Book Review #yourstrulytheduke #stmartins #netgalley #ameliagrey
I have been meaning to read Amelia Grey for years and what a perfect place to start with her first novel in her new series! Yours Truly, The Duke is the first installment in the Say I Do trilogy which is to focus on Dukes who must wed in order to gain their wealth. Amelia Grey's writing has a blend of lightness and humor which give this marriage of convenience story a charm and creates the perfect moments of banter and growth between the hero and heroine. This story is sweet, has family at its center and a slow burn romance. This romance is fairly low angst and really about the journey of two people entering into a marriage in order to gain something they need. The romantic plot slowly builds as the hero and heroine learn to work together and respect each other especially around the aspects of parenting. I found this to be a nice introduction to Amelia Grey's writing style. If you have never read her before her style feels very similar to Jane Ashford and Ella Quinn to me. Her writing is soft and sweet, the story pacing has a gentle ease that focuses on character development, and the romance has a very low steam level. So if you are looking for a novel with very light steam, a simple romance that focuses on family, this novel is one you should check out.
