Description

She thought he was too big for his boots! Sister Charity Dawson loved her job, but there was one problem. Like the other members of St. Simon's nursing staff, she had to put up with the arrogant Dr. Everard van Tijlen. When Charity discovered that the distinguished doctor's exorbitant fees funded a playboy lifestyle, she hit the roof. Everard might have an engagingly boyish smile, but he needed to be taken down a peg or two. And Charity knew just how to do it!.

The Gemel Ring by Betty Neels; (3*)

Not the best Neels I have read, yet enjoyable enough.
A British nurse working private cases for a Dutch doctor; love with all of its prickly asides takes center stage. All comes out nicely in the end.
I have to say that I really liked all of the characters in this little story. I would really have liked to get to know a Corrie, the resident nurse and manager of the good doctor's senior home. She seemed such a 'real' person.
A very obtuse male. A lovely heroine.
