Beautiful book with endearing characters I loved Dominic and Artemis. I found my way to this book after it had been published but I have recommended it to countless people since then. I adored this story and everything about it

I thoroughly enjoyed Up All Night with a Good Duke, the protagonist Artemis Jones was fiesty and irreverent and her adventures and reflections were very entertaining to read. Dominic Winters was an engaging counterpart, and their witty repartee had me laughing out loud. I look forward to reading follow up books in this series as the first book captured my interest completely.

Firstly, I would like to thank Netgalley & Sourcebooks Casablanca for the opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of Up All Night with a Good Duke by Amy Rose Bennett. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own, and I also want to apologize for reviewing the book after its publication date.
It is a fresh take on historical romance when the relationship between the two main characters is well done. Artemis & Dominic are in an interesting situation, and their physical and mental chemistry is off the charts.
Another surprise I had was the excellent communication between the main characters.
The story's villain got what he deserved, and I am not saying anything. You have to read the book to find out. So, pick up the book, and you will see.
Artemis' friends are interesting characters, and I look forward to their love stories. If you want something dramatic, sexy, and funny with a pinch of emotional drama, then Up All Night with a Good Duke is for you. Take into consideration that there are a lot of open-door scenes in this book.

I had so much fun with this historical! The heroine is a secret gothic romance author and I loved how that played into the storyline. She meets the hero, who is taking care of his daughter (who happens to be a moody teenager who loves reading the romance novels he detests). The heroine has to enter London society to help her friend and literally runs into the hero and cannot forget him. There were a few slow moments throughout the story, but I loved how he was a single father and how his daughter was a bit older and had an important part to the plot. It was fun reading about a romance author and watching the characters fall in love!

Literary references, a gothic tone, sexy library times...this was a fun, if unremarkable read. The characters were forgettable to me, but the plot was enjoyable.

It's an Amy Rose Bennett book, duh!! As always, a real winner of a historical romance novel. Such a great read.

This book is an engrossing first volume in a new series. I greatly enjoyed the independence of Artemis and the openness of Dominic. It will be interesting to see who's story is next in the series since there were several open-ended character plots. Definitely a good book to occupy a rainy weekend.

I have a weakness for widowed heroes, especially those with children so this book appealed to me however I was disappointed. The plot was predictable and the characters were not memorable. The best I can say is it was decent.

This book is the first in the series. While it was an okay read, I don't intend to continue the series.

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Up All Night with a Good Duke is a thoroughly delightful read. Artemis Jones is a lady novelist with a passion for female education. She doesn't want a duke, and therefore throws romance convention on its head. I loved the expressive use of language in this book.

loved this, especially a forward thinking and independent women in these historical times and will continue to read the series after this!

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book one in the Bryonic book club series. This was a pretty good read. I did like the characters and the fact that they grew. It was nice that they grew together and worked well with each other. I enjoyed it a great deal. I am looking forward to more in the series.

fake engagement; working/author heroine; older hero; Artemis writes Gothic romance I mean....Dominic is being chased by old scandal.....possibly murder.....

I absolutely love everything Bennett writes, top notch read!

Artemis Jones-"respectable" finishing-school teacher by day and Gothic romance writer by night-has never lost sight of her real dream: to open her own academic ladies' college. When Artemis is unexpectedly called upon by a dear friend, a fellow Byronic Book Club member.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Amy Rose Bennett is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book

Loved this romance 💒 great engaging read. Each Novel gets better!! Can't wait for the book. The characters are Wonderful.

I really enjoy Amy Rose Bennett’s writing style, but I think the plot of this one was just a bit too convoluted for me. With all the various characters, it felt like Artemis’s motivation to start her college got lost fairly quickly, and it felt a bit too long on top of that. I did enjoy her relationship with Celeste and Dominic’s coming to appreciate gothic novels, though!

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.

For Artemis Jones, undergoing a season is the last thing she wants. She intends to one day open a college for young ladies, and is happy to leave her job at a stuffy 'respectable' school to help her sister and her friends. But arriving in London and walking into the Dastardly Duke of Dartmoor, Artemis is drawn to him. Dominic Winters needs a wife, but even though he is a Duke and relatively young, society believes he killed his first wife and won't go anywhere near him. Dominic needs a wife for an heir, and a mother was his wayward daughter, and Artemis definitely fits the bill.

Well this book was fun. Artemis and Dominic had one of the best meetings in a historical romance, and their subsequent meetings were right for them too. I loved when the plot line turned into a fake engagement, and Artemis grew closer to Dominic's daughter, Celeste. The secret she was keeping was fun, and though I wish she had spoken to Dominic about it before the big 'reveal', it was worth it for the make up scenes. A really enjoyable start to a new series, from a new author for me.

