Great Anthology. Think I enjoyed virtually all of them. There were a couple of indosyncacies. I think one author had a dress with exposed shoulders in supposedly regency times. One hero's hair changed colour from Dark to Chestnut...but on the whole there were some great stories. Some stories are obviously part of the authors series.
I particularily enjoyed Jude Knight's : With a Valet in a Wardrobe at Midnight and Caroline Warfield's : Music in the night.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Perfect choice to stay up late, cozy with a blanket all night long. This collection of stories was perfect. The stories have everything you’re looking for in a historical romance ,like "reformed rake" and "secret longing" and so many more.
I found some of my favorite of authors like Chasity Bowlin and Jude Knight. I'm so excited to find some new-to-me authors from this collection. It is packed with stories full of wit, humor, and heart-racing kind of passion. Each story gives you something different and you may find new genres you will fall in love with. I did. You will want to read every one of these stories. Every single story was wonderful and I look forward to reading more from these authors. It’s a great way to gift someone historical romance and get them hooked just like you are!
Enjoy the adventures.

Thank you NetGalley. I enjoyed these stories very much. They were so varied and kept my interest. Of course it helps that some of my favorite authors are the contributors. Don't miss out.

Delightful Historical Romance Boxed Set
Dukes All Night Long brings together a dozen never-before-published tales of passion, intrigue, and of course—dukes. Each story offers its own flavor, from mystery-laced romances to second-chance love.
The Duke’s Delayed Wedding Night by Chasity Bowlin
A duke’s wife vanishes only to be found at a school for young ladies, with no memory of him—or their life together. Lost memories, unexpected villains, and enduring love make this an engaging tale. Bowlin’s stories are always a delight, and this one blends mystery with romance beautifully.
Forever with a Pirate Duke by Gina Conkle
Gregory, once a privateer, never expected to inherit a dukedom. Now he must transform into a proper duke—with help from Susan, the lady tasked with tutoring him in society’s ways. But when hearts get involved, lessons grow complicated. A charming mix of class clash, romance, and unexpected love.
With a Valet in a Wardrobe at Midnight by Jude Knight
An arranged marriage gets complicated when Garry, wanting to see his would-be bride for himself, disguises himself as a valet. Jenna, meanwhile, is on a midnight quest to save her sister from a blackmailer—only to stumble into both danger and unexpected love. Jude Knight has such a gift for short romances, weaving adventure and heart into every page.
The Seducer Comes to Call by Edie Cay
Sybil hides away after rumors and scandal destroy her place in society, until childhood friend Archie stumbles upon her. A kiss long ago changed everything—can it change their present, too? This tale of lost chances, rekindled feelings, and the possibility of love beyond ruin was a standout for me.
Trusting the Duke’s Son by Christina Diane
Jenny believed Finch, a duke’s second son, would marry her—until scandal drove him away. Years later, their reunion brings both revelations and the question: can trust and love be restored? A touching, well-told second-chance romance.
Midnight Masquerade by Christine Donovan
Charlotte seeks one last adventure before a dull marriage and finds it in a masked stranger. Nathaniel, scarred by war, fears rejection—but Charlotte may surprise him. I loved how this masquerade tale balanced heat, heart, and vulnerability.
Duke by Dawn by Sheridan Jeane
Evan never wanted a title, yet inherits one after tragedy. Violet’s reappearance brings both danger and unfinished feelings. Their story blends love, treachery, and intrigue, though I wished for a clearer resolution. It feels like part of a larger series, and I’d have liked an author’s note confirming that.
The Duke of Covent Garden by Kelsey Swanson
Known as “Duke” in London’s underworld, Preston isn’t a nobleman but a man of power and vengeance. When Lady Kate is delivered to him as payment for her brother’s debts, old feelings reignite. Can love survive when vengeance demands its due? Dark, emotional, and compelling—Swanson never disappoints.
The Wanton Maid by E.L. Johnson
Lucy, a fallen noble’s daughter turned lady’s maid, finds herself at a masquerade where she meets Falstaff, a duke’s nephew hunting a thief. Mystery and romance intertwine in this charming tale of mistaken identity and unexpected attraction.
A Duke at the Opera by Peri Maxwell
Zara, a widowed soprano, returns to the stage opposite Silas, a tenor who has long loved her. Their onstage chemistry may just turn into something real. A sweet story of love, second chances, and finding happiness after loss.
Dawn’s Light by Tess Thompson
A Twelfth Night house party brings together Arabella and Lucian, once lovers separated by betrayal and circumstance. Locked in a room with only clues to guide them, can they reclaim what was lost? A beautiful story of redemption and second chances—one of my favorites.
A Deal with the Duke by Margaux Thorne
Jo, a widow, consults a fortune teller only to be told it’s time to move on—just as she encounters Oliver, the man she once loved. This story teases at a bigger arc in Thorne’s Cricket Club series, and I hope Jo and Oliver get their full book soon.
Music in the Night by Caroline Warfield
Mysterious music haunts Owen at a ducal mansion until he discovers Annie, a woman running from a cruel uncle. Music, danger, and second chances intertwine in this romantic, heartfelt tale.

