and Henry in Matilda's Wedding (White Weddings), or Tabitha and Marius in Tabitha in the Moonlight. I found them to be one dimensional and a bit stiff, like cardboard. Plus Betty poured just about everything but the kitchen sink into this one. There were times that I found myself rolling my eyes and wondering which way was up.
