An entire plot point based on the idea that these women were triplets? No. Did not work for me. I found it way too unbelievable and frankly stupid. The fmc was annoying with her insecurity and so insanely sheltered. Her loyalty to her obvious ridiculous father was over the top. This just did not work.

I want to start out by saying I was excited by the premise. Marriage of convenience to provide an heir is a classic and the author sets the stage well.

Rick, the MMC and a duke, simply must marry to provide an heir, get his mother off his back and prevent the dukedom from going to a distant family member upon his death. Rick is unwell and concerned for his future health. To placate his mother, he picks a random name off a list of eligible brides and proposes marriage.

Miss Edwina Fine receives a note from the Duke with his proposal. She visits him to accept the proposal but he has forgotten all about the note! Rick plays it off and they negotiate the marriage requirements, with both of them keeping secrets. Rick is hiding his poor health. Edwina's secret is that she is one of three triplets! This is where the story lost the thread for me. The author had Edwina think over and over again how bad/unlucky it is that she is a triplet without giving an example of people treating her differently because of that.

I liked the premise but the story just didn't live up to it. I almost gave up halfway through but wanted to give the book a fair shake since I was given an ARC from NetGalley. The writing had a tendency to drag on and I think the book would have been better if it was shorter/had better pacing.

The story opens with a Duke being hounded by his mother to marry. He has recurring fevers and isn't feeling well. To get his mother off his back he picks a name off her list and writes a proposal on a paper not thinking it would actually get to the lady in question.

Of course it does and she comes to his door to accept. He doesn't even remember any of this until she produces the note.

He honors his proposal and the marriage of convenience blossoms into more. Charming story.

Ooff! This is a new to me author so to make sure I gave it a fair review, I read the previous book in this series before I started on this one. I have to say that I preferred the first book a whole lot more than this one. Ultimately, I dont think I am a fan of this author's writings, nor her characters.

Summary: Rick (Duke number two in the series) experiences intermitted fevers and is now worried he may die before producing an heir, so while out of his mind with a fever he picks a name from a list of young ladies and send her a proposal. Edwina needs to marry to secure the future of her sisters and to fulfill her vow to her father. They obviously hit it off but wont tell each other their big "secret". His secret is that he gets fevers and hers is that she's a triplet!

It was all ridiculous! The big shocker is that she is a ref head with green eyes! People are suspicious of them and instead of the Duke saying 'F this' and telling people the truth that she's a red-headed triplet, he covers it up! Emphasizing that yes, this concept of red heads and triplets are scary so lets not talk about it.

Both characters were frustrating and there was little I liked about it. I'm sorry to say I won't be reading any more from this author.

Thank you #NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest (obviously) opinion.

Loved reading the entertaining and engaging romance story. When Edwina receives a letter proposal from the Duke of Stonerick, Rick, her and her aunt go to the Duke's house to find out if it's true. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting love story. Can't wait to read the next story in the series by the amazing author, Amelia Grey.

Rick, a duke, starts having fever spells and decides it is time to marry and get an heir. He randomly picks a name from a list his mother has compiled for him. He then jokingly writes a note to the person asking her to marry him. The note gets mailed by accident and Edwina shows up at his front door, fresh from the country. When confronted with his letter, Rick decides to honor the marriage proposal. He also decides to help marry off her two sisters. As they become more attracted to each other they must learn to trust each other with their secrets. I received an ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for my honest review.

This is a lovely story with wonderful characters. The Duke of Stonerick needs to get married and makes an impetuous pick. Miss Edwina Fine receives the unusual proposal and decides to accept. From here on out the plot becomes exciting as they get to know everything about each other. The dialogue between two headstrong characters often becomes heated as they challenge each other. It makes for a page turning story that is well worth reading.

This was a charming, sweet, and funny Regency romance.

Rick, who is a Duke, needs an heir to his legacy and fast. Having always been avoiding marriage, he aims to accomplish this fast and efficiently. He randomly selects a name off a list of names of eligible young ladies making their debut into society and thus writes his proposal to Edwina Fine.

Edwina is one of three triplets, and she has sworn to her late father that she’ll do everything in her power to get all three sisters married by the end of the season. Having dealt with superstition all of her life around the circumstances of their birth, Edwina knows this will be a difficult task. When she receives a letter from the Duke asking for her hand, she naturally shows up on his doorstep to see if it is a genuine proposal.

I really liked the premise of having triplet sisters and how that could result in society shunning/judging them. This greatly influenced Edwina’s motivations in the novel and kept the plot moving briskly.

I personally would’ve liked to seen more spice (it’s mostly fade to black) but I know that isn’t for everyone.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and wouldn’t mind reading the rest of the series.

Sincerely, The Duke by Amelia Gray is a Regency Romance featuring a young woman who is a triplet and a man with a chronic infection. The Duke of Stonerick is in need of a wife and an heir and, on a whim, he picks a random young woman from a list and writes a letter asking her to marry him. He thinks he throws the letter in the fire, only for the young woman, Edwina Fine, to show up at his home and demand to know if he is serious.

This Romance falls under the InstaLove trope, which can feel forced, but I liked how this one was set up (Rick needing an heir and Edwina needing to find a husband by the end of the season). It felt realistic that they would go through the marriage just based on their initial attraction because it suited both of their interests. The two do marry very quickly so they can get started on providing Rick an heir , which serves Edwina’s goal of finding husbands for her two sisters.

