DNF at 40%. I cannot bring myself to care about these two in the slightest. They both cold and boring.
Arabella is supposed to be used to introspection, but no… she’s just constantly confused about what she’s feeling. Like she’s a baby trying on emotions for the first time.
Phillip is just going through the motions of life and pretty much don’t feel anything too deeply. He kisses Arabella and they’re both just as surprised as the other as if he had no control over his body. Poor man obviously needs an exorcist instead of a wife.
They’re both excruciatingly boring, zero passions, no ambition, flat characters.

They knew each other as children never really getting along. She was rebellious and only wanted to marry for love. He didn’t want to find love being scared from a childhood tragedy. Yet, fate and a special plot had different plans for them. This story is filled with emotional feelings that will capture your heart and keep you enchanted throughout.
Arabella and Philip the Duke of Tillington were no strangers to each other. Having to spend a season together and some plotting seem to add a whole new twist into there relationship. Feelings and emotions were on a rollercoaster. Both fighting them. Could they though ? Was Love strong enough to put the past behind and look toward the future ?
An amazing story of love and friendship growing. A delightful read .

REALL NICE STORY LOVED THE CHARACTERS
Arabella and Phillip grew up together their parent's were friends, as children they did not get on very well.
They had very little to do with each other as they grew, Phillip as a young man did his tour and travelled the world on his return he decided it was time to marry.
Isabella had been sent to London for the season by her parents to go d a husband (extremely independent young lady) had her own views.
DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYMORE SO.
I enjoyed this great characters.
ONE CRITICISM IS THAT THE EXTENDED EPILOGUE DOES NOT TELL WHAT IT IS ! AN (R) OR A (J) WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE.

💞 Arabella and Philip 💞
What a sweet, fun, and oh so romantic story! I absolutely loved the interaction between Arabella and Philip. They were both so adamant that they disliked each other. However, they were actually so drawn together they both had to do all they could to fight against their feelings. Love always wins, though!
There were several typos at the beginning of the story, but other than that, I applaud Ms. Baton on a wonderful story of true love ❤️💐

Phillip and Arabella
Oh what fun this book was it is all about two characters who have known each other since they were children and of course disliked each other but good old fate plans on throwing a monkey wrench into that idea of course fate just might have a helper. Phillip and Arabella were awesome characters and the author wrote them so well but the whole cast were such a great mix I loved them all even the brat.

This story is entertaining and hard to put down. It was evident from the start that Lady Miller was trying to match them and that they would become a couple, but the banter before that was delightful. Arabella and Phillip resist their attraction, writing it off to the other being annoying. Those around them either encourage or are out to destroy them, taking this book to another level. The extended epilogue was sweet, but ... girl or boy?

I loved reading this book about Arabella and Philip as children they disliked each other, but fate has brought together once again as their families want a match between them. The author has the ability to draw you into their lives as they find their dislike for each changes to being attracted to each other and much more….A must read…Loved it.

Amazing story!
This is a fabulous story! I absolutely loved it! I liked the feisty Arabella. I loved Philip! But, he was so worried about things that didn’t matter…. I guessed the identity of the letter writer and figured out about the “promise”. I found a few tears while reading the epilogue! An excellent read that I highly recommend.

Such a sweet love story where two people are thrown together and who learn about each other and who grow to realize what true love is all about. It does have a little bit of intrigue and a backstory of tragedy but in the end it shows that opposites do really attract.

This was a really fun book! The characters were really well written. I loved Phillip and Arabella. I was rooting for them the whole time. Love/hate relationships always make for fun books. This is a great book to read if you are looking to escape to a different time. I highly recommend it!

Sometimes love is right in front of you.
A wonderful story from start to finish by Tiffany. There's friendship and old banter, there's humor and sincerity along with a little drama! The story carries you along the way with even some adventure.

The Duke and the Bluestocking —Enemies to lovers?
Arabella and Phillip always got on each other’s nerves. As adults, they dreaded spending time together, until they realized their feelings had changed. But Philip was engaged to someone else so wasn’t it too late?

Excellent Story!
This was so good. Lady Betty was so mean and cruel. What a manipulator she was. I read this without putting it down.

The Regency at its best
A beautiful HEA between two who knew each other their entire lives, where one's tragedy only brought them closer together.
