I simply adored this quick, fun Regency romp. It was a rom-com with a twisty dognapping mystery. I zipped through the pages fairly quickly. Bitsy and Michael were great, as were their dogs, Gallagher and Lancelot.
The cover is as witty and sparkling as the book.

Many thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

What a super cute book! It is the first that I have read by Suzanne Enoch and I can’t wait to check out her other books!

Elizabeth “Bitsy: Dockering is a 19 year old socialite who had her fair share of suitors. The main suitor being Peter Cordray who has serious issues with Bitsy’s dog, a black poodle named Galahad. Galahad just does not like anything about Peter and his disdain makes Bitsy leery about the possible courtship/marriage. Michael Bromsley (Duke of Loriton) is a 28 year old scientist who is not a social person at all. He would rather work on his experiments any day of the week. His Aunt is going out of town and asks him to watch her dog Lancelot (who is also a black poodle).

Michael & Elizabeth have a chaotic run-in at the dog park. In all of the commotion, they end up accidentally swapping dogs. Little do they know that Peter has made plans to dog-nap Galahad and Lancelot is the one stolen instead. Michael & Elizabeth work together to find the dogs and who was responsible for the theft and bring them to justice.

There are lots of twists and turns in this book. I really enjoyed the story itself but I feel like we really didn’t get to know much about the person that Elizabeth was. I thought that Michael was a great character and maybe it was because he was older of the two and more mature?

This was a quick, fun book to read. Not my typical genre but very enjoyable. I did really enjoy the connection between Michael & Elizabeth! I found myself laughing throughout the book.

Thank you to @netgalley & @stmartinspress for the gifted copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!!

This is a silly little book about dogs and waltzes and science and i loved it!!!

The setting is a regency romcom, which is a personal favorite. The trope of mixing up the dogs was also so so fun and something I personally haven’t read!

The characters are also such a good mix of opposites and they’re sparks together are so well written i adored them!

Additionally i love jimmy and sally and the three dogs carnival troupe

Super fun rom-com! Loved the take on regency romance that this book had brought in a fun fresh twist to an already well-loved romance book time period! I loved the fun mystery that this book had and how low-stakes and lighthearted it read! The story developed at a nice pace and really meshed well with the character’s personalities. Thoroughly enjoyed the characters in this book, I thought they were well-developed and really easy to connect to right from the start. I found myself laughing at so many fun and cute moments that this book contained! Definitely recommend reading this book if you enjoy and fun and laughter-filled Regency rom-com!

I love a good period piece - especially in the drought of new Bridgerton seasons! I liked that this wasn't just romance but rom-com and had more elements.

Michael Bromsley, Duke of Woriton, is not interested in the ton or any of its endless gatherings and parties. He would much rather spend his time conducting scientific research in the field of electricity. When his aunt leaves for her travels, he is entrusted with the care of her dog, Lancelot. Elizabeth is the daughter of a viscount and adored by the ton. She has a black poodle which she cherishes, Galahad. But it seems only Elizabeth is taken in by its charms, because everyone else sees Galahad as a terror. Being the Diamond of the Ton, Elizabeth is entertaining many suitors, and one particular suitor absolutely cannot stand Galahad and plots to have him kidnapped. Michael and Elizabeth encounter each other one day with their respective dogs, and the kidnapping takes place. Only by mistake, Lancelot is taken instead. Ultimately, both dogs go missing, and Michael and Elizabeth work together to find the missing canines and their abductors and in the process, sparks begin to fly and love blossoms.
A zany, crazy and fun Regency story with a little mystery woven in! Definitely a unique and different type of story, but so much fun to read. I was smiling and laughing all the way through. With charming and endearing characters and a well-written storyline, this book was such a pleasure to read. So glad to have had the opportunity to read this!
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing a complimentary copy. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Every Duke Has His day by Suzanne Enoch from NetGalley and the publisher.

