Yours Truly, The Duke is book one in the Say I Do series by Amelia Grey and I enjoyed this one enough to say that I will probably pick up the next one when it is released.

This book introduces us to Fredericka Hale who realizes in order to keep her dead sister's three children under her care, she needs to marry and marry fast as her cousin is pushing the court to give her custody. When the Duke of Wyatthaven proposes an arrangement she never expected, she can't say know. They agree that he will help her keep the children but they'll lead separate lives.

Wyatt has his own reasons for proposing to Fredericka. In order to get his inheritance, he has to marry within a week. When he finds out he will get to maintain his life as is and she is willing to stay in the country, he's satisfied the problem is solved but when something forces Fredericka and the children to show up on his doorstep, Wyatt realizes he needs to change (and wants to).

I thought Grey did a great job of developing the characters, both individually as well as their relationship together. Of course you have the cousin as a protagonist but as the story progresses, I liked how Grey addressed the relationship of the cousins instead of just defaulting to the "they are a villain to be a villain" purpose.

If you're looking for a new historical romance series, I recommend checking this one out. I'll be picking up the next one.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
