Really enjoyed this historical romance. It was interesting for Edwina to be a triplet and how this was not common during this time period. Also them having red hair and green eyes being thought of as not ideal was crazy. Edwina is a plucky heroine with a lot of grit and spunk. She is determined to go through with her oath to her father and see that she and her sisters are married by the end of the Season and accepted by society. She gets an unexpected chance when she receives a marriage proposal from the Duke of Stonerick. She goes to his house to make sure the proposal is real and the rest of their story is well worth the read. Highly recommend this one!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for advanced copy, and I give my review freely

Another great book in the “Say I Do” series. This book centers on Roderick, the Duke of Stonerick, who has been experiencing recent ill moments that have him caving to the long-standing demands of his mother to marry ( although I’m sure she never expected him to choose a bride in such a way). After receiving the strangest marriage request by someone she’s never met, and a Duke no less, Edwina decides to take matters in her own hands to verify the truth of the situation. Their initial meet is not quite what either expected, but their attraction to each other is almost instantaneous and not wholly due to appearance. Unfortunately, both are keeping secrets which could have this romance fizzling before in starts. This is a nice, sweet, historical romance with plenty of humor thrown in ( I can’t decide if my favorite anecdote is the dowager duchess’s reading selection or the advice from the maid for Edwina). For those who’ve read book one (which is not necessary to enjoy this book but I do recommend), you’ll be happy to note there are many familiar characters. I consider this to be a soft romance with plenty of attraction between the leads but more funny moments that steamy bedroom scenes, and with many lovable characters, not limited to the main two. My only complaint is that the end seemed a bit rushed, although the epilogue was great. Thank you to the author, St Martin’s publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. All thoughts are my own. 4.5 stars

Edwina and Rick married under unusual circumstances. And they continue to hide something from each other, regardless of their growing love for one another. The secondary characters are also important to the story. I found the book to be just so so.

This was a cute and funny book by one of my favorite authors. Ms Grey has written a hit with this one. Even though it's part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone. The characters are fully developed with thoughts and feelings of their own. I really enjoyed this witty and sensual book. It had me at first chapter and never let go.
Rick, the Duke of Stonerick, is a man who likes his life which includes his friends and doing manly things. But his mama is haranguing him to pick a bride so he picks one. He then forgets about it until one day a woman arrives with a letter accepting his proposal.
Edwina Fine is a woman who will go to great lengths to honor her father's dying wish. She wants to do the right thing so her family can be secure in their futures. She is one of the triplets, but doesn't tell the Duke right away.
Rick and Edwina start a marriage of convenience, they learn how to accept each other without issues of the past. Their attraction between these two is real and turns to love that was meant to be.
I appreciate Net Galley for this ARC title in which I gave an honest review.

Absolutely loved this story! It is entertaining, engaging, well written, witty, and a heart warming romance!

There is so much going on in this story that I adored, the secrets and the superstitions regarding these three sisters were just so cleverly done that it kept a smile on my face. The wedding night information that the heroine received from her chamber maid was definitely entertaining as well.

But mostly it is the main characters that kept me glued to the pages. My heart would take flight each time these two were in a scene together. Their bantering so charming and their allure for one another breathtaking. I was pulled in immediately and never wanted it to end.

This is Rick, Duke of Stonerick and Miss Edwina Fine’s journey and I loved every moment of it. If you are a fan of historical romance then this is the book for you!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Red headed triplets! Shall the ton be shocked?

An interesting plot. Three sisters, triplets, all with red hair and green eyes. The eldest, Edwin, had promised her dying her father to have her sisters introduced to society and married.
Meanwhile up in London, Roderick Cosworth, the Duke of Stonerick, (Rick to his friends) promises his mother to finally marry and beget an heir. He chooses a name from his mother’s list of eligible parties. Yes, one Edwina Fine. The duke who’s nearly insensible with a fever on this occasion totters off and forgets all about that decision.
That is, until his peace and quiet is shattered by a disturbance in the entryway between a feisty red headed lady and his butler.
It’s his intended Fiona, paying a call to see if the offer is a hoax or true.
Rick as you can imagine has forgotten all about what happened with his mother. What with having been struck down by this mysterious recurring fever for a time. Looking at the note Edwina produces he recognizes his writing, and after some thought, declares it’s all above board.
Edwina informs him of her stipulations for the marriage. She wants her two sisters to attend the coming London season. She neglects to say they are triplets. (Due to fears about superstitions and rumours that infect society’s thinking)
The Dowager Duchess has been reading about the veracity of superstitions (all very negative) at her ladies meeting. She’s perturbed enough about the red hair and green eyes. Triplets might be a step too far. That point is not mentioned.
It just seemed to me that what might have been an intriguing plot was sidetracked by inanities, Edwina’s over bearing stubbornness, and a disappointing chemistry between the two main characters. The zing just wasn’t there.
I actually like the Duke better than Edwina. I appreciated how he handled her sister Eileen, even though he was suffering the dratted fever that persisted, and Edwina thought he’d drunk too much brandy. I shake my head!!
Still Edwina and Rick resolve the challenges between them and move on to have their HEA.