I loved the couple Michael Blumley, Duke of Loriton and Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering in this book. The dognapping brought them together enabling them to get to know each other beyond what they'd assumed about the other. They respected each other and acknowledged when one was better suited to a task.

I liked that Cordray, the villain of the story, was given a strong motivation for the things he did. I also liked the secondary story involving Jimmy Bly.

This was an entertaining and charming romance.

I had a crappy, and quite a stressful week. I was tired but ended up founding my cure in Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton. This was so delightful . I loved Bitsy. And, honestly if this book worked for me on this particular week it ought to work for anybody. So loved it.

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch is a light and quirky romcom set in a historical time. I enjoyed both of the main characters and their banter. The dog switch up was a cute twist. I also enjoyed the little side romance. It was exactly what I was looking for when I read it.

Thank you to Suzanne Enoch and St Martins Press for the Advance Reader Copy. I enjoyed this comedic Regency romance featuring Michael, Duke Woritch, Bitsy (the heroine) and poodles named Lancelot and Galahad. The plot moved quickly, the characters were well-drawn and easy to root for, and the happy ending was satisfying.

This was a really cute, fun, clean and well written story. This was a new to me author, and I will definitely be checking out her other books.

I tried to read this one and just couldn’t get into it. The writing was very well done just neither of the main characters held my attention.

Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn't perfect, but still was entertaining. I loved the characters and I definitely will read more of this author.

This is a great romantic comedy. When Bitsy and Michael's dogs get mixed up in the park hijinks ensure that make for an unputdownable read.

I really enjoyed this historical romance that was filled with a little sleuthing and some action.

Michael Blumley, Duke of Loriton, is more interested in locking himself away doing experiments than fitting into the ton. But when his aunt, Lady Mary Harris, enlists his help watching her well-behaved black poodle, Lancelot while she's away, his life takes an interesting turn. Elizabeth "Bitsy" Dockering, is the belle of the ton during her second season in London. Considered the "Diamond of the Season", Bitsy has a list of suitors. Unfortunately none of them can get close to her because of her loyal and protective black poodle, Galahad. Bitsy believes Galahad is a sweet dog, but to everyone else is a demon. When a chance meeting in the park, leads to Lancelot being mistaken for Galahad and kidnapped, Bitsy and Michael are forced to work together to get to the bottom of what is going on.

This book is a lot of fun because it does something different with historical romance. Instead of being confined to the typical a suitor must find a wife or a belle must find a husband plot, the romance comes from these two people trying to find their kidnapped dogs (don't worry, both dogs are never hurt!). It was a blast to read and I really enjoyed how Michael and Bitsy's love story unfold.

If you're into historical romance and want a different approach to the love story, definitely give this one a try.

* I should also mention that this is a closed-door romance, but I still loved it!*

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Arc received from the publisher; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Every Duke Has His Day is a charming and witty romance that will appeal to fans of all things Regency. The story is full of humor, heart, and adorable poodle antics. Enoch's characters are well-developed and relatable, and their journey to love is both heartwarming and entertaining. This book was a delightful romantic comedy, that not only blends wit, charm, and a touch of chaos, but I was laughing out loud while reading. This is the perfect escape for anyone who enjoys historical romances with a touch of humor.

Tropes:
-Historical Romance
-Opposites Attract
-Grumpy/Sunshine
-Slow Burn

A delightful Regency Romance with a little mystery thrown in re: a dognapping. There is some wit which makes the story more enjoyable.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot! It was a fun book!

Bitsy is being aggressively courted by Peter and it’s a great match on paper- except that her dog Galahad despises Peter. Peter develops a scheme to kidnap Galahad and remove any barriers to their union, not realizing that Bitsy’s dog Galahad was accidentally exchanged in the park with Lancelot, the dog that Michael is dog sitting for his aunt. Given that Lancelot was the dog who was actually taken, Bitsy and Michael team up to bring him home.

What I loved:
-the dogs!
-storyline with Jimmy
-cozy mystery feeling
-justice being served

This was a super cute and cozy read. Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s for the advanced reading copy.
