Publisher Description
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.
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 is: 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?

Fun and Surprises
He is dealing with a recurring fever her can’t explain, his mother is terribly superstitious, and his choice for wife is randomly chosen his mother’s list. Roderick, Duke of Stonerick, has had better days. When Edwina Fine receives a letter with a proposal for marriage from the Duke of Stonerick, she is flabbergasted, and goes directly to him (with her aunt) to determine is the proposal is legitimate. Even though he is as surprised as she, Rick likes Edwina, and tells her the proposal is real. They will wed, and Rick will find husbands for her sisters. Both Rick and Edwina have secrets. His is the fever. Hers is that she is one of a set of red-haired, green-eyed triplets. How will each react to the other’s secret? There is chemistry between Rick and Edwina, and the way they attempt to keep everything “convenient,” is charming. Edwina’s sisters are live wires. This story is well-written and entertaining, full of fun and surprises.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.
3.5 stars
This book was ok. No real angst, nothing to pull and hold you in. Just a slow, pleasant and not very interesting story. One of my least favorite of hers. Borderline boring really.
Sincerely the duke
Due to Rick’s illness he needs a wife. Edwina needs a husband before people learn her secret. They couldn’t have found better mates if they tried. But they are holding secrets the other doesn’t know about! Very entertaining story. Loved how they worked stuff out.
