This has to be the most ridiculous plot I have ever read and I have read a lot of books in my time. It was painful to get through and I don't recommend.

This was an entertaining historical with interesting characters.
Rick is a Duke facing health issues and desires a wife, but not really. Edwina is a unique young lady in search of a husband. Fate - and a forgotten letter - bring them together.

The meet-cute and Edwina's sisters are the most engaging parts of this story. The interactions between Rick and Edwina, while interesting, become repetitive. They both are extremely stubborn characters and that wears quickly as neither one ever seems to get the point that they are now a team.
Rick's admiration for Edwina and his desire to "do right" by her redeems things and kept me interested enough to see where things would go.

Ms Grey is an author I've read before and her work fits the light romance, and historical craving that pops up from time to time. I'd be interested to see what happens to the third of Rick's trio of friends who has yet to end his bachelor status.

This was definitely a big miss for me and if I'm truly honest, I have no idea why I did not DNF the book. I somehow kept thinking this would turn over at some point and by the time I realized it would most definitely not, I was 80% in and well, I just didn't want to stop there after all that (like running a marathon and you have to go through those last few miles).

Anyways. Let's get to it. I really enjoyed the premise of this book and found our characters quite interesting at first. But somehow, I feel like I didn't really get to know much more about them throughout my read. It was like the only info about them was that Edwina was a triplet and Rick was battling some sort of malaria (at least I suspected that). And the book went on with that info and that was about it for most of it.

The relationship between Edwina & Rick was one of my least favourite... I read man with red flags all year, but somehow Rick was waving all the wrong red flags for me. I really hated how he treated our FMC and he was so impatient all the time and it made me quite angry. But then, our FMC couldn't trust anyone and instead of talking she just kept hiding things. So really, their relationship made no sense to me. I cannot see how they truly developed feelings while acting like this. They clearly didn't trust one another and always took decisions by themselves, keeping everything a secret, because oh wow secrets are not lies. They never talked about things that mattered except when forced and this whole book was them arguing over and over and over. Talk about something that does not make me dream at all... And it went on until the very very end.

Also, I know that miscommunication is something I hate but let me tell you something I discovered I hate even more... miscommunication in bed. This couple intimate moments just down right made me feel bad... I hated the MMC inner thoughts (could have punched him) and didn't enjoy how they went about it all, because he was clearly frustrated and Edwina felt like she did something wrong and like come on people... Once again, just not for me, it all felt so cringey. And also, I really thought this book would have some spice but other than some awkward kisses and one scene where it is mentioned they actually did it (without more) it was about it. I don't NEED spice in a book, I'm actually complaining when there is too much of it, but I just felt a little misled by the fact that the "doing it" was the biggest part of the plot for quite a while... that's all. Honest mistake.

The side characters felt a little bit like strangers, even the sisters didn't get enough of a part in my opinion. I did not remember this book was actually part of a series until the end and I would not be able to tell who is a main character in that series honestly. Also, I was hoping that the sidestory with the guy that was a good shot (remembering name is sadly not one of my talents) would be more than that. He came in like he had a whole plan and kept appearing and being so suspicious only for us to be informed that he actually married a sister yay. I was honestly rooting for the guy but damn I would have wished that this bit would have taken more importance by the way it was all brought on, ]I kind of expected a plot twist.

The last thing that made me angry was the last argument, while Rick was obviously so feverish and Edwina kept accusing him and arguing and he just left... like we are so close to the end, I would have wished for some communication before we reached that.. but nope.. took her quite some time to also get that he was actually feverish.. So yeah, it's just more things that got me feeling a bit frustrated...

So really, this book was sadly full of disappointments for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my eARC. All opinions are my own.

Edwina receives a letter and takes her one shot at marriage after living in seclusion with her sisters. Rumors of their existence, three sisters with red hair, and all of the superstitions have plagued her family for years.
Rick has written a note to stifle his mother, but somehow it's mailed, and now he has a potential fiancee in his midst. He needs a wife, and she's so very tempting. He has a secret of his own.
The attraction between them is there, but trying to hide all of their secrets, risking everything for love, can they do it? With friends and family at their side, they have support, but they have to get past it all to forge a life together. 
Loved this story! Second in a series, but can be read as a standalone.

I loved the characters and the setup of this book, so much so that it kept me reading late into the night. What got me was the premise that the Duke wrote a marriage proposal and completely forgets about it because it was never supposed to have been sent to Edwina. So, when she shows up to accept, sparks fly.