Dukes All Night Long offers variety: mistaken identities, midnight adventures, lost loves rekindled, and dukes of every kind imaginable. If you enjoy short historical romances filled with passion, intrigue, and second chances, this set is a delight from beginning to end.

"Dukes All Night Long" is a substantial anthology that delivers exactly what it promises: a collection of steamy, duke-centric historical romances perfect for a quick escape. With over a thousand pages featuring thirteen stories from a variety of authors, it offers a fantastic opportunity to discover new writers and enjoy quick, satisfying reads.
The anthology boasts a strong lineup, including well-known names like Chasity Bowlin and Jude Knight. The stories cover a range of popular tropes, from marriages of convenience and fake engagements to reformed rakes and second chances. There’s likely something for every historical romance fan to enjoy, whether you prefer your stories sweet or spicy.
As with any multi-author collection, the reading experience can be a mixed bag. Some stories are standouts--well-paced, with compelling characters and a satisfying emotional arc that feels complete despite the shorter format. Others, however, felt a bit rushed or ended abruptly, leaving me wishing for a more fleshed-out resolution. One of the stories seemed to have been retrofitted to be about a duke--which meant that said duke had a living father threatening to disinherit him.
Overall, this is an enjoyable and entertaining collection. It’s ideal for reading in bursts, perfect for when you need a romantic pick-me-up but don’t have the time to commit to a full-length novel. (I ended up finishing it on a plane, which was perfect.) While not every story will be a five-star read for every reader, the anthology’s sheer breadth and the consistent quality of writing make it a worthwhile venture for any devotee of the genre.
Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

This collection of novellas started out very strong with some familiar authors and a few new ones. There were some love stories with a bit of mystery involved, some with witty banter, a lot of second chance romances or romances rekindled from childhood. There were some clean sweet stories, some steamy stories, and some that were somewhere in the middle. The characters were well written for the most part. However, some of the later novellas left too many cliffhangers. They didn’t really give me the HEA or clear resolution that I wanted. They stories seemed unfinished. That is why I only gave 3 ⭐️s although there were some stories that I really liked.
I received an ARC from Net Galley and am voluntarily leaving this review.

From Chasity Bowlin's “The Duke's Delayed Wedding Night” to Caroline Warfield's “Music in the Night”, I found each of the novellas in this anthology most enjoyable. I am familiar with all the authors in this anthology, and I was not disappointed. I received a copy of this book as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

The Duke's Delayed Wedding Night By Chasity Bowlin
4/5 After her wedding, Verity seems to have changed to be a different person. After 4 months of marriage she disappears without a trace. 8 months later she is found with her memory missing and confronted by a man she doesn't know claiming to be her husband.
Open Door
Forever with a Pirate Duke By Gina Conkle
Not a fan of the author skipping
With a Valet in a Wardrobe at Midnight by Jude Knight
Gary and Jenna meet trying to prevent her sister to his besties wedding from being called off.
3/5 it was enjoyable clean little story. I liked that this author explained how these characters are intertwined in her stories.
The seducer comes to call by Edie Cay
Don’t enjoy this author so did not read
Trusting the dukes son by Christina Diane
Fin and Jenny have fallen for each other and their charity work for women in trouble brings them closer together. His father and her brother work to separate them but will their love win?
3.75/ 5 really enjoyable to me. I want to read more by this author in the future. I like the plot as it didn’t lead to white savior complex which is so easy when it is about slavery. (note this one isn't about slavery just a note from my brain)
Midnight masquerade by Christina Donovan
I don’t like this author I will skip.
Duke by dawn by Sheridan Jeane.
Evan and Violet were in love previously however insecurities drove them apart. Now that they have found their way back to each other will they allow the past to prevent their future?
I was really into this story, I was captivated. But it ended so abruptly and in an incomplete way to me. The ending didn't wrap the story up completely. The was clean.
2/5
The duke of the Covent garden by kelsey swanson
I liked this one quite a bit. 4/5 It is a story about childhood friends to lovers. With a bit of revenge on the ML's part, but it is not revenge against her. He is self made and she is going to be in the poor house cause her brother is awful. He is a cat dad so automatic swoon from me.
the wanton maid by EL johnson
4/5
I need to read this author's next series, I have read several of her short stories in these anthologies and enjoyed them all. This one is a dinner party mystery about a thief at the Ton's parties. With a the right amount of romance. It is only kisses but they are good ^.^
A duke at the opera by peri maxwell
This was a well developed story about a widower finding herself after deciding to move on from her husbands passing. Silas and actor in her opera house has his eye on her and wants to create a future with her.
3/5 interested in reading another story by this author in the future.
Dawn's Light by Tess Thompson
Really enjoyed this one. our main characters were in love but our ML called off their courtship without explaining why. Our FL devastated but needing to help her family financially married a kind older gentleman looking for friendship and assistance in his final years of life. Our duke must marry ASAP and is reunited with our FL. I liked that she wasn't a widowed virgin and that she enjoyed having lovers. Our Duke was jealous over that but understood as she never understood why he left. It was clean still even though the topic of sex was on page.
4/5
A deal with the duke by Margaux Thorne
The brother from the last book in Math Made in Heaven which I highly recommend. This is well written and engaging but the ending.... Please tell me there is going to be an extension of this story.
WHAT?!?! Where is the rest of this story. I need more.
3/5
Music in the night by caroline warfield
This is a second chance love story. Two young music lovers are ripped apart by Annie's mother and meet again by chance 7 years later can they find happiness and love?
They spent most of this apart on the pages. It was interesting but I found it a bit boring.
2/5

