This historical romance was a quick and easy read. The characters are likeable, have some banter going on and get into some expected shenanigans due to an arranged marriage. Also, the side characters definitely add some depth and fun to story.

Sincerely the Duke! I think this was my first Amelia Grey, and I really enjoyed it!! Edwina, a triplet, determined and practical! Rick, benefiting from quite a few instances of fate! As they get together, and work toward finding matches for her sister, I enjoyed this lighthearted story, which stands alone well despite being part of a series.

The second book in the "Say I Do" series, this was a pleasant read, but won't stick in my memory. Edwina is a strong-minded, but naive heroine. Rick is a powerful, high-handed and impatient hero. Their chemistry is fairly low watt. The secrets they are keeping from each other are important to each of them, but really didn't move the story forward by much when they are revealed. All in all, an ok read.

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

"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". Edwina and. Rick are meant to be together. In this romance he was the last person who would likely to ask a woman to marry him.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book.

A delightful historical romance that weaves secrets, love, and family dynamics into a captivating tale. This book is a great addition to the series. The plot is a little drawn out but overall a great read.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a good regency romance that I read in one sitting. There were some funny moments and I enjoyed Edwina’s sisters and Rick’s mother.

I thought the story got off to a strong start. To get his mother off his back, Rick, feeling unwell with a debilitating fever, stuck out his finger on the list of prospective brides his mother handed him and wrote a proposal to the women his finger landed on. A few days later Edwina showed up to accept. Red-haired, green-eyed triplets, she and her sisters have always been hidden in the country by their now deceased father. He was trying to protect them from superstitions that red hair and green eyes meant they were cursed or witches, let alone throwing in the fact that no known living triplets existed. They soon married happily. He promised to help find her sisters husbands while she would give him an heir. Rick not telling her of his weakness and fevers, and Edwina omitting that she and her sisters were triplets. The postponed consummation of their wedding made for underwhelming reading. Don't look for spice here. Rick is all that is good and kind, taking in Edwina's sisters and aunt, while Edwina's insistence that she honor her father's wishes and must find her sisters men to marry gets tiresome fast. My interest was dwindling by the end.

Roderick Cosworth, Duke of Stonerick, continues to have episodes of headaches and fevers. Maybe it's time he took a wife, he does need an heir, especially if next time he doesn't recover from his illness. But randomly picking one off a list is a little unusual. Did he really do that? Who mailed the letter with the proposal? Things get a little tense when Edwina Fine shows up at his house and demands to know if his proposal is real or a joke. Intrigued and attracted to the lady, Rick makes his decision and says yes. It's marriage, then courtship and did I mention she has two sisters that need husbands? What a rollercoaster romance! Very entertaining! Kissing and caressing.

This is the second in the series and while better than book 1 it is still a bit of a pablum for readers of historical romance. The story of the triplets and some never heard of societies rejection of red haired triplets is a bit of a stretch and the "vow" that our heroine spends the whole book whining about is nothing more than trying to run her sisters lives and it wears thin after a while and once again the author seems to like something I hate, secrets that would obviously have no real effect on the relationship if told but as usual will be revealed in the worst way just to drive a plot point. I would usually give a book like this a grudging 4 stars but in this case since it seems the author is using a broad outline and filling in new characters and story material, I think 3 Stars is more honest even though I will probably read the next installment just to see where it goes but I did enjoy that for a change we did not have pages and pages of detailed sex that usually adds nothing more than pages that I have to scan since after you read a few hundred of such things I get bored with authors trying to find new ways to see how to insert Tab A into Slot B. So 3 Stars that almost made it to 4

I’m so happy to have read this book. Historical romances are one of my favorites and this is at the top of my list now. The characters and the settings it all just pulled me in and I didn’t want it to end.

Overall, this book was very enjoyable. I really liked the characters and their personality, their chemistry was so good too.

Oh how superstitions impacted how people were viewed on society. Triplets and females with red hair were something to hide or not draw attention to, but seem super silly to worry about now.

Both characters were so blunt in their actions in this book based upontheirown fears or promises. Rick proposed marriage by picking a name from a list and Edwina went along with the proposal to fulfill a promise to her dearly departed father. They could have drug out that decision a lot more, but just went with it. It was nice to see how they grew together, but had some struggles when not sharing secrets (triplets, and a mysterious fever)with eachother.

Maybe a little more angst between our two strong main characters would have helped propel the story more or some more added drama from Edwina's sisters.

Overall I liked the superstitions premise and thought the characters were likeable.

Thank you to St Martin's Press and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

I liked this book; it was original and had interesting characters. The idea of the tons reaction to triplets seemed a little over the top for 1800s London, but who knows. I liked Edwina and Rick, but sometimes I wasn't crazy about the way they treated each other, although I could understand why. I also felt that sometimes they were great together and other times there seemed to be something missing. Overall, enjoyable.

Thank you to St Martin's Press for providing an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed Edwina and Rick's story! Pick a name off a list and marry her...I can't imagine what could go wrong. Such fun watching these two find their HEA!

Rick, the Duke of Stonerick, enjoys his carefree bachelor life until a debilitating illness puts a spotlight on his lack of an heir. Caving in to his mother's nearly constant demands that he marry, Rick takes her list of marriageable debutantes and picks the first name that catches his eye. Edwina Fine. He doesn't care what she looks like, only that she is young enough to bear him a child. He sends her a letter - one sentence, proposing marriage - then promptly forgets about it. Then, the lady shows up on his doorstep insisting that she's there to accept. He never wanted a wife, but this woman's beauty might at least make the creation of his heirs a bearable task.

Edwina is shocked to receive the Duke's letter in the mail. Her only marital aspiration had been to marry the local vicar, or someone of equally lowly birth. Marriage to a duke will put her and by extension, her sisters, in front of the wagging tongues of the ton. However, she did promise her father on his death bed to see that all 3 of his girls would marry, and if she marries, maybe her anti-marriage sisters will see that they can't keep hiding away on their father's estate. Their secret is going to come out. They need to be in control of how that happens.

OK, so I get that this happened in a time where multiple births were an oddity but to call them anything less than a miracle and to make them out to be an "evil omen" does a disservice. Fortunately, Rick is not superstitious but unfortunately, his mother is - very. Edwina realizes early on that if she wants to keep her husband, she can't reveal that she and her sisters are triplets. Yes, they are identical, but different hairstyles, and different clothing preferences, help convince everyone that they are simply sisters, born close in age. Once she's married, she continues the charade but will keeping the secret destroy the closeness developing between her and Rick?

Amelia Grey's stories always have enough humor to go with the heat, that they are fun to read. Sincerely, The Duke, was fun from page one, and really makes me want to read the other two sisters' stories, too.

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!