My favorite part was when Edwina’s sisters met Rick and they proceeded to attack him because he was about to kiss their sister. Rick handled it well and it’s always nice to see women defending each other.

I would recommend this to fans of Regency Romance who like marriages of convenience

This was a pleasant regency romance. I love the mystery behind Edwina and her triplet sisters and no one finding out. This story did take me quite a bit to get into but I ended up really enjoying the relationship between Edwina and the Duke. Both of these two have secrets and in between finding her sisters matches they find what they needed in each other. I did end up liking Rick a bit more than Edwina. Rick turned out to be patient and kind and a very likable character where is Edwina had moments I think she focused too hard on being a triplet and her dads wishes and wish we got to know just more about her. I do feel if sometimes that was her entire personality. But overall I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next story

Delightful romp! I adore the way Grey leads the characters through the complicated dance of yes/no/maybe/let's do this whole dance again. That's the kind of tension I prefer. Well written! And? Really well researched. I don't think I caught any anachronisms.

Grey takes a very offhand interaction between mother and son that turns into a not-quite-arranged marriage. The dark secret of the heroine is unusual! There is a delicate balance between an outright lie and the misdirected truth.

Can't wait for the next one. And? I liked that one romance that could have been another book was resolved in this book. Thank you!

A mail orderish bride, will it work out?

Hero: Rick, Duke of Stonerick, 30, being pressured by his mother to marry. He suffers debilitating fevers. His over protective life has made him harsh, rude and arrogant.

Heroine: Edwina Fine, youngest of triplets. A little too stubborn and too strong-willed.

He sends her a letter asking her to marry him by mistake, she shows up. There is instant attraction, but she stipulates that he has to find matches for her sister's. They get married, but are keeping secrets from each other.
Finally through a series of events, where trust is broken and rebuilt, Rick and Edwina work through their issues for a hea.

This book was okay. Edwinas supposed confidence, comes across as shrewish. She is bent of shoving her opinions down everyone throat which was very annoying.

Rick, is curt and abrupt but takes care of Edwina and her family every step of the way.. All he asks for her is her trust, but again the whole strong willed Edwina comes across as a petulant child not getting her way

The side character with the whole superstitious nonsense did not resonate with me.

I have read and liked Amelia Grey in the past but “Sincerely, The Duke” was a miss for me. I couldn’t connect with either of the main characters, and especially did not care for Rick, who even in the epilogue doesn’t seem fully present, not least in the father role. Edwina and Rick are so focused on appearances and keeping up with societal expectations that the book felt dry to me. Which was even more disappointing as a redhead with green eyes myself.

Just barely 2 stars. I know Grey can do better so this book would not deter me from trying others. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

I found this book quite enjoyable overall, although there were moments when the pace felt a bit slow. Both characters grappled with trust issues and harbored significant secrets, leading to occasional miscommunications. Edwina's intense focus and assertiveness stood out, and the mysterious illness added an intriguing layer of suspense. The recurring theme of triplets, red hair, and green eyes felt a tad excessive, but despite that, the book maintained a solid quality with likable chapters.

Sincerely, the Duke is the first book I read in the series but I will definitely go back and read the first. I really enjoyed Rick as an MMC. He surprised me as I thought he was going to be this arrogant playboy but he was wonderfully kind and patient to Edwina and her sisters from the start.

Edwina, the FMC, is a bit harder to like. She has some serious daddy issues that get a bit annoying. I get why she is so nervous about being thought of as different based on her being a triplet in a time when they did not have many cases of that occurring but she let it dictate all her actions and it got a bit frustrating at times.

A letter from Rick is accidentally sent to Edwina asking her to marry him. She comes to London to meet him and ask him about the letter. He likes what he sees and needs an heir so he decides to go through with his proposal. Edwina also liking what she sees accepts seeing as it gets her one step closer to fulfilling a promise to her late father. Chaos ensues when the sisters come, Rick’s mom unleashed her superstitious self on the wedding and Rick has to find husbands for the unwilling sisters. It’s a great premise and the writing was overall well done. An enjoyable not quite closed door somewhat steamy book with lots of pining.

Sincerely, The Duke is the second novel in the historical romance Say I Do trilogy about dukes needing to wed to tap into their wealth by New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey. I was lukewarm about the first book, in the series but love Amelia Grey and was still interested in the second book and characters introduced in first book. I was pleasantly surprised! I loved this book and the premise. I was intrigued from the beginning. The Duke was not in need of a wife to gain his money, but due to an unknown recurring illness he knew he needed to marry and produce an heir. He picked Edwina’s name from a list his mother had and sent a marriage proposal to her. When she showed up, he didn’t remember doing it… but it works out for him and for her even though she keeps secret the fact she is one of a set of triplets and he hides the fact he has this reoccurring illness. They are perfect for each other though and it was a fun, quick read. I liked both these main characters and their story. An enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed the journey that Edwina and Rick went on together. Learning to trust is a hard thing to do when life has had given you reasons not to and they learned together.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I almost gave up but slogged through and finished. The characters came off as unlikeable. Rick is a typical Duke, handsome but not much else. He shoots, races horses and takes care of estate business, not much of a romantic hero. Edwina is a petulant child and he followed his attraction and married her before he knew her a week. She's been educated but has no idea how to interact with people, even her own family. A bully of sorts she spends the entire book trying to impose her will, and her fathers dying wish, on everyone around her. It was tedious.