Rick, Duke of Stonerick needs an heir. When his mother presents him with a list of viable women that will be new to the season. He drunkenly chooses one and writes a proposal. He is more than surprised when Miss Edwina Fine arrives at his home the following week to accept his offer. She has some conditions of her own, including helping her two sisters find husbands. Rick feels up to the job. Turns out they are triplets, which causes concern for the superstitious.

First, I want to commend St. Martin’s books for the beautiful cover. This is the second in the Say I Do series, and both times it was the covers that caught my attention. The story is perfectly fine for a historical romance. Some of the humor comes from her being very naive. She takes advice from the maid for the wedding night to lay there and endure. The idea of the rarity of triplets is interesting. And I like the appearance of the previous couple in the series as friends of the Duke. But after two books by Grey I think her writing style is not for me. I prefer stronger heroines and more descriptive, less flowery wording in intimate situations. Also the Duke is already forgettable as nothing unique stands out to me about him. Grey is an established author so I think this is a personal preference issue and shouldn’t keep others from enjoying her books and writing style.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I love Edwina’s strong personality and love for her family. Rick’s gruffness paired with his loving ability to care for his friends and family is a great juxtaposition. I enjoyed the premise of them both needing a spouse for their own reasons, fate brining them together, and trust being an issue to overcome. Plus, the superstition about triplets and women with red hair and green eyes were a fun touch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Edwina and Rick fall in love, the cast of characters surrounding them with their own quirks and desires, and the foray of the Fine sisters entering London society. A lovely read—my first from the author—definitely want to go back and read the first in the series and more!

Miss Edwina Fine is desperate to hide her secret but still find a husband, so when she gets a letter proposing marriage from the Duke of Stonerick, she immediately accepts. Will his illness cause her to leave? Will her secret cause him to leave? I loved finding out while reading. Edwina is a strong woman, regardless have having red hair, green eyes and being a triplet. It's amusing the things people believed back in the day. She is determined to honor her fathers last wishes and make sure they are married, maybe we'll find out if they find someone in the next book? Great read and I can't wait to see who gets the next story.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher.

They each have a reason to wed....

A marriage between two people who never met. Rick, a privileged duke who is used to people bowing and scraping and doing exactly what he wants, has decided to finally wed. He makes two of his best decisions when he is feverish and under the influence of brandy. The first? He picks a name off his mama's list of debs because he is feverish with a malady we all recognize today, but he doesn't know what it is. At thirty, its time to produce an heir and stop dallying with his numerous mistresses, actresses and opera singers. Its a wonder he isn't suffering from an STI/STD. It is also a transactional relationship where he holds all the money and power. These women are pretty much prostitutes or don't have the means to refuse. Anyway, he scribbles a proposal to a Miss Edwina Fine, sight unseen.

Enter Edwina Fine. She, too needs to wed, post haste. She has a secret. Well, two really. She is one of triplets. There is much conjecture around triplets in that time frame. She also is militant about keeping an oath to her father to see her two sisters wed. I really did like the triplet angle. That was fresh. For the most part, I liked Edwina. She had back bone.

This was a fun entry into the crowded Regency duke must marry genre. The main characters both had some flaws that added character depth. I would have liked to know more about the side character's stories, but I assume that is coming in future books in the series. Also, I could have wished the lone steamy scene to be a little steamier after so much building towards it, but it's probably just right for some readers.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

**Thank you to Amelia Grey, St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for sending me an ARC of Sincerely, The Duke in exchange for an honest review!!**
I loved this book!! Honestly, Historical romances are a really hard area to nail and this book was perfect. There was just the right amount of explanation needed for context in the historical era. I really enjoyed the relationship between Rick and Edwina. Her reactions and fears are totally understandable when it comes to the naivete that she would have as a woman during that time period. I also really loved her sisters and hope there may be another book about at least one of her sisters! I enjoyed Rick mainly because of his no-nonsense attitude and I think others will enjoy him as well. I really liked the reasoning behind Rick getting her sisters to come to town and I liked the kind of slapstick feel this book had. I have already read the book before this in the series and I also really enjoyed that novel. I highly recommend this series and look forward to reading more books by this author!!

