A Solid Story

This is not one of my favorites, but still a good read. The hero is a doctor/professor as usual, but there is very little mention of medicine. In fact, the hero is really a secondary character, just dropping in now and then to say something usually sarcastic and annoying. I liked it and will probably read it again some day.

An Enjoyable Quick Read

Book Description: After her parents' deaths, and her brother's departure for America, Jemima had no choice but to make a new life for herself. Since she wasn't trained for anything, that wasn't going to be easy. On the whole, she realized she had been very lucky to be taken on as companion-help to Lady Manderly, yet Jemima knew that her life was somehow unsatisfactory, and she felt unfulfi lled. Such thoughts might, of course, have something to do with Lady Manderly's nephew--Professor Alexander Cator! Jemina showed strength and solid judgment at times but her decisions or responses appeared poor or at the very least questionable at other times. This was especially evident when Alexander was near or involved. ... Not one of my favorites but very much a story many Neels fan will enjoy.

Not a doormat

Back Cover description: She had nowhere to turn. After her parent's deaths, and her brother's departure for Canada, Jemima had no choice but to make a new life for herself. As she wasn't trained for anything, that wasn't going to be easy! On the whole, she realized she had been very lucky to be taken on as companion-help to old Lady Manderly, but still, Jemima knew that her life was somehow unsatisfactory, and she felt unfulfilled. That might, of course, have something to do with Lady Manderly's nephew--Professor Alexander Cator!This heroine has a strong character and can stand up for herself. Nicely plotted and the romance developes in stages. I liked this Jemima and it's always satisfying to see how the hero falls in love.
