Rick has no interest whatsoever in being married, but his mother is very, very insistent and he’s been plagued recently by a recurring illness and finally acknowledges to himself that maybe he better go ahead and secure that heir He keeps his illness a secret but does rather cavalierly – and not at all sincerely - dash off a letter that basically says, “Will you marry me? Sincerely, The Duke of Stonerick” and tells his mother she can send it to the woman he random picked off her list of eligible candidates.
Edwina made a promise to her father on his deathbed: she would do whatever it took to ensure she and her two sisters are married before the end of the Season, whether her sisters wish to be married or not. You might think sounds simple or what’s the big deal, but Edwina and her sisters are triplets, with red hair and green eyes – oh no! Bad luck, spells, not welcome in society. After their mother died their father kept them effectively hidden. Edwina takes her promise very seriously, even if the red hair/green eyes thing sounds a bit wacky to us.
Well, wouldn’t you know that Rick’s letter somehow does get mailed – to Edwina – who promptly shows up on his doorstep to accept in person. He did in fact sign his name to that letter so being a gentleman means he needs to honor it. Funny thing (that gets funnier and funnier in this charming story) is that this duke who doesn’t see the point in marriage is immediately smitten with this woman. And Edwina – opinionated but inexperienced and unassuming – is smitten right back.
Rick and Edwina are hilarious together. He’s forceful yet tender, but secretive. She doesn’t “exactly” lie but doesn’t “exactly” tell him she’s a triplet because there are so many superstitious people out there, including his mother, and she really needs this marriage to happen. And wants it, too. They spar and argue, wonder about the undeniable attraction and heat, and are drawn to each other as if in a magnetic field.
Sincerely, The Duke is sweet, steamy, silly and extremely satisfying. Everything you want in an historical romance, everything you’ve come to expect from author Grey, and every bit as good as the first book in the series. I can’t wait for the third book in the trilogy.
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for providing an advance copy of Sincerely, The Duke via NetGalley. I recommend it without hesitation and voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.… (más)
