Claim Now Doctor's Desire Penned By Ida Pollock Displayed As Digital Format

book features a scenario I've seen before in Averil Ives' books: an older H who has been in a position of influence in the h's teen years, and an h who is young but who is able to keep her composure much more successfully than the H, who can't admit her feelings.


It's not highly romantic because the H is such a dolt and the h has to endure so much until he finally admits to himself that he loves her.
However, once the H is all in he is quite giddy from happiness and that wins him back some lost points.


There is one thing that is either jarring or hilarious that makes it hard to see this as a complete HEA, and the way the OM storyline was resolved.
They are quite blithe about it considering he is the H's brother, All in all, I give it,stars.Stars! This vintage Harlequin Romance is a treasure indeed! The fact that this book was writtenyears ago, does not detract from it's charm or make the story less compelling.
Our heroine is reunited with the young doctor who once saved her from a horrible life in a wheelchair.
Their path to a HEA was a true delight to read, Ms. Ives has several pseudonyms that I'll be sure to look out for at my local UBS, Her writing voice is very pleasing and though some of the circumstances in this book are of course for the time it was written, this pleasing voice carries you away quite easily and the characters become alive.
I'm very much looking forward to reading more treasures such a this! The Doctor who saved Valerie's schoolgirl life and limbs was charming and gay.
Seven years later, fame had turned him into an unapproachable, dignified surgeon,

Despite Dr. Axel Anton's changed exterior, Valerie, while looking after his young niece in Vienna, found her calf devotion developing into a much deeper, mature love.
The fact that his love was not returned made no difference to the depth of Valerie's feelings, and even Axel's debonair, irresponsible brother Rudi could not fill the gap in Valerie's heart.


Then in the remote mountain schloss her unhappiness caused her to make a rash decision but one that Fate evidently did not intend her to keep.
It was an okish book I really liked the heroine Valerie who battles a life threatening accident and having lost her father and their fortune takes up a job as a Governess.
The hero Axel I found to be a bit aloof and keeping Valerie away even when they knew one another from so long.
