Clotilde Collins has worked with Dr. James Thackery at busy St. Alma's Hospital in London for three years, but she's never considered their relationship as anything more than solidly professional.

How easy it would be to fall in love with him. Except he's already committed to another woman….

Title: A Wholesome, Delightful Read
Review: I really enjoyed Tilly and James. They were friends long before she discovered her feelings for him. Lots of descriptions of life on the medical ward of a London hospital, lavish meals, lovely clothes and delightful homes to escape to. This is the usual fare you can expect from Neels, but James, unlike many of her heroes, is charming, and not always cold and impatient. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Title: Sweet.
Review: I have been reading the books by Betty Neels for more years than I can say. I read them all at one time and now when I get bored with today's selection, I buy a Betty Neels for my Kindle. She used a formula for her books and they all are about the same yet different. A sweet romance.

Title: 4 1/2 STARS
Review: Review Tally - based out of 5Briefly, part of this is from another review, but will explain my bias a little. [Ok, before I go into my review, I feel I have to be 100% honest with you. I am a huge - make that HUGE Betty Neels fan. I discovered her when I was 10 or 11 years old. Over the years, I have collected every Betty Neels novel ever in print. Even special ordering them all the way from England because I was having difficulty finding them over here in the States.]OVERALL: 4 1/2 STARSStory/Plot: 5 - Having read any number of Betty Neels books, sometimes I remember others more clearly than others. There are times I go looking for a specific book and cannot find it because although I remember the book, I don't remember the title. I find this deeply frustrating especially when I have so many books I have to go through just to find one specific book.This being said, I want to help others like me out there, who are fans of Betty Neels or who are looking for a specific title, but feel helpless lost in the sea of her amazing amount of books. So, I am going to post a brief spoiler at the beginning of her books here in this section in the hopes I can help you find that one book you must read again.SPOILER COMMENT: This one is a little complex, and I will have to drop some hefty spoilers if this is the book you're looking for. Our hero is Consultant James Thackery - for those of ya'll who are sticklers, his Mother is Dutch, Father British - and he's been in love with Ward Sister Clotilde Collins for a long while now, but sadly, she is engaged. Then, tragedy strikes, Clotilde/Tilly's Mother and Father are killed in a car accident returning from Switzerland via France. Dr. Thackery steps in to help when her financially motivated fiance is too busy for her. After the funeral, she learns her home has been mortgaged and will need to be sold. With the normal adage when it rains it pours, after finding out his fiance is broke and cannot buy him a practice, her fiance breaks it off with her. Of course, much more happens, but I don't want to spoil it too much for you.Those of ya'll that are Betty Neels fans know the general premise is a rich handsome doctor falls for a nurse (sometimes she is not beautiful, she might be under appreciated or from a home of privilege but has recently fallen on hard times).Those of you who are not Betty Neels fans, I highly recommend her works especially if you like Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer. Her romances are usually light, sweet and quick reads (usually no more than 9 chapters).Highly enjoyable any volume you pick up.Re-read Value: 5 - I always re-read Betty Neels.Continue Series: - Not Applicable.Characters: 5 - I enjoy all characters in Betty Neels titles.Cover: 3 - 50/50. To be honest, if you didn't know who Betty Neels was when you picked up this cover, you might not know it was a romance from the look of it. But prior to her passing and when she did pass, there were a number of her books that were reissued with these more artsy covers. I also have the original cover this was released in paperback, which does say romance.Genre Fulfillment: 5 - Romance, check.Personal Involvement: 4 - I love reading and re-reading Betty Neels as mentioned above. Her stories are just so light and refreshing. It's not something I can explain very well. I am sure if you're a fan, you will know what I am talking about and if this is your first chance at reading a Betty Neels title, you'll kinda understand what I am saying after you finish it. I put this at a 4 only because this title is not one of my personal all time favorites, but I do highly recommend it.

Title: beloved author
Review: I have been buying Betty Neels books for my mother (in her 70's) at her request, as an introduction to using a Kindle. I can say without hesitation that she loves all of these books. As she has said, "The plots may all be somewhat similar and the stories quaint, but I enjoy them immensely and find them endearing." What better recommendation could there be? She now has almost every Betty Neels book available for the Kindle. (And the Kindle Paperwhite? She loves the backlight and the ability to make the font larger.)

Title: Very nice
Review: Another pretty good story by Betty Neels. I really get a kick out of them. I don't like to tell the story in my review, more fun for the reader this way.

Title: good story
Review: Pretty standard Betty with competent nurse and handsome Consultant physician. Despite death of her parents and her engagement ending, very low angst. Medical care not quite as outdated as sometimes. Perfect for a lazy, rainy afternoon with a cup of tea.

Review: I'm an older reader, 83, this author writes gentle romance stories - no heaving explicit scenes)!! that are intriguing enough to keep you interested, wondering how it will untangle . The male is always tall and broad shouldered, a Consultant with an authoritative bearing. he is usually a Dutchman, visiting Britain. a millionaire (come on it IS a story!) The woman a Staff nurse or a Sister working in the hospital he is visiting. Her eyes are always beautiful, either grey or green, her hair mostly long and straight. I listen to her stories at night on my Kindle Fire, they are always Happy ever after books, guaranteeing Sweet Dreams!!

Review: Betty Neels' stories are charmingly old fashioned romances, perfect for undemanding escapism. Themes that come up in all Neels' books are the medical world (she was a nurse), England, Scotland and Holland.The settings are always beautifully described and the characters believable. Although the stories are somewhat similar I find I don't mind at all because descriptions of countryside, houses and cottages, furnishings, cities, cars and clothes are all so pleasaant that it's rather like spending time in familiarly soothing surroundings. Thanks to Neels' medical knowledge the many nurses and doctors in her stories are completely convincing. Her intimate knowledge of Holland is apparent in her descriptions of the cities and the history, and her references to popular Dutch meals and titbits of the language . She gives her readers the same level of fascinating detail in Scotland and England. The books provide a delightful afternoon's read when you need something relaxing to escape to!

Review: This is one of Betty Neels great books, as they all have been. But , Once For All Time is such a gentle sweeping story. No really sharp twists and turns, but a gentle meander through the love of two people.Well worth the read!
