A Pleasant Neels Cinderella Love Story ... 5+ stars

Book Description: Romance Wasn't In Her Contract ... When Matilda Paige applies to be Dr. Henry Lowell's new receptionist, she does her best to ignore her instant attraction to him. It wouldn't do to dream of marrying the boss - especially when Henry is already engaged to the haughty Lucilla. But Matilda still thinks she'd suit Henry better ... and it looks like he might agree! Matilda Paige realized within half an hour of her interview with the handsome Dr. Henry Lowell that she had fallen in love with him. Though Henry hired Matilda because she was plain, mousey, and would not distract him from his work Matilda was neither timid nor intimated by Henry. Matilda is sorely used and put-upon by her absent minded father and selfish, self-centered mother; but loved and treasured by villagers. While this is a Cinderella story in that Henry grows to love Matilda and rescues her from her mother, Matilda rescues Henry from his selfish girlfriend and half-lived life. A pleasant Neels story where we see Henry and the entire village fall in love with Matilda

A Cinderella Story with pure Betty Neels flair

I have to remember where the story take place for the mother made me upset with her selfishness and telling Matilda that she was the selfish one. It help to enhance the ending. It is definitely a Cinderella story if ever there was one. I enjoyed the way Matilda worked her way in the villagers hearts and into the doctor's as well. I love Betty Neels and trying to collect every book she ever written. I look forward to reading them all.
