Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-28 00:00:00 Richard Bray This is a little bit different than most of Betty's plots in that the heroine is not mousy, but rather striking. She comes from a loving, well adjusted family with no evil step-mothers or evil sisters. The hero is crazy for the heroine right from the start and there is no question that he is patiently waiting for the heroine to come to her senses. The heroine is not pining away from un-requited love for the good Dutch Doctor, but rather in love with a no good "skirt chaser". My only regret is the ending was a bit abrupt, but that is usually the case with these older HPs. This was a delightful and different twist to the traditional nurse/doctor stories from Betty.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-13 00:00:00 Tracy Dobbs This was a different twist with Betty Neel�s ongoing fascination with RDDs and naive heroines. At the opening of the story, Rachel Downing had been working alongside Professor Radmer van Tuele for a couple of years. She had a boyfriend, Melville, and believed with her heart that she was in love. She had two loving, supportive parents. She was beautiful (not mousy) but not vain and, with the exception of her childlike trust she awarded the skanky Melville, she was amiable. The big downside to this romance was she looked at him through rose-tinted glasses too long; some people are like that. Radmer was the quiet common-sense protector. I thought of him as a bodyguard. When things went amiss in Rachel�s life, he was there. He was solid and stoic and gently hinted of his feelings�.if only she would remove the above-mentioned blinders. I had to remind myself that taking an excessive amount of time for the MCs to communicate their love is one of Mrs. Neels� trademarks. Recently I mentioned to a GR friend that I find her stories soothing. I know what to expect because Mrs. Neels has a plot device that she rarely deviates from; it seems to work for those of us that are fans. You need to have a certain level of patience. Most of the time, you will either like her stories or you won�t. I enjoyed Off With The Old Love.
