Customer Reviews

Books you can share with your teenage daughters

Betty Neels books are always good reading. I started reading them at thirteen and and years later still enjoy them. Her books show capable, intelligent young women who can take care of themselves. They are rewarded by relationships with men who treat them with respect. The heroines usually give some type of service, whether as nurses or the daughters of the local minister, to the community. The heros, successful doctors, usually do surgery or something on a pro-bono basis. Betty Neel's books show that you can have a good story without vulgarity and promiscuity. You can share these books with your teenage daughters.

The Best of Betty

I've been reading this author forever. Between my sister, my mother and I, we own every Betty Neels ever put out by HQ and MB. And I've read all of them at least twice. Some of them far more than that.THE SECRET POOL is one of her best. It is certainly--hands down--the most emotional. Skip the tissue, go directly for the paper towel. But of course there's a happy ending. Hear, hear for Dutch professors and English nurses.

ONE OF THE BEST AUTHORS!

Although not emotionally gripping enough to rate a 5 star -- never the less Betty Neels stories are good clean reading and very fascinating. I love her characters.[from the back] **********SHE NEEDED TIME -- AWAY FROM HIM!Likable, sensible Francesca seldom met anyone she didn't get along well with. In fact, as ward nurse of a Cotswold village hospital, she was considered perfect.Except, it seemed, in the eyes of Dr. van Rijgen, an arragant specialist, whose manner often sparked feelings in Fran she couldn't always fathom or control.But now, on vacation in Holland, Fran felt free from those unsettling encounters. That is, until the eminent doctor tracked her down...... **********This is one author, that no matter what, I will keep her books --- they can be loaned to anyone without fear of content.Her doctors always seem arrogant but hide strong feelings and it takes a wonderful woman to awaken him to love.The Secret Pool is #1 for appearance in other books -- #2 is The Girl With Green Eyes #3105 and possibly #3249 [I find this important to my reading enjoyment]You will enjoy these great books.

A unique direction to go for love.

Betty Neels' books are always enjoyable for me. I look forward to each one that comes out. They are quiet time reading and allow my mind to wonder through someone else's life, troubles and to eventually find out she had found her Prince Charming. I am still waiting for my Prince, but reading about someone finding theirs let's me keep hoping I'll run into mine.
