Yours Truly, the Duke

The Say I Do Series, Book 1

De: Amelia Grey

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Yours Truly, The Duke is the first 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.

Fredericka Hale needs a husband, and fast. She’s been caring for her deceased sister’s three young children, and now a childless cousin has petitioned the court for custody. Fredericka is powerless to stop her, but having a husband might sway the ruling. The last thing Fredericka wants is a hurried-up marriage to a man she doesn’t know―much less love, but she’ll do it for the children. So when the handsome Duke of Wyatthaven shows up with a proposal, she accepts. He’ll help her, and in return, they’ll lead separate lives. But distance cannot keep them from their powerful attraction.

At the top of his game in London, the Duke of Wyatthaven has no interest in marriage. However, if Wyatt doesn’t marry by week’s end, he’ll lose a sizable inheritance from his grandmother. When Wyatt’s solicitor finds Miss Fredericka Hale, Wyatt considers this little hiccup solved. Miss Hale is lovely, and intelligent. Most importantly, she prefers country life to London, so he’s free to continue his life as usual. But when circumstances force Fredericka and the children to show up at the duke’s door, Wyatt can’t deny he’s always been under her spell. Will the duke give up his bachelor lifestyle and give into the fiery passion growing between them?

Good book that is worth a credit.

I bought Book 2 of this series first because of the bad review someone gave Book 1. After listening to Book 2 a couple of times, I decided to also get Book 1, and I enjoyed it very much. It was an interesting, well-written Regency romance, and worth a credit and at least 4 stars. I totally disagree with the previous reviewe, I've read hundreds of Regency romances over the years, and this is far better than the majority of them. I don't write reviews very often, but want potential readers to take the previous review posted with a grain of salt.

Not Very Good...

This book was not very good. The H/H were both not very likeable. They acted like they did not like one another, as well as sooooo much inner angst that really did not fit with the story. TOO much children, not enough romance. It took until the last hour of the book for anything to really happen. The narrator was pretty good, the narrator was better listening a bit faster.
Not recommended.

Heat Factor - mostly clean (1 scene, and not really vivid description) But the characters had no sizzle between them

Credit Worthy - NO
