Description

WAS SHE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME? Cressida had lost her parents and badly needed a new focus. So going to Holland to help an elderly Dutch doctor with a book he was writing, giving up her own nursing job for a while, seemed ideal. Her new employer had two partners. One was elderly and friendly, like himself, while the other was younger and... not quite so friendly. Giles van der Tiele always seemed to be snubbing Cressida, putting her in her place. But when he wanted to, he could show more be extremely charming - too much so for her peace of mind! show less

A Matter of Chance by Betty Neels; (5*)

This author has a way with words and continually provides excellent, sweet stories that are such a delight to read. She writes of likeable and fairly realistic characters portraying the events that lead to a love we all seek but few of us find.
This was very well written and Neels has a way of describing the surroundings perfectly. Here, the events unfold in a simplistic style that leaves me wanting to read another one of her cherished stories soon.
