Woo wee…talk about your double entendre. Drip, drip baby…drip drip.
Ever read a book that leaves you saying hmmm when you’re done? That’s me right now after reading Up All Night with a Good Duke. Why? Because I have absolutely no idea how to rate this book. There are SOOOO many things to like about this book. It’s fun. It has “heart”. It’s steamy. It even has two pretty good MCs…but something is missing for me…and I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad book at all, I just wasn’t “satisfied” at the end which leaves me lost on how to rate it.
I really liked the two main characters, they had wonderful chemistry…and their banter was playful, witty and seductively flirtatious. The story was engaging enough and held my attention. But when it was all said and done, I was still confused as to how I felt. I know…you’re asking me what the hell does that mean? It means I just don’t know what to do here, so you’ll need to read it for yourselves. I place it somewhere between three and four stars.
For example, with all the good and wonderful stuff I listed above, there were things that made me sad. The secondary characters being one of them. Did we really need to have this many subplots? To ME…it made the story feel…disjointed. And truthfully, most of these secondary characters (except for the daughter) where just plain dislikable. But that in itself is a testament to the writer’s skill…if she’s got me hating them, right?
So anyway…Artemis Jones is strong-willed and an independent bluestocking. She’s an educator and the author of salacious gothic novels with absolutely no desire to wed. After having her heart broken in her first season, her heart’s desire is to establish an all-female college that would educate young women on more than good comportment and how to be good wives. The problem however is how to fund such a venture. When the opportunity to return to London and find a backer presents itself, she quickly accepts.
Dominic Winters, Duke of Dartmoor needs to marry. Not just anyone though, he needs to marry a woman strong enough to help him rear his teenage daughter. Known as the Dastardly Duke for having supposedly murdered his previous wife, finding his bride will prove difficult. No one wants to marry a murderer!
When fate continues to put Artemis and him together, Dominic soon realizes that Artemis could be the woman that both he and his daughter need…and Artemis realizes that sometimes things work out for the best, even if they don’t go according to plan.
Look…Amy Rose Bennett is an incredibly talented writer and I’ve enjoyed reading some of her previous work That being said…Try it for yourself…I mean…you can’t go wrong with a book that has lines talking about “Lucifer’s Love Truncheon”.
