1.0 out of 5 stars simply...awful 12 Jan 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
With the end of the Napoleonic war, Bella MacFarlane, now the widowed Duchess of Dorney, returns to England with her son, Jamie, who is now the Duke at age 3. Bella basically grew up following her father in the war. She is an army brat, of sorts. Philippe Armitage was one of Wellington's favorite mapmakers, who fell in love wiht Bella and asked her father if he could marry her and he refused. After a night of passion between the two, they became engaged but Philippe was supposed to have been killed in battle and Bella married his cousin, Edwin, the duke, instead. But Philippe is not dead and hence another author has written a story about marrying the wrong man when you think your lover is dead. This story has been done so many times and much better. You have the traditional question regarding who the child's father really is (and we guess that within the first chapter). Also, within the first 10 pages, we know Bella still loves Phillipe, he still loves her, loves Jamie. But he thinks she betrayed him to marry the duke, someone who obviously had more money. So than we have to go through some 400 pages, yes, 400 pages, of them constantly fighting! She is a silly woman who does not want to accept reality that hey - the war is over and you can relax. She is always gunning for a fight. And Phillipe was so stubborn it was painful to read. I don't know why authors feel that for a woman to be respected or thought to be smart she has to be so argumentive. The story was almost impossible to finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining tale 3 Oct 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1811 on the Spanish front, Arabella MacFarlane and Phillipe Armitage know their position is helpless and they will die before the night is out. Deeply attracted to one another, the duo shares a glorious night of lovemaking before the end. However, she survives but believes he died at the hands of the French. Subsequently, she marries his cousin. By 1815 Bella is in London, a widow when her spouse died just after becoming a Duke. Bella's plans to stay on the family farm as her thirst to help the English soldiers at war ended with Napoleon's downfall.

However, Bella's simple plan has a thorn in that her Phillipe, the man she never forgot from that one evening of fire, lives. Though he loves her, he believes she betrayed him, making a relationship between them seemingly impossible.

Fans of Regency romance know that Barbara Miller always provides a stirring romantic tale (see DEAREST MAX). Her latest sub-genre entry, MY PHILLIPE, is an action-packed, ardent romance that will cement the author's reputation among readers. Bella is a brave individual initially doing what she believes is needed to help the English cause and later on to protect her son. Though Phillipe's obstinacy occasionally becomes irritating, he remains a powerful person fighting self made demons. Ms. Miller is turning into a strong voice in the historical romance universe.

1.0 out of 5 stars A real good one.... 17 Nov 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
... to not buy. I have to agree with the previous reviewer (see the review just below this one, which accurately states the plot and which cannot be added to for perfection).

I see nothing in this story that hasn't been written before. It is like the author thumbed through a shelf at the local [store] to find her next plot, names for her characters, scenes and even some of her dialogue. In fact I have to wonder if the remainder of the book is actually the author's work......if not, then who?

Whatever the case, I hope she didn't quit her day job to take up writing.
