Typical but enjoyable story. British nurse is annoyed by Dutch doctor, then falls for him, but there's an unsuitable other woman in the picture, but it's all cleared up nicely in the end. I did enjoy that the other woman/unsuitable fiancée in this one was not scheming and Machiavellian, just self-centered to an astonishing degree. She is disposed of handily in a manner that is not cruel, and is actually rather amusing. We do have the regular issues of a lead man who refuses to ever explain himself and a lead woman who jumps to conclusions, but sometimes it's comforting to know how a story is all going to turn out. It's restful.
