Up All Night with a Good Duke

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.

First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion.

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