Sincerely, the Duke is the second book in the Say I Do series, and it can easily be read as a stand alone. This is my favorite book in the series so far!

Rick, the Duke, feels he must get married immediately and try to get an heir because he keeps getting a recurring fever. He's concerned for his health. Edwina is one of triplets and she feels she must get married because she's trying to find husband's for her two sisters. I understand that keeping secrets and deception is a trope. My issue is that the secrets were kept way too long. I just wanted the two mcs to sit down and TALK. Edwina didn't find out about Rick's illness until the end of the book. Maybe if she found out earlier she could've been helping him and supporting him all this time.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

Sincerely, The Duke is an endearing regency romance. One note, written in a sick state, leads to Roderick Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, vowing his marriage intentions to a women unknown. Edwina Fine receives a proposal from a Duke, is this a joke? The invitation to become his wife provides Edwina the perfect opportunity to fulfill her father's dying wish for his three daughters.

The romance develops beautifully as each learns each other, and the patience each exudes is perfect. Their magnetic attraction culminates to a steamy scene celebrating husband and wife. Can't wait for the next installment, and revisiting these sisters.

Amelia Grey continues to be one of my favored authors in the regency genre.

Thank you, St. Martin's Press | St. Martin's Paperbacks

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Yours Truly, The Duke, so when I saw that the second was available I looked forward to diving in, and I may have enjoyed this one even more. As with the first one, it starts off with a marriage of convenience between two people who are virtual strangers, both of whom have reasons for needing to marry. Of course they're attracted to each other from the beginning (this being a romance & all). They get to know each other - but each is harboring a secret from the other and misunderstandings ensue. Again - it's a romance. But the characters were likeable, the storyline involving superstitions of the time was interesting, and it was fun watching these two characters get to know each other and gradually break down each other's defenses. And now I look forward to the next book in this series, and to exploring other books by Amelia Grey.
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a digital copy for an unbiased review.

This was so good! Im a sucker for romances where the heroine shows up unexpectedly. Usually the hero has something to hide and this was no exception. It was also fun that she was a triplet. You dont get many twins/triplets in romance. This one was witty, romantic, fun but heartwarming all wrapped up together. Highly recommend! Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for approving me to read and review this ARC. I cant wait to read more from this author.

If you’re looking for a regency romance to hold you over until Bridgerton S3, then look no further than Amelia Grey’s new novel Sincerely, The Duke which comes out tomorrow!

While I really enjoyed this book, it wasn’t my favorite historical romance book. I think I just loved the first book in this series (YOURS TRULY, THE DUKE) so much that I had too high of hopes for this one… But regardless, I still loved Rick and Edwina and how their romance blossomed!

I think there were a lot of plotlines that got mixed up and while they all pretty much get resolved, I think I would’ve preferred less plotlines and had that added depth rather than too many surface level plots.

That being said, I did learn a lot about superstitions from the regency era while reading this story that I hadn’t heard of before so that was an interesting detail added in that made this novel stand out.

While I liked the first book in this series better, I still recommend this book to regency romance lovers and am definitely excited to read the new book in this series whenever it comes out!

*I received an ARC from St. Martin’s Press in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am always on the lookout for unique and original ideas when it comes to historical romance novels. That’s why I was immediately intrigued when I came across a book featuring green-eyed, red-haired triplets and a mysterious fever. This book is about Roderick Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, who has done something under duress that has changed his life forever. His impulsive choice to select his new bride from a list of young women he’s never met is priceless and adds an extra layer of excitement to the story.

What I love about Roderick is his sexy confidence and blunt talk. It’s so refreshing to see an MMC who isn’t afraid to speak his mind and go after what he wants. His slow wooing of his new bride is also quite charming, and I found myself rooting for him throughout the book. But what really won me over was his unerring protection of Edwina’s family. Despite all the challenges he faces including his strange illness, he never wavers in his commitment to keeping her loved ones safe.

Miss Edwina Fine is a force to be reckoned with. She’s smart, strong-willed, and fiercely loyal to her family. I admired her vow to honor her father’s request, even though it meant sacrificing her own happiness. Her love for her sisters is faultless, and my heart broke over their isolation due to superstitions. But what I loved most about Edwina was how she put the Duke in his place. Their banter is both seductive and funny, and it’s clear they challenge each other at every turn.

I found myself laughing at the scenes where Roderick is introduced to living with his loud and stubborn sister-in-laws. It’s clear that the Fine sisters are all outspoken, not just Edwina. It was satisfying watching Roderick and Edwina learn to trust each and admit their flaws as they grew closer.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance novels. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging.

