Tangled Autumn (The Best of Betty Neels)

Tangled Autumn is not one of Betty Neels novels that I like very much. The two main characters, Dutch doctor and English nurse, fight throughout the entire novel and I got tired of it very quickly. I also don't like the stories in which the hero has to have everything his way and is willing to manipulate and bully to get what he wants. On the other hand, the parts about Scotland are nice and, if you have read any of Neels' novels, you know it will end happily.

Formulaic, but still a good read. Something to read out by the pool when you're working on your tan. It keeps your interest, but as I said, it is a "formula" written book.

This is one of Betty Neels' earlier books and it is one of her best. For those who like her formula romances of "Dutch doctor and English nurse fall in love," this one is a winner. Ok, so the hero is the traditional "tall dark and handsome" kind,and their aren't alot of surprises in the plot, but the plot is nicely spiced with medical situations and the descriptions of the scenery are appealing. Sometimes I can't figure out why certain Neels books are selected for re-release, because they weren't among her best, but this one is an excellent choice and for people who enjoy Neels and/or medical romances, bringing back an old favorite will give them the chance to enjoy a Neels classic which has been hard to find in its vintage state.
