Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Amy Rose Bennett!
Writes:
Amy Rose Bennett writes steamy historical romance. From the Scottish Highlands of the eighteenth century through the Regency period to the Victorian era, heroines with spirit and noble-hearted heroes wearing kilts or breeches are her jam. Her latest release UP All NIGHT WITH A GOOD DUKE is her first romance set in the mid 1800s. It’s a change of pace, but she’s having lots of fun with it. What shenanigans can one get up to when wearing a corset and crinoline skirt? Amy’s bluestocking heroines from her new Byronic Book Club series know what they want from life and are certainly game enough to find out.
About:
Amy Rose Bennett is happiest when she’s penning or reading historical romances with lots of heat and heart. She also loves a good grip-lit novel and is “guilty” of the occasional rom-com or reality show binge. Aside from “romance author,” other monikers include: amateur kitchen goddess; devoted wife to a gamma hero; proud mum; cat grandma; lover of coffee, brie, French fries, and Champagne; scarf hoarder; cryptic crossword ace; believer in ghosts. Amy currently divides her time between Melbourne and rural Victoria in Australia.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
Readers who love the idea of the following would be a great match:
- Sizzling insta-attraction between the duke hero and bluestocking heroine
- A progressive-minded, fiercely independent heroine who owns her own desire
- A widowed, single father hero who isn’t afraid to fall in love
- Steamy open-door, love-making scenes (fans and smelling salts recommended)
- A trope “mash-up” including elements from The Taming of the Shrew, compromise-gone-wrong, and engagement-of-convenience
- A good dose of humor and angst
- Meddling relatives
- Supportive female friendships
- A wink and a nod or two to the Gothic romance genre including Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre.
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Unapologetic steamy historical romance
- Alpha-beta or “gamma” heroes. They’re confident, strong, and might come across as arrogant at first, but they also have a sensitive side and a heart of gold.
- Spirited heroines who are fully aware of the constraints of the times they live in but aren’t afraid to take chances to make their dreams come true.
- Banter and off-the-charts chemistry between the hero and heroine
- Pull-at-your-heartstrings angst
- A sigh-worthy happily-ever-after that will leave you smiling.
The Byronic Book Club #1
"I can think of the perfect way to keep you occupied and your mind diverted," she murmured. "Come to my room. If you're not too tired..."
Lust flashed in his gaze and then he caught her face between his hands and kissed her. "For you, my beautiful Artemis, I'd stay up all night."
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, to navigate her first London Season, she comes at once. Who knows, perhaps she can court the interest of a wealthy patron for her school. As long as she can avoid her high-handed aunt's schemes to marry her off.
Dominic Winters, the widowed Duke of Dartmoor, needs a wife—someone who will provide him with an heir and help him to manage his spitfire adolescent daughter. The problem is, Society has dubbed him "The Dastardly Duke." Rumors are rife that he murdered his mad wife so his choices for a suitable bride are limited. But then he meets the ravishing and passionate Artemis Jones who might just be everything he needs.
