After reading (and not loving) the first title in this series, I was a little wary about picking this one up but I wanted to try the author’s work again, so when I saw this one available on NetGalley I decided that there was no time like the present to read another novel by the author,  and I’m really glad that I did 🙂

.

I adored this and look forward to reading more by the author.

Description

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.

Miss Edwina Fine has one shot at finding a husband before the ton learns her secret. With red hair, green eyes and being one of triplets, she knows the superstitions and rumors about women like her. So when a marriage proposal from the Duke of Stonerick arrives by mail, Edwina jumps at the chance to solve her problems. But nothing could prepare her for the attraction that sparks between them when they finally meet. It will take more than Edwina’s wit to navigate her past, reservations about marriage and the passion that ignites within her for the irresistible duke.

Rick, Duke of Stonerick, enjoys his life exactly as it is: honing his expert marksmanship, playing cards and fencing with his friends. He even enjoys exchanging affectionate humor with his mother about his lack of matrimonial engagement. But when a recurring illness reminds Rick he has no heir, he picks a name from the list of prospects his mother presents and writes a simple marriage proposal. Then he forgets about it―until that very lady with an iron will and breathtaking bravery shows up at his doorstep, ready to accept. Edwina tempts him like no other and suddenly, marriage doesn’t seem much of an inconvenience after all. But will keeping his illness a secret cost him her love?

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

The third in a series that can be read as a stand-alone we follow Brina as she navigated life after the death of her husband in a seafaring accident years ago. She is a well respected widow that enjoys running her school for girls as well as helping the local nunnery with their charitable works. After a run in with Zane, the new Earl of Blacknight, at a masked ball feelings long thought gone arise. Zane promises to mend his rakish ways in a bet to win her hand in marriage. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I was so hoping that Brina would find her happily ever after as she was so lost and unsure of her place in the world after the loss of her husband. Zane struggles to find his place within his family and in his mew unexpected role as head of the family. Together they help each other overcome obstacles and find solace in each other’s company. What a delightful ending to a wonderful series. #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblog #bookblogger #bookrecommendations #bookdragon #bookwitch #historicalromance #historicalromancenovel #ameliagrey #howtotrainyourearl #netgalley #arc #happilyeverafter https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzaZsyLrHB/?igshid=8ksgq74rt7rf

The Earl Next Door by Amelia Grey

Erica gave the Historical Romance The Earl Next Door by Amelia Grey 4 stars, saying “Adeline and Lyon did seem a bit boring, and I say that in a positive way, even if it doesn't sound like it. It was a more mature take on the mating dance and romance, where they were honest and didn't get in their own way.” Head over to the blog to find out what else she had to say about book 1 in the First Comes Love series.

Kissing Under The Mistletoe - 2021

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an advance reader copy of this story.

Available on 9-28-2021, Kissing Under The Mistletoe is a anthology of short stories for the Christmas season. Three romance writers have each provided a story revolving around love for the best present ever. I enjoyed all three but I will admit that one was my favorite. A plus to these Christmas book is that the story will usually involve secondary or new characters in an existing series. It's fun to catch up on what's going on while being involved in a new romance. I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

She had an acceptable marriage of convenience. Now widowed, can this determined and beautiful mother find true and forever love? - Gone With the Rogue (First Comes Love #2) by Amelia Grey https://bit.ly/3466WCk 

The sinking of the Salty Dove took her husband’s life―but it didn’t drown Julia Fairbright’s courage to endure. She creates a proper life for herself and her young son. But now, the ton’s most notorious rogue is back in London, and how he makes Julia feel is anything but proper. She can’t deny the desires he awakens in her, even though she knows that the handsome devil will surely break her heart. Garrett Stockton owns a successful shipping company and is rumored to have a woman on every continent and half-a-dozen in England. The truth, however, is that Garrett has but one mistress: the wide-open sea. That is, until he meets Julia, whose spirit of independence matches his own. What begins as a flirtatious battle of wits turns far more passionate than either of them could have imagined. Suddenly, Garrett’s only desire is to sail into the sunset with Julia as his wife and young Chatwyn his son. But she won’t take his hand―how can he convince her that his love is real and his heart is hers?   @StMartinsPress @SMPRomance #romance #GoneWithTheRogue #FirstComesLove #AmeliaGrey #lovelyloveday #lovelylovedayblog #historicalromance #books #bookblog #bookblogger #reading #read

From the Scottish highlands, to the bustle and tussle of London, to a hotel on the outskirts of town, three unforgettable authors bring the joy of Christmas romance in Kissing Under the Mistletoe.

Great Scot! by Suzanne Enoch

Miss Jane Bansil knows she will never have a fairy-tale moment. Well past the marriageable age, she’s taken a position as a companion and is now stuck in Scotland for Christmas, alone even in the middle of the boisterous MacTaggert family. But when Brennan Andrews, an architect and cousin to the MacTaggerts, arrives to draw up plans for a new family home, Jane must decide if she will take a chance at a happily-ever-after, or settle into her small, safe life for good.