Thank you to Ms. Grey for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

Title: Sincerely, The Duke
Author: Amelia Grey
Genre: Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

Miss Edwina Fine has one shot at finding a husband before the ton learns her secret. With red hair, green eyes and being one of triplets, she knows the superstitions and rumors about women like her. So when a marriage proposal from the Duke of Stonerick arrives by mail, Edwina jumps at the chance to solve her problems. But nothing could prepare her for the attraction that sparks between them when they finally meet. It will take more than Edwina’s wit to navigate her past, reservations about marriage and the passion that ignites within her for the irresistible duke.

Rick, Duke of Stonerick, enjoys his life exactly as it honing his expert marksmanship, playing cards and fencing with his friends. He even enjoys exchanging affectionate humor with his mother about his lack of matrimonial engagement. But when a recurring illness reminds Rick he has no heir, he picks a name from the list of prospects his mother presents and writes a simple marriage proposal. Then he forgets about it—until that very lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery shows up at his doorstep, ready to accept. Edwina tempts him like no other and suddenly, marriage doesn’t seem much of an inconvenience after all. But will keeping his illness a secret cost him her love?

I could not get on board with Edwina being so afraid to tell anyone she was a (red-haired, green-eyed) triplet—although I know the superstitions that existed around this. It just felt so trivial to me it was hard to keep myself anchored in the time and place of the setting. This was a me problem, not a problem with the book.

I liked Edwina and Rick both and enjoyed seeing their relationship grow. I found the secondary characters to be just as fascinating as the primary, and this was a solid romance read.

Amelia Grey is from Florida. Sincerely, The Duke is her newest novel.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Sincerely, The Duke by Amelia Grey from the publisher via NetGalley.

I enjoyed the opening to this story and the circumstances by which Roderick Cosworth, Duke of Stonerick found himself betrothed. Once we got to the meet cute, the pace slows down some as we get into the thoughts of the characters. I thought the addition of the superstitious elements as it related to the heroine, Edwina Fine, was interesting.

If you like reading slower paced historical romances, you will enjoy this story.

Edwina Fine promised her father that she would take care of her sisters on his deathbed. She doesn’t hold out much hope because she has red hair and green eyes. People are very superstitious of her and her sisters. A marriage proposal arrives by mail from the Duke of Stonerick, who has picked her name from a list his mother provided and promptly forgotten about, and she jumps at the chance. All her problems will be solved. Rick, the Duke, has been concealing an illness that prompted him to write the proposal in the first place. The attraction is mutual but will his secret cost them a chance at love? Great banter between the main characters. Highly recommend this marriage of convenience to love story.

I enjoyed reading Sincerely, The Duke. The story of Rick and Edwina was entertaining and kept my interest the whole story. I do like that there was no 3rd person drama and that the hero/heroine were able to settle their differences while talking about it. The story was a great read, thank you for the advanced copy!

Regency romances are one of my favorite genres to read. So, when I get an invite to review, and it is a Regency romance, I automatically accept. And that was the case with Sincerely, The Duke. I was so excited to read it; this book did not disappoint.

The main storyline of Sincerely, The Duke centers around Roderick and Edwina, their romance, and Edwina’s secrets. I found this to be a well-written storyline that was easy to read. It also intrigued me with the folklore and superstitions that were introduced about triplets and redheads.

I liked Roderick, but I found him a little blind when it came to Edwina and her sisters. I was yelling at the book (when her sisters arrived for Roderick and Edwina’s wedding) when he did a double take when seeing them together. His surprise when he found out they were identical triplets did make me laugh. His illness was a significant part of this book. While the author didn’t come out and say what his illness was in the book (and for the record, I guessed it early on), she did address it afterward.

I loved Edwina. She was the youngest of the Fine triplets, and she took keeping their secret very seriously. I didn’t understand why she needed to marry first when she was introduced. But the author explained, and I got it. She was the more dependable of the three and needed to take care of her sisters. Her father had hammered it into her to protect the secret, and I understood why she was so hesitant to tell Roderick.

The romance angle of Sincerely, The Duke was sweet but had a little spice. I did get a laugh over who gave Edwina the sex talk. That led to one of the more humorous wedding night scenes I have read. And Roderick, bless him, did the right thing by not pushing Edwina.

The end of Sincerely, The Duke was sweet and what I thought it would be. I loved the epilogue. I liked seeing Edwina and Roderick five years into the future. I cannot wait to see what book three will be about. Since there are two more Fine sisters, the next book will feature one of them.

Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press, St. Martin’s Paperbacks, NetGalley, and Amelia Grey for allowing me to read and review this ARC of Sincerely, The Duke. All opinions stated in this review are mine.

I definitely enjoyed this book more compared to book 1 of this series. I found the male character better in so many different ways because he didn’t come off as misogynistic or a dick in this book. I’ve been getting into regency based stories more and more, and books like these really deepen the love for regency romances.
The story revolves around Rick, the Duke of Stonerick who is pressured to marry an Edwina who needs to find a husband because of her secret. She's a triplet. Rick randomly picks a name off of a list and ends up with Edwina as a wife. I loved the way the sudden marriage proposal was executed and felt their romance blossomed beautifully. I was desperate to witness these characters end up with each other. There were moments where the miscommunication trope was used and in the end both characters ended up figuring the issues out properly. The only issue I had with this story was the rushed conclusion and what happened with Elleonora? Could we possibly be getting a book the other triplets, I do hope so!
Thank you to St. Martins Press and Netgalley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in the series about 3 boyhood friends, all now Dukes. The first book was about Wyatt, the Duke of Wyatthaven, who needed to marry quickly, had his solicitor find a suitable bride who needed a husband for protection and sends her a short worded marriage proposal. It ended up a love match. Now Roderick (Rick) Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, finds himself in a similar predicament. He is suffering from an illness, severe fever and chills, which sounds to me like malaria, but how he would get it in London was never made clear. He needs a heir, so puts his finger on a list provided by his mother and sends a short note (Dear Miss Edwina Fine, Will you marry me? Sincerely, the Duke) much as Wyatt had done. Edwina is in need of a husband. She promised her father on his deathbed, that she would see her sisters and herself married by the end of the season. She is beautiful and witty, but secretly one of three green eyed, redhead triplets, who have been hidden away from society, because of foolish superstition and that their mother had died, shortly after their birth. Edwina comes to his home to verify that it was a true proposal and not a prank. She accepts with one condition, Rick must find husbands for her sisters, not so easy, since neither wants to marry. There is mutual attraction from when their eyes first meet, but they are both keeping secret from the other, because they both learned at a young age not to trust.

I have enjoyed ever book that I have read from Amelia Grey, and this series doesn't disappoint. I am eager to read Hurst's story next, since he was the only one of the friends that had been eager to marry. There are lovely detailed descriptions about the setting, wonderful, likable characters with definite personalities, lively banter and an interesting plot.

I read a gifted advanced readers copy provided by NetGalley.com This is my honest, unbiased and voluntary review.

The Duke of Stonerick is far from emotionally ready to be married, but circumstances with his health and the need for an heir to his title have progressed to the point that finding a bride is a necessity. In a feverish haze, he picks a name off a list of susceptible brides his mother has made and writes an impromptu proposal. As a result, Miss Edwina Fine shows up on his doorstep with this letter, asking if he truly means the offer. Stonerick finds himself compelled to say yes to this beautiful and courageous woman, who has her own pressing motivations to marry, including a deathbed promise to see her two fellow sisters (making them triplets which are considered unlucky) safely wed. Can this marriage of mutual convenience lead to an authentic love?

Sincerely, The Duke is a page-turning and at times, laugh out loud Regency historical romance that will give readers what they want. Rick is so likable, despite his reputation from being standoffish. Grey shows wonderful progression in his characterization as the story unfolds and past traumas are explored. Rick exhibits so much respect and caring for Edwina, and his falling in love with her is extremely believable. Edwina is written as a complex character, both sweet and kind-natured, but also determined and fierce in protecting her sisters. The secrets between them are dealt with beautifully, showing how strong the emotional bond between the leads grows over the course of the book. Rick and Edwina have excellent chemistry described through sensual kisses and caresses, although this book is on the sweet side and not at all spicy. Readers looking for a diverting Regency historical romance with endearing leads and excellent resolution of internal conflicts that avoids unpleasant narrative clichés will appreciate Sincerely, The Duke.

Amelia Grey writes a love story between two strong characters who both have a need to be married -- but their marriage of convenience is hardly what they expect. The Duke of Stonerick and Edwina Fine are less than honest at the beginning of this unconventional partnership, but the unpeeling of their secrets and strengthening of their partnership is what makes this story so engrossing. From convenience to love is a tale worth savoring, and this couple deserves their HEA (I receive an advance reader copy from NetGalley. Opinions mine).
