Up All Night with a Good Duke

The Byronic Book Club, Book 1

By Amy Rose Bennett

Narrated by Sasha Higgins

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

If you’re looking for a good book to stay up late with on these hot summer nights, Amy Rose Bennett’s latest release, Up All Night with a Good Duke needs to be on your radar!

This delicious new series starter follows a group of bluestockings as they attempt to avoid the parsons mousetrap!

Artemis Jones is a school teacher by day and romance novelist/ seductress by night! I adored her independent spirit and gumption as she uses every advantage she has to open her own school for girls and solidify her independence!

… Even if that means getting engaged to a Duke!

The Duke of Dartmoor needs some help with his wayward daughter who is getting bored he turns to an educated bluestocking for advice! Soon he’s turning to her for more than advice… and things really heat up!!!

This was a fun romance and I love how Bennett’s writing reminds me of fun and excitement that old school romance delivers, but with the modern sensibility that makes it relatable!

This is a series to watch!

🎧I was fortunate to receive an audiobook arc and found that even though Sasha Higgins narration fit with the historical romance vibe, her breathy narration could be grating at times. Her pace was also very slow. The slow pacing required speeding up, with could make her narration style difficult to understand. I also fond that her male voice work and the character differentiation to be minimal and often changes of speaking voice difficult to catch. In general, her narration did fit with the book, but it took more work from myself the listener to get used to and enjoy.

Up All Night with a Good Duke by Amy Rose Bennett was released June 28th, 2022.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca and audio from Dreamscape Media via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
