I had to read this when I saw the Bringing Up Baby comp! Love Suzanne Enoch’s writing as she usually has laugh out loud moments and this one was no different. I will say that you need to want to read about dogs for this one. Thanks for the chance to read early!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story shich takes place in a time of glamour and royalty in England. It begins with a grumpy, scientist duke walking his great aunt’s dog and running into the most popular socialite of the Season who is walking a pretty much identical poodle. The dogs get switched and then the duke’s dog is stolen from Elizabeth’s bedroom while she is at a ball. The novel then proceeds to have the two main characters begin to know and fall in love with each other, each thinking that the other wants nothing to do with them. I do not wish to spoil the ending, but it is an interesting book and I am very glad that I read it. I will look for more books by this author. It’s a fun romantic comedy, without any racy scenes.

I was provided an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.

A dog-napping caper drives the events in this thoroughly enjoyable rom-com.

Michael and Bitsy were the perfect foil for each other. Bitsy liked it very much that Michael took her seriously, as opposed to the somewhat frivolous façade she presented to society. Not that she was unhappy with that role, but she realized that she was more than just a pretty face. And Michael found himself drawn out of his self-imposed hermit-like life.

This book was so much fun. The villain was known almost right from the start, but that just added to the hilarious mishaps all over the place. I also adored the secondary story of Jimmy Bly and Sally and her dogs. They were just too cute for words. And I loved the addition of Michael’s chemistry experiments and his discussions of it with Bitsy.

I can highly recommend this book if you like closed-door historical romance with plenty of humor.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a fun regency RomCom that kept my interest and I couldn’t put it down. It had a 101 Dalmatians meet cute with forced proximity, opposites attract, mystery and grumpy/sunshine.
🐩
It could be because I’ve been watching Psych which deals with mystery but I pictured the grumpy and scientific logical thinker of the Duke as Detective Lassiter/JJ Field who doesn’t care who he insults.
🐩
This is a sweet romance with some innuendo, multi POV from the villain too.
🐩
You see the train wreck disaster and have to keep reading. I felt the ending ended too quickly. I wanted a little more but it was sweet. Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the e-arc copy.

Content: some innuendo, dog napping but the animals are safe

📖 Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch

An eccentric Duke and Diamond of the ton partner up to search for their missing poodles and find love along the way.

What to expect:

💋 Sweet Romance
🔁 Opposites Attract
☀️ Grumpy/Sunshine
🎂 Age Gap

Quick thoughts:

✨ I loved these characters!
✨ Watching them work together was enjoyable.
✨ Secondary characters were interesting too.
✨ The conclusion was perfectly paced.

Overall thoughts:

When the Duke, Michael, agrees to watch his aunts poodle he certainly wasn’t expecting to cross paths with the seasons Diamond, Elizabeth Dockering. However, that’s exactly what happens when the two collide trying to wrangle their respective poodles in the park.

Unintentionally mixing the poodles up, Michael and Elizabeth agree to a trade but when one of the dogs is stolen they end up partnering up to find the dog not knowing that the mastermind behind the dognapping is one of Elizabeth’s suitors.

I really loved this book. From the very beginning it caught my attention and held it. I loved how different Michael was from the usual Duke characterization. He’s very much occupied in the sciences and doesn’t function well in society. He kind of reminded me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.

Then there’s Elizabeth who’s young and popular. She’s the sunshine to his grumpiness. She makes him come out of his shell and he challenges her intellectually.

I also enjoyed the mystery aspect to this story. As the reader we know who the culprit is and the answer to the puzzle but it was still fun watching Michael and Elizabeth work to figure everything out.

This story was perfectly paced especially the ending. Everything about this one was beautifully executed. If you like a sweet romance with interesting characters then give this one a try!

In my opinion, if you miss new Bridgerton episodes this is the book for you. Support the SAG- AFTRA/ WGA strike, turn off Netflix and grab a copy of Every Duke Has It's Day. It was like a palate cleanse after a stressful day at work. A fun regency romcom with *2* wacky dogs, grumpy/sunshine HEA is all I ever want. 4.5/5 stars

This book was well written and a fun romantic comedy set in Regency era England.
The romance was nothing was nothing more than kissing but the book had language that makes it not so clean and wholesome like a true regency era romance.

I just finished Every Duke has his day by Suzanne Enoch and here is my review.

Michael Bromley may be a Duke but he isn’t interested in the society or the trivial pursuits that come with it. He has bigger aspirations. Chemistry. He has no decorum and his eccentric ways keep people from getting too close. When his Aunt Mary asks him to watch her beloved Poodle Lancelot while she is away, he does so begrudgingly.

Bitsy Dockering is the daughter of a viscount and in her second season in London. Everyone loves her, even her nightmare pooch, Galahad.

A mishap at the park has both Michael and Bitsy accidentally swapping dogs. Unbeknown to Bitsy, her suitor has planned to steal her dog as he and the dog do not get along. Problem is the dognapper ends up with Lancelot instead of Galahad which has both Michael and Bitsy working together to find the missing dog. Michael isn’t thrilled that Bitsy wants to help. He has no time for flakey women. He soon realizes he may have misjudged Bitsy and he certainly isn’t missing the chemistry that is igniting between the two of them.

