Up All Night With a Good Duke
The Byronic Book Club #1
Amy Rose Bennett
Reviewed by Helen
What a fantastic start to a new series from one of my favourite historical romance authors, this book has everything in it, a beautiful sensual romance, wonderful characters, it is witty, sigh worthy and a page turner, Amy Rose Bennett never disappoints me with her stories and this one is sure to please readers in so many ways.
Let’s meet our heroine Artemis Jones, she is a finishing school teacher and she also writes steamy gothic romance novels, she is determined to stay single and is convinced that being twenty nine she is firmly on the shelf which all goes towards her plan to open up her own school for young ladies. Life is just about to change for Artemis when one of her Byronic Book Club friends Lucy desperately needs her help in London which means a London season for Artemis as well.
Our hero is the Dastardly Duke of Dartmoor, Dominic Winters, but is he dastardly, and he needs a wife someone to give him an heir and to help with his fifteen year old daughter Celeste, but with the name he is called and the rumours about him this is not going to be easy, a meeting in the streets in the rain with a beautiful redhead, call it fate maybe but this is about to change his life.
The sparks fly and lust grows as Dominic and Artemis come to terms with an agreement that will help both of them with what they want, throw in a ruined sister and a dangerous threat and Artemis soon realises that she is losing her heart to a man something she never thought she would do and Dominic never thought to love again, but they suit each other in more ways than one.
This is a beautifully written story, I loved it from page one, the witty banter between them had me smiling and laughing as Artemis uses phrases from her novels, Dominic knows how to love a woman and their time together sizzles. This is one that I would highly recommend, truly I smiled so much and was cheering them on, a must read book and I can’t wait for book two.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
