 💖💖💖💖 /5 I enjoyed Wyatt and Fredericka ’s story in Yours Truly, The Duke by Amelia Grey, book one in the Say I Do series, a charming and entertaining marriage of convenience. Each chapter begins with a poem from The Lady’s Book of Flowers and Poetry, a lovely touch which plays a part of story.   Wyatt and Fredericka enter into a marriage of convenience: he, to gain an inheritance, and she to retain custody of her orphaned nieces and nephew, Elise, Charles, and Belle. Watching their feelings for each other grow was a lot of fun, but the growing affection for the children added an extra layer of tenderness and depth to the story.  Fredericka and Wyatt were delightful together as they bickered over misunderstandings and child rearing establishing their slow burn romance. My only complaint was that cousin Jane was not held responsible for her horrible and demeaning actions. Ms. Grey wrote a charming, clever, entertaining and amusing story that is not to be missed...
