Sincerely the Duke by Amelia Grey

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


I enjoyed Rick and Edwina’s story in Sincerely the Duke by Amelia Grey, book two in the Say I Do series, a charming and entertaining marriage of convenience. Each chapter begins with a tidbit from The Art of Being a Fine Gentleman by Sir Dudley Samson Pemberton Fine, the father of the heroine; which is a nice touch.

 

Roderick, Rick, Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, while feeling the beginning effects of a fever, succumbs to his mother’s demand that he marry by running his finger along a list of potential brides given to him by his mother. He fears that not having an heir fast enough before his dilapidating fevers consume him will allow his cousin to inherit the dukedom. Edwina Fine is in shock when she receives a proposal by mail from a Duke. She decides to follow through so she can also fulfill her father's dying wish, finding husbands for her sisters.

 

Rick and Edwina’s marriage might have started as an act of convenience however, as learn about each other's likes and good qualities they not only become friends, but discover a magnetic attraction and chemistry between them. They do keep some secrets hidden that become an obstacle to their romance; he his fevers, while her being the youngest of a set of triplets.

 

Ms. Grey wrote a charming, clever, heartwarming and amusing story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with humorous escapades, superstitions, secrets, amusing banter, magnetic chemistry and endearing characters giving Rick and Edwina a chance to have a true love.  I highly recommend Sincerely the Duke to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
