I think this was fun and quick read. I also think it was unque set up to historical and that does nt happen super often. I loved the fact the main character was ghotic author and also the single father element to the story. I thought this book had both steama and plot and it was really quick listen. I also loved that at the heart of this read was her sister and friendship dynaimcs. I also really enjoyed the romacne in this read and just loved how she told me the story, will def check out book 2!! ( )

THE HERO
Dominic Winters, the Duke of Dartmoor, lost his first wife tragically and mysteriously. Since she died, he has thrown himself into his work and raising his daughter. But Celeste is older now and rebelling against her loneliness and confinement. He has his hands full, but suddenly Artemis stumbles into his life and she brings an energy he hasn’t felt in a long time and he can’t stop thinking about her.

THE HEROINE
Artemis Jones is an independent woman who never plans to get married and has hopes to open a college for women. She is also a secret author of Gothic romance novels! She lost her heart (and her virtue) when she was making her debut and has decided to never get married.

THE PLOT
Artemis comes up with this crazy idea to fake a compromising situation where her aunt discovers them and disowns Artemis and she can finally be left alone in peace. But Dominic has other plans and a fake engagement is born and slowly he chips away at Artemis’s resolve to remain single.
Artemis and Dominic are just to cute together! They have the best flirty banter and are honest with each other (which is a refreshing change), no hidden feelings. This was a pretty dynamic story with many interweaving plot lines…the budding romance between Dominic and Artemis, Artemis’s sisters debut, Dominic’s daughters rebellion, the snooty governess, the evil brother-in-law…as I list them out, I feel like I should be overwhelmed, but it really wasn’t and hopefully it is just great setup for future books in the series!

Up All Night with a Good Duke is the first book in the "Byronic Book Club" series. This is the current series that this author is writing in which is about three women that are friends with each other and help each other in their motivations. I was first introduced to this author when I discovered the second book "Curled Up with an Earl" which is Lucy's book. In this installment we have Artemis and Dominic's story. We got to see them in Lucy's story and I just wanted their book so badly because you could tell how "together" this couple is. I think what I am discovering about this author is how "Utterly Charming" her writing style. There is something about Amy Rose Bennett that just works so well for me here.

Up All Night with a Good Duke is a story about our heroine, Artemis, who while working in a girl's finishing school, is called away by a letter by her friend to help with her navigating the London Season. So Artemis leaves and heads to London but on her journey she bumps into a stranger with whom she has a sizzling connection with and she would later discover that he is the Duke of Dartmoor. Dominic, is a widower and a single father of a teenager and he is at his wits ends in trying to figure out how to handle her. Dominic and Artemis come to a agreement that ends up in a fake marriage of convenience, but soon it becomes apparent that there is much more emotion building between them they just mere sexual attraction ....

Up All Night with a Good Duke was such a superb read and I had so much fun with this one here. I just couldn't seem to get enough of it. I was so endeared by this story. Now while reading this one I was distracted by some other things, so I wasn't fully focused on the story which probably contributed to my 4 star rating, but it was still such a charming read. And the writing style just had me so reminiscent of the classic style of HR. Even though the characters do seem a bit more modern at times, its not overblown at all and the way that they take accountability for their actions and try to communicate honestly and treat each other so decently has such a healthy perspective that is refreshing and I call on HR authors everywhere to follow this author and authors like Elisa Braden. If you are fans of Elisa Braden, I do think that you will really enjoy this one here.

If you are wanting more steam in your historical's then I definitely think this is an author you should look into. The way that she handles steam in her stories are very open and fun and sexy. I was so delighted every time our couple come together. Amy Rose Bennett definitely delivered such a solid romance that was packed with so much heart and smexy times to satisfy any romance reader! ( )
