MISS PETERSON AND THE COLONEL
REVIEWS
Lydia Peterson is a woman who runs her own life and the lives of those around her. Colonel Simon Wescott, fresh from the Peninsular War, is used to being in charge of everything around him. When family members bring these two together the sparks fly. But will it be love or war? This is the first story I have read from Fenella Miller and it will not be the last. From the first page, I was caught in the story and couldn't wait to see all the situations Lydia got herself into. Add Simon Wescott to the story and it was one laugh after another. The two characters balanced each other greatly. The plot of the story kept me wondering what would happen next to these two characters from the first page to the last. I love how the secondary characters brought out the best in both the main characters and can only hope that there will be more stories from this author to see how they all fare in years to come. Miss Peterson and the Colonel was a very moving story and I enjoyed it very much. This is one I will let my young teen read. For those out there who let their children read romance this one is a great one for them. Not only did it not have a lot of sexual content in it, but the story showed that women were able to be independent and still find love.

Interview With Miss Lydia Peterson
Interview with Miss Lydia Peterson from Miss Peterson & The Colonel by Fenella J Miller Ms Miller: Welcome, Miss Peterson, thank you so much for taking the time away from your busy schedule to talk to me. Miss Peterson: It is a pleasure to be here, ma'am, I know little about the press but my brother, David Peterson, assures me it is perfectly acceptable for a young lady to speak to someone from such a prestigious publication as yours. Ms Miller: Firstly could you tell me a little about yourself. Miss Peterson: I live in the country, Papa passed away five years ago leaving my brother and I to manage the stud farm together. Although, as an unmarried young lady I have no legal rights to own property or make decisions. However, I can assure you it is I who is in charge here. David is younger than me and I am hardly going to be taking orders from a young man whose wet breeches I changed. Ms Miller: Do you have any other brothers or sisters? Miss Peterson: I do indeed. I have a dear sister, Ellen, who is my senior by several years. She is married to Edward, Lord Grayson They have two delightful twin boys, George and Arthur and she is in an interesting condition at the moment. They reside mostly in Town, but have a substantial country estate to which they return in the summer months. Ms Miller: I believe you are to visit Lady Grayson tomorrow? Miss Peterson: That is correct. I am to leave first thing. Lady Grayson wishes me to meet her brother-in-law, Colonel Wescott. I am quite certain she hopes he will make me an offer. However, I have no intention of giving up my independence to anyone however personable. Ms Miller: Is Colonel Wescott a handsome man? Miss Peterson: From what my sister has told me he is taller than his brother and just as attractive. Lord Grayson is extremely personable so I imagine Colonel Wescott must be also. However, I shouldn't think he is as easy going as my brother-in-law. Good heavens! He is a soldier and used to commanding the troops. No doubt he will be autocratic and expect me to obey his every command. Ms Miller: I like your outfit, but isn't it awkward walking around in a long dress? Miss Peterson: I shall tell you something in confidence, and you must promise not to print it in your periodical. Ms Miller: I give you my word; whatever you say will be off the record. Miss Peterson: When I am working I wear men's attire. Now, isn't that shocking? I also ride astride, I only use a side saddle when in Town. Ms Miller: I had no idea young ladies in your time showed such independence. I see your housekeeper is trying to attract your attention. Does that mean you have to go? Miss Peterson: I do apologise, madam, but I have several business matters to attend to before I can leave for my visit to London. Thank you for taking the trouble to come out here to speak to me. I bid you good afternoon. Ms Miller: Miss Peterson, it was a pleasure to speak to you. I hope you will let us know how you got on with Colonel Wescott. He sounds an interesting character.