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for access to this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

Okay, I have been stalking NETGALLEY all year since reading Book 1 of this series. Yours Truly, The Duke was a 5-star read for me in 2023 and I couldn't wait to dive back into the series. I loved Sincerely, The Duke and read it in one sitting but the last few chapters rushed too fast to a conclusion.

It is 1820 and another Season is upon the London ton. Bowing under pressure from a well-intentioned mother, Rick, Duke of Stonerick chooses a random name from the list of potential brides and pens a ridiculous marriage proposal. With no intention of actually mailing the letter, Rick quickly forgets about it and moves on. Except that the letter is mailed and finds Miss Edwina Fine and her aunt rushing to meet the Duke. Instant attraction is clear when these two protagonists meet but Edwina has a proposal of her own. She will only accept the Duke of Stonerick's proposal if he also promises to find husbands for her two unwed sisters. Little does the Duke know that his young bride hasn't told him everything. Will scandal mark the season?


This was a fun read. I was glad to see some of the familiar characters from book 1 return as well as meeting a whole new cast of characters. Every scene with Edwina and Rick was my favorite and I enjoyed how their marriage of convenience blossomed into a passionate romance. One of my quibbles is that I loved both of her sisters and would have loved them each to have their book. Maybe in the future?

If you are looking for a new romance series, I would 1000% recommend this one( Say I Do)

#SincerelyTheDuke #NetGalley.

In the first book in the series the letter is never sent, in this book the letter is sent by accident (and I'm still not completely convinced that Rick's mother didn't send it herself). It is clear from the beginning that Rick and Edwina are perfectly suited for one another - their banter is great and they challenge one another in the best ways. I completely understood Rick's frustration with Edwina regarding getting her sister's married and his anger toward her father for putting that on her shoulders. And honestly, what kind of father tells his child they owe their life to him because others thought she should have been left to die - the only reason for it would be to make that child feel they couldn't possibly ever question or say no to him. I would have liked to have learned a little more about her sisters because they seemed like a lot of fun as well. At times I was frustrated with Edwina for not being completely truthful about her sisters but then I would remember that her father basically raised them all to keep it a secret or risk being looked at as freaks and persecuted. Again, this guy was not father-of-the-year material. And considering she had only known Rick for a few weeks (at most) it made sense as to why she might be completely forthcoming about it. Of course Rick was also keeping a pretty big secret from her - which I was glad she called him out on when he tried to make her seem as though she was the bad guy in the situation. His illness is explained by the author as a note at the end, but I would have liked to have been given some idea of how he contracted it in the first place. Overall, this was a really enjoyable novel that left me wanting to know what was going to happen next in the series.

The Duke of Stonerick is being pressured by her mother to take a wife and makes the haste decision of writing a proposal to an unknown young woman about to make her debut. At the same time, the recipient of said proposal is in desperate need to marry and when the offer arrives she just needs to ensure it’s not a prank to then move forward with the marriage.
Of course, nothing is as easy as it seems and a battle of wills, stipulations and a few secrets will turn this story into a very entertaining read.
I found this a refreshing read, with very strong characters that made every step of their journey compelling and funny. Despite their instant attraction, Rick and Edwina’s love comes slowly and gives the story a nice flow while they navigate the intricacies of becoming a family and learning each other’s plights and secrets.
I highly recommend this book if you’re a fan of genre and like your reads on the lighter side.

4 stars

Good lord, I don't know that I've ever read a book with a more ridiculous plot, or annoying characters than this one.

A Duke (named Rick) suffers from fevers. He decides since his cousin has married and has a son, he should do the same immediately. And since to him, one woman is as good as any, he picks a woman's name off of a list his mother gave him at random and proposes to her. She accepts with the stipulation that he find husbands for her sisters. Now he doesn't bother to tell her about these fevers (or that they might kill him) and she doesn't tell him that (get ready to gasp and clutch your pearls everyone) she's a TRIPLET (oh the horror). She also has red hair and green eyes so everyone already thinks she's a witch. Her sister's come to London. And apparently everyone in London is so bloody stupid that they see them together, but because one has freckles, one parts her hair differently and they all wear colors that aren't close to one another no one realizes that they are identical.

