Customer Reviews

Only By Chance - A very nice read!

This book was a good read. The hero is a balanced character, neither sugar sweet (as are a few occasional Neels heroes), nor does he start out as mean and surly. There's an unusual first meeting between Adam and Henrietta. Most of all, readers will care for Henrietta's character, who is living in near squalor and hasn't a true friend or ally in the world until Adam looks after her out of sheer decency.

Only By Chance by Betty Neels (Large Print Harlequin Hardcover)

Another sweet, satisfying romance from Betty Neels. Henrietta works part-time in Occupational Therapy at the hospital, which is where she first meets Dr. Adam Ross-Pitt. When she comes down with pneumonia and loses her position at the hospital, Adam finds her new work at the Manor House ... of course she falls in love with him. But he's set to marry Deirdre Stone ... or is he? Description from the book back cover: Only by chance - Life had not been easy for Henrietta Cowper, but she hoped to improve her lot. Then, shortly after she first met consultant neurosurgeon Mr. Adam Ross-Pitt, Henrietta fell seriously ill - and her world changed irrevocably. She had Mr. Ross-Pitt to thank for her new job at the manor-house near his home, but she was sensible enough to realise that he was beyond her reach. If her gratitude tipped into love, there was no need for him to know - even if he did continue to come to her rescue ...

A charming Cinderella story, minus the nasty stepsisters.
