Fate Is Remarkable

Fate is Remarkable by Betty Neels, 1970 Harlequin

     Sara Dunn is Sister in a London hospital. She works well with consulting Doctor Hugo van Elven in Outpatients. The doctor is a handsome man, rumored to be mourning an old flame and Sara is focused on her career and the young surgical registrar she's been seeing. When one of their respiratory patients and her cat need caring for after surgery and in her few remaining weeks the doctor uses the opportunity to orchestrate time with the pretty young nurse.
     Sarah is seeing the surgical registrar, Steven, who has a big announcement, however, it isn't what Sarah expects. When Steven announces his engagement to the daughter of a surgical consultant, Doctor van Elven attempts to distract Sarah from the breakup. She is more than happy to help their patient redecorate for her remaining time.
     The doctor continues to woo Sister Sarah as he continues to fall in love with her. When he proposes he cites mutual liking but Sarah challenges a marriage without love. She agrees to the pairing but questions whether the doctor is still caught on his former flame crowd in on her happiness.
     Hugo and Sarah develop a life together without the traditional romance. The more she learns about her new husband the more Sarah years for the spark. When his former girlfriend shows up, Sarah realizes just her deep her feelings run, and how far she is willing to go to make him happy.
     Sarah and Hugo get their happy ending in true Betty Neels form. Some bumps along the way make the journey worth the wait. Though Sarah and Hugo deal with loss and some tense situations, Fate is Remarkable is a good read for younger readers and an enjoyable romance for any age.