Duke’s All Night Long by a variety of Dragonblade authors is a compendium of short stories and novellas featuring dukes, of which there is no shortage in the Dragonblade universe. Authors include Edie Cay, Christina Diane, Christine Donovan, Sheridan Jeane, Kelsey Swanson, E L Johnson, Peri Maxwell, Tess Thompson, Margaux Throne, Caroline Warfield, and headliners Chasity Bowlin, Gina Conkle, and Jude Knight. All entertaining and worth the read. The advantage to this format as opposed to a novel is that it is easier to break up. All handsome with a variety of tropes, it is not to be missed. Fun book!
I was invited to read Duke’s All Night Long by Dragonblade. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #DukesAllNightLong

This is a fun collection of stories. All of them have a duke involved, but they each have a different plot. I liked jumping in and out of this collection between longer books or when I had a little extra time.

There are a wide variety of stories to fit any mood. Each is a quick read. I like how each of the authors hold to the theme, but they are done in such varied ways!

A collection of 13 short and passionate romantic tales to enjoy and discover new authors and their creative styles. Very enjoyable read!
I received an ARC of this book and leaving my review voluntarily.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Dragonblade Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
A mixed bag of stories, better quality than the last couple of anthologies. I particularly enjoyed Edie Cay’s story.

A duke collection...
This was a great way to read a collection of historicals featuring, you guessed it, dukes.
There were a few authors I've read before and a lot new to me. So, what a logical way to read new authors in this genre. Plus, novellas mean you can read all night long. About dukes. Wink.
Highly recommend.

An entertaining collection of passion filled romance stories. Marriage of convenience or a fake engagement are some tropes and all with sizzle and great banter. A bag full of irresistible happily ever afters.

I'm usually a fan of full novels, but anthologies like Dukes All Night Long are great for when I need a little reading break. They're also a good way for finding a new author to check into before committing to a full novel.
The short stories in this anthology were all fun reads. Great tales with interesting characters. There were some that I enjoyed more than the rest, but they were all good. My favorites were Duke's Delayed Wedding Night, With a Valet in a Wardrobe at Midnight, and Duke of Covent Garden. If you like anthologies I think Dukes All Night Long would be a great choice.

This is one of the best collections/anthologies I have ever read -there is not really a weak story in the bunch! I was familiar with a couple of the writers, but most were knew to me which was nice because now I have a whole bunch of new authors to keep an eye out for! What I really enjoyed about this collection was that characters either had a history/backstory so the romance part was not as rushed as it often is in shorter stories or they ended with a promise of courting rather than moving right to marriage. There are even a few stories that end on a kind of cliffhanger which made me excited to see what the author does with the characters in future books.

A fun set of quick stories from some of your most beloved authors. Each story is uniquely different, filled with drama, adventure, lost memories, fun, deception and so much more. If you have read these authors before, you will really want this book. If you haven't read them or are pretty new to the historical romance genre, grab this book. It will introduce you to amazing authors, give you a sense of their writing skills, provide more of their stories to explore and open up a wonderful world of beautiful romance to immerse yourself in. Always a great joy to read these works!

Once again an absolute delightful anthology of short stories. There are thirteen stories, each is well written & are ideal for filling in an hour or two or as late night reading knowing you won’t be awake at dawn to finish a story. Whilst they are all very good my two favourites were
With a Valet in a Wardrobe at Midnight - Jude Knight -. Loved it! A delightful young couple & an all seeing elderly Duke
Music in the Night - Caroline Warfield - Owen has his story & finds his long lost love in the unlikeliest of places. A lovely story
I voluntarily read and reviewed a special copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own

Between lengthy books I love to read historical romances. They are a good palate cleanser. "Dukes All Night Long" is a good read if you want something short and sweet. Personally, I found the earlier stories to be lacking a bit. At times the author tried to fit too much into a short story or the plot was a bit meh. However, the stories began to get better and better. I do think one should give this a try if you want to discover an author's work.
Thank you NetGalley for this arc!
