Rainbow summer

When Katy Lang failed her finals, the thought of continuing nursing at St Anne's was out of the question. Rescue was at hand when Resident Paediatrician Sean MacInnon offered her the opportunity to nurse one of his young asthmatic patients in Yorkshire - just the break she needed to decide her future. But after he helped her, Katy began to resent Sean's overbearing way of appearing to make all her decisions for her.

I like the heroine of this book but I despised the hero. I also didn't like the direction the author took this book. Katy, a 3rd year nursing student has just failed to pass her finals. She is offered a job acting as nurse companion to a young boy with asthma. Sean the doctor who has offered her this position has a reputation as a playboy. Katy refuses the job and goes home with the intention of keeping house for her widowed father. When she gets home she soon finds that she is not wanted. Her dad is going to be remarried and step-mother to be seems intent on pushing Katy out the door. So of course she accepts the job offer. She was a kind gentle girl who had the misfortune to fall for the doctor who frankly told her he didn't believe in two people being tied together-trapped that that wasn't his idea of love. He believed in "free love" without commitment. He also flaunts his attentions to another woman in her presence. She has a makeover with the help of the other woman who is in the fashion industry. Her debut at a party draws criticism from him and when she tells him off he says she needs to remember that he is a doctor and she a failed nurse. Just before he leaves the party he accuses her of acting like a tramp which I found ironic since he had tried to seduce her shortly after she started her job. At the end of the job he lets her go home without a qualm and turns up near the end of the book explaining that he had intended to let her go and to forget her but he couldn't. He explains that he is selfish and I agree he was. Her feelings were never considered important. Read this on openlibrary.org
