Betty Neels wrote a small number of short stories and novellas alongside her many full-length novels. These four works, published between 1999 and 2008, offer compact versions of her signature romance style. A Christmas Romance (1999) has the holiday setting that Neels returned to often in her career, while Dearest Eulalia (2000) and The Proposal (2001) are among her final original works.
An Ordinary Girl, published in 2008, is a posthumous release. All four titles share the hallmarks of Neels’s longer fiction: likeable heroines, dignified heroes, and a reassuring sense that everything will work out in the end. For readers curious about Betty Neels but unsure about starting with a full novel, these shorter works provide a good sample of what made her so popular.
