Roses and Champagne

I have fallen in love with Betty Neels' books just recently. Lucius reminds me of a precursor to the alpha males we read about in the Harlequin Presents series. He is bossy and pretty good at planning how to keep Katrina in his sight. I don't see Katrina as spineless, but just like most of Ms. Neels ' heroines, simply clueless to what is going on around her. Sometimes, I do wish these people would just open up and get to the point, but then, we wouldn't have a book to read. I enjoyed the story very much and am looking forward to reading her other books.

Roses and Champagne

Back Cover: "WILL HE EVER SEE HOW SHE REALLY FEELS?....Katrina Gibson has known Lucius Massey all her life, and her childish hero worship has grown into a comfortable, warm friendship. They're so at ease in their friendship that a pretend engagement to each other to teach Katrina's selfish (spoiled) sister Virginia a lesson strikes both as a worthwhile but harmless idea. Yet as more and more people congratulate Katrina on her match, a mysterious sadness begins to creep into her heart...."This book is especially pleasing because it is like a breath of fresh air while still being a satisfying example of Ms. Neels' artful formulaic writing. The heroine in the story is the familiar older sibling who has taken on responsibility beyond her years, and who has done so without hesitation or complaint and with grace, courage, warmth and humility. This heroine, however, comes from a family with sufficient money and has a longtime best friend who is the hero....and the hero ISN'T A DOCTOR ! :) The hero has of course seen her great heart and worth and uses his wits and his patience to await her awakening to her true feelings for him. Though deviating substantially from her more familiar formulas, the book is completely charming and fun.

One of her best!

This is my very favorite Betty Neels book. I have read it many many times.
