3. Awakened heart

by Betty Neels, Rated B

I don't know why I like this author's cheesy romances. I just do. I always read them and they are always basically the same. The hero is always a doctor and is Dutch, the heroine is always English and a nurse. He is rich, large and handsome, she is poor, dumpy and plain. It's always a marriage on convenience and they later fall in love sometime between the first and second helpings of dessert. I am exaggerating here but not by much.

The chaste courtship is mainly conducted traveling from one restaurant to another where they order sumptuous meals that the author describes in great detail. All the passion in these books is restricted to food. One can only imagine if she ever wrote a sequel to any of these books how heavy the couple would be.

But I liked it, I will read the next one when it comes out. So there!