Up All Night with a Good Duke is a sizzling Victorian romance that grounds us with little period details while not limiting us to common attitudes of the time. Sometimes, I just want people to wear period dress at a train station without a lot of patriarchal bullshit coming along, too. And this book made that happen for me. Artemis is a finishing school teacher with a secret identity (Lydia Lovelace, Gothic romance author) and a hidden agenda (opening a women's college). Neither of these things leaves room for the typical manhunting expected of a woman her age. Instead, Artemis intends to sail into spinsterhood with her bookish friends at her side, achieving her goals and maintaining her independence. That doesn't mean she lacks interest in the opposite sex at a more basic level. In fact, as Artemis endures the Season to support her anxious friend and to seek a benefactress for her college, she finds herself attracted to Dominic Winters, Duke of Dartmoor. Dominic is braving the Marriage Mart because it's become clear that his teenage daughter is lonely and acting out. He needs to repair their family's reputation for her sake, banishing the specter of his first wife's disappearance a decade ago. Society gossip has long reported that the disappearance was at Dominic's behest, a story that his brother-in-law keeps alive in the public consciousness.

The chemistry and banter are there from the beginning. The characters' joy at speaking to one another is infectious. This very chemistry is what carries familiar tropes through with vitality and fun. The book brings up the importance of seeking consent for your trope-y schemes. Don't rope someone into some rom-com chicanery without letting them know the stakes and what is needed from them so they can decide if they want to participate. After this conversation takes place, Dominic and Artemis work together to stage Artemis' ruination, and never has that trope been carried out in such a light-hearted and funny way. There's also an engagement of convenience and a nursing back to health plot, both of which I give all the stars.

Beyond the excellence of the romance, the author captures her characters and situations with heart and realness. Dominic has big "dad of a teenager" energy and has a stalwart, honorable personality. He's a bit stern and spread thin, but he's not cold or emotionally repressed. Artemis is feisty and willful without being needlessly thoughtless and selfish. She seeks out mischief without losing sight of her aspirations. She doesn't let society dictate who she will be, but she is also savvy and clever. There are also some villainous characters I loved to hate, but I don't want to give anything away on that front. The author captures certain scenes with a touch of Gothic ambience perfect for a secret penny dreadful writer to enjoy. With others, the romantic elements are dialed up, sweet and heartfelt. And she does ~not~ neglect the steamy scenes between Artemis and Dominic, either.

In terms of deeper elements, note a trigger warning for postpartum depression and the loss of a child. I felt that the author handled the characters' grief with the gravitas it deserves and honors their complicated feelings and experiences. There's also a plot with gaslighting and harassment that shows the ugly side of society. This is another area where I found the author's take thoughtful, and it leaves Artemis the space to emerge triumphant and vindicated after a difficult road.

I am excited to read more from this series. It's just the sort of character-driven, forward-thinking historical romance that revives my faith in the genre. Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for my copy to read and review!

As a fan of regency novels, I truly enjoy when the heroes are more forward thinking. As in Up All Night With the Good Duke, Artemis a blue stocking and Dom a well read and open minded Duke. This book had a meet cute, fake engagement, and fun secondary characters.

This set of characters were a fun start and I cannot wait to see the next in the series.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, the first in a new series. Artemis Jones is a teacher in a girl's finishing school, but unknown to all but her publisher she is also the authoress of a series of gothic romance novels. The beginning of the book even sounded like how one of those books would have read, though the tone changed as the book progressed. Because of her parent's relationship (not a love match) and having been seduced and discarded by a cad who took her innocent, she doesn't believe in love and HEA, except in her novels and has no plans to ever marry. Her dreams is to open her own college for women- that will teach the same subjects taught to men. She has two close friends who also are wary of marriage, hence the Byronic Book Club.

The romance between her and Dominic Winters, the fifth Duke of Dartmoor is unusual. The poor man's beloved wife suffered from post Postpartum depression, undiagnosed at the time. She appears to have killed herself and her brother, who refused to accept the truth had spread malicious lies about the Duke, not carrying how it would also affect his niece. The Duke has been very lonely, and while Artemis is not the kind of woman he would have looked for in a duchess, she is exactly what he needs.

I liked the story line, the characters and the banter between them. And there is a villain who puts them all in danger. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I read an ARC provided by the publisher vis NetGalley.com. This I my unbiased and voluntary review.

Historical Romance is not usually my jam because it is usually just very bland for me. The FMC was very quirky and could honestly work in a contemporary book which is cool. The spice was... there (I guess) but not in a fan yourself with your kindle kind of way. There were some really cute moments though like COME ON!?!? KISSES IN THE BOOKSHELVES?!?!?

If you like historical romances you would like this because even as a lesbian he did infact make me swoon just a lil.