Until one night, another member of the ton approaches them at a ball talking about an old rumor they heard about triplets being born 20 years ago and inquiring if Edwina and her sisters might be them. The Duke, his superstitious mother, and his friends all immediately come to her defense, but he knows looking at her that it's the truth. So he confronts her when they get home because apparently this information was absolutely crucial and he should have been told this information before they were married. Mind you, not only did he meet her sisters BEFORE they were wed, he also moved them into his house AFTER the wedding so it wasn't like he didn't see them together all of the time. It really wasn't Edwina's fault that her husband was too stupid to put two and two (or in this case three and three) together and figure it out on his own.

Even with that fight, and his insinuations that she didn't trust him, Rick still has not told her about his potentially fatal fevers. He goes so far to protect this secret of his that when he is taken by another one, he runs off to his friends house. She eventually finds him, but doesn't hold it against him that he withheld info from HER prior to marriage because by now she is in love with him.

That was another issue I had with this novel. The fact that they both claimed to love one another, when all we really see them do is kiss, touch, and argue with one another. And sometimes over the dumbest things possible (for example Edwina becomes mad at Rick when he aides her sister Eileen in leaving to pursue her own life and interests, insisting that the promise she made to their dead father was more important than anything Eileen might want for herself).

Sadly, this is not the first time I have read this author and just not enjoyed the story. I don't think I will continue to read any more of their works in the future. However, that doesn't mean that I don't think other people won't enjoy this story (as well as her others). They just aren't for me.

DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not affected my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.

I have been provided with a review copy of this title from NetGalley for an impartial review. This book was just so easy to get lost in. I completely got lost in the story and I just loved getting to see these new characters come together. I just absolutely love this story and I just didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

Sincerely, The Duke is the second book in the Say I Do series,

AS with all Dukes it seems to be the only job that they have is to produce an heir. This story is no different Rick is a grumpy man who is ill, and we do not know why. The whole time I was reading this I thought he was a grumpy old man. But he is not, His mother is all over him to marry and get her with child. His mother is all over him to get the job done. He sees a list of names and picks one at random. Without meeting her he writes a blunt marriage proposal, and she accepts.


I struggled to read this, but eventually it grew on me. The first book I thought was very good, But the grumpy ill duke was not an engaging character. I wish it had been different, but it was just okay for me.

Hum, there is a lot I could say about this book. The books can be read as standalone but reading the first book gives you history with Rick and his friends. Rick is the Duke of Stonerick and has been since he was five. His mother was overprotective of him. He was taken advantage of by those who should have been trustworthy and so doesn’t like or trust easily. Up to now his life has been great, he is an expect marksman, enjoys time with his two best friends, Wyatt and Hurst. He and his mother have witty banter about his lack of marriage. Then he starts getting ill, which leaves him weak and comes and goes. It is during the onset of one of these spells that he picks a name off a list and writes a proposal to stop his mother from fusing at him. Miss Edwina Fine has one season to find a husband and keep her promise to her late father. She is shocked when she receives a proposal from a Duke in the mail!! Oh, my let the games begin. Both Edwina and Rick have a lot to learn about each other. Both are strong, opinionated smart people. Both are keeping secrets that could ruin their marriage before it gets started. With her sisters, Eleonora and Eileen added to the mix plus her aunt and his two best friends it's a great read. I love that you get to see what the other is thinking and feeling. This is a fast-paced story with many twists and turns. Once you start reading you will not be able to put it down. I received an ARC from the author and wish to thank her. This is my honest opinion and am freely giving it.

Rick is a duke who suffers from both secret debilitating fevers and a meddlesome mother. When his mother presents him a list of debutantes to consider for marriage, he hurriedly pens a quick marriage proposal to a random lady on the list. A few days later, a lady shows up at his doorstep inquiring about the veracity of the proposal, and being the upstanding honorable guy that he is, he decides to follow through with it. Edwina is a take-charge outspoken sort of lady who has made her father a deathbed promise to see herself and her sisters wed this Season, even though they’ve been hidden away in the country. It turns out triplets are thought to be bad luck, so they’ve tried to hide the fact that they’re triplets (even though they look exactly alike). She’s glad to be engaged to the duke but insists that he help her sisters find husbands as well. We get a lot more chaotic when the sisters show up in town (who are highly resistant to marriage) and find that Rick’s mother is very superstitious. I liked seeing Rick become protective of his new wife and family and also see him appreciate Edwina’s unique personality.