Christmas at Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey

Miss Isabelle Reed has no plans to ever fall in love. She has a perfectly acceptable life with her mother at the Dewberry Hollow Inn, thank you very much. But when Gate, the Duke of Notsgrave’s grandson, appears at Dewberry Hollow searching for a carving on a tree, Isabelle cannot help but get involved. But Gate’s charm and their instant attraction makes Isabelle question if she’s willing to take her chance at love once again.

My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett

Miss Eva Tiding is determined to cheer her widowed father with the perfect Christmas gift. Even if it means breaking into the home of the rakish Earl of Frostbough who swindled Papa out of his pocket watch. But when the earl, Jack Hardwick, catches her in the act, they strike a deal: she’ll pose as his fiancée in exchange for the watch. Falling in love is not part of the plan—but with a little Christmas magic, anything is possible…

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A delightfully entertaining read, rich with romance, passion, attraction and lush details that truly captures the spirit of the season and the era. From sweet to heartbreakingly real these fantastic stories were honest, heartwarming, captivating storytelling at its best. These authors will have you spellbound from the beginning to the end. Filled with page after page of heart pumping drama and an emotional journey that you will re-read again and again. Every single page was filled with perfection.

Great Scot by Suzanne Enoch

If you were a fan of Wild Wicked Highlanders series and the MacTaggert brothers you do not want to miss what happens when they go back to Scotland for Christmas in this story. A delightful story about Jane Bansil who is Lady Aldriss’s companion. Who at the age of thirty-three is content with the peace and quiet that her position brings, until she meets Brennan Andrews the architect for the MacTaggerts’. These two will make your heart close to…bursting with their attraction and chemistry.

Christmas At Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey

Isabelle Reed is not happy that guests will be coming at Christmas time. Especially the old Duke who was remembered as a thoroughly commanding, obstinate and difficult to please grump. But when she meets his grandson, she has never had a man make her feel the immediate, intense and sensual sensations that spun so easily through her. But John Cabot Gatestone is there to find a tree with a heart carved in it, that his grandfather had carved long ago. Will these find true love? Or will he leave like all the other guests that have come and gone before? Can these two find a love worthy of a carving in a tree? You don’t want to miss this one!

My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett

Eva Tiding is on a secret mission to steal back her father’s watch from the disreputable rogue, Jack Hardwick the Earl of Frostbough. But she didn’t count on being caught red handed in his apartment. When he refuses to hand over the watch he came up with a deal. Spend three evenings as his fiancé when his grandmother came into town and he would give her the watch. But what starts as pretend soon turns into so much more. Filled with delightful, swoon-worthy dates and laughs, this sizzling romance is perfect for cozying up on a cold winter’s night.

Voluntarily requested an early copy and this is my honest review.

Lovely story!! Our young widow is at the mercy of her father in-law as she desperately searches for a way for her and her young son to be free from his harsh clutches. Our hero has been travelling the globe establishing his business and earning his own way in the world. When they meet it’s like fireworks and the chemistry between the two is palpable. They both must work together to overcome their personal demons and free themselves to be together. I loved this story. It was well written and the main characters were witty, charming, strong, and determined. The ending was just what I was looking for and I look forward to seeing what happens to Julia’s friend, Brina, as she deserves happiness. #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendations #bookrecommendation #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblogger #bookblog #book #bookdragon #bookwitch #booklr #booklover #booknerd #netgalley #gonewiththerogue #ameliagrey #historicalromance #historicalromancenovel #historicalromancereaders #historicalromanceauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NKobpgkds/?igshid=iac0nis39pfl

Review:  Gone With The Rogue

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

Gone With The Rogue, by Amelia Grey, will be available at booksellers on 4-28-2020.  Rogue is book 2 in Ms Grey's First Comes Love series.  Although a second series book there are different characters so it's a fine stand-alone story.  There's only a tad bit of reference to the first book and that explains how the three ladies came together, became friends, and entered in an endeavor together.  I read book 1, The Earl Next Door, in May of 2019, so the reminder was nice for me.  I was able to concentrate on this couple without my mind being diverted.  ,

Lady Julia Kitson Fairbright is a young widow with a 4 year old son to worry about and fuss over.  Her father-in-law is a Duke and insist on keeping her under his thumb upon threat of taking away her child.  She's desperate to keep him appeased until she can get away.  She's spunky and not sure of her own strength, it's never been tested.  She has a meet cute moment with Garrett Stockton, that's important to me in my romance stories.  The attraction is so fast and strong that it reminded me of being struck by lightening.  The odds aren't good but it sometimes happens.  Rogue is an interesting study in testing your limits, knowing your self, and finally deciding what you want in life.  Goi.ng after it is the journey.  My con with Rogue is the use of such strange names, some I wasn't sure how to pronounce so I made it up.  That was distracting and I thought unnecessary, although I understand all men are not named Sebastian.