I loved the title of this book and that was one of the reasons I had to read it and it really didn’t disappoint. The book was full of funny quips and banter! The situation was so funny and only something so insane could have bought a man like Michael out of himself. I loved watching Bitsy shed off the constraints of formality and find not only herself, but a man that could see for her more than just a wife in name. It was super sweet and I loved how eccentric Michael was.

I am always a sucker for historical fiction set in London. It’s like my catnip! I loved the intrigue of dogs being mixed up and how all zany adventures started. I have a real soft spot for Jimmy too and watching him figuring out who he wanted to be was amazing!

If you love regency romance books then you must add this one to our TBR. The adorable seemingly incompatible pair will fill you full of all the feels!

5 stars!!

Thank you to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for my gifted copy

💕Short review: Hilarious historical hijinks

💕Long review: Intelligent and anti social Michael, the Duke of Waritan, is dog sitting his aunt’s beloved poodle. While on a stroll when he’d rather be tinkering in his lab, the dog gets mixed up with another identical poodle belonging to Elizabeth Dockering. Think the opening of 101 Dalmatians and, as a result, Michael and Elizabeth unknowingly go home with the wrong dog.

Elizabeth’s slimy suitor, Peter Cordray, hires a petty thief to dog nap Elizabeth’s dog but, because of the chaos in the park, the wrong dog is stolen. Eventually both dogs go missing so Michael and Elizabeth must team up to find the thief and recover their dogs.

Full of fun and laughs this book was a delight for animal lovers with a cute cover too!

I thought that this book had a cute start. However, While I enjoyed the male MC, the female MC was quite two dimensional. I really couldn’t connect with her, she was just too superficial.

I feel that others may enjoy this book, however when it’s a romance and I don’t like one of the main characters it’s a deal breaker for me.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for providing me with an ARC of this book to read and review.

I was eagerly awaiting this story and it didn’t disappoint. I was completely captivated by this intriguing, fun, entertaining, opposites-attract, slow burn, regency historical romance.
Michael Bromley, the Duke of Woriton, was a man who spent his time doing science experiments, instead of dealing with Society and Ton events. When his Aunt leaves to go visit a friend she leaves her beloved poodle Lancelot with him. Walking in Hyde Park with her dog, this grumpy Duke finds himself wet and in the serpent river after a run in with the beautiful, sunshine “Bitsy” Lady Elizabeth Dockering the diamond of the season and her poodle Galahad.

What follows is an accidental dog swapping, a dog napping, and an unlikely partnership. As well as a villain in their midst!

This was filled with witty banter, snarky barbs, stolen moments, mystery and pounding hearts. This story had me laughing out loud and smiling as this story and their romance swept me away.

This story was filled with fantastic characters, from the hero and heroine to their precious pets and the secondary characters. All being crafted so well that it you either loved them or disliked them. Will these two opposites solve the mystery that has brought them together? I adored this delightful story!

I requested an early copy through NetGalley and this is my voluntary honest review.

This is a fun, entertaining, captivating read. Michael and Elizabeth are intriguing, relatable, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance, and the intrigue subplot. These two are compete opposites and yet they balance each other out. I enjoyed their on-page time together from the start. The dogs as secondary characters added much to the fabric of the story. The human secondary characters were varied and added to the story. I wish that the epilogue had been about our main couple. The story is easy to read and very enjoyable.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, is considered eccentric by the Ton. He is interested in science, detests Society events, and is somewhat grumpy. Elizabeth Dockering (Bitsy to her friends is the daughter of Viscount Mardensea. She is charming, loquacious, enjoys Society events, and is very popular. What can these two people have in common? Their dogs are missing. Well, Michael’s aunt’s dog, Lancelot, and Elizabeth’s dog Galahad. Michael begins to loosen up, and he and Elizabeth bicker and snap their way to fun and romance. The villain, an erstwhile suitor, is unpleasant and worse. The story is a romcom centered around the search for their missing poodles. In addition to the romance, there is dognapping(s), mixed up dogs (mistaken identity), a dip in the Serpentine for a duke, romance for a reformed (maybe) thief, and happy endings enough to go around. The narrator does a good job of arrogant aristocratic voices as well as the rookery accent.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Such a cute, fun read. If your a Bridgerton fan, definitely check it out. It’s funny, a little mysterious (dognapping is a real problem) and romantic. It’s also a great one for all of you STEM romance lovers!

I loved the characters and adored the writing. It felt like it had a little bit of everything. This is a great book for anyone looking to cozy up with a fun romance this fall!

This was a super fun, super cute, opposites attract, Regency romance featuring a reclusive, science minded Duke with no time or patience for social niceties and a Diamond of the first water social butterfly who believes her ability to navigate society is her most important skill, Their outwardly opposite/inwardly similar view is contrasted with their two black standard poodles, Lancelot (Michael's) and Galahad (Bitsy's) who are outwardly identical but inwardly very different..

Michael's (or rather his beloved aunt's) Lancelot is a well-mannered, well-behaved gentleman who would never cause a ruckus in public or private. Bitsy's brute, Galahad, on the other hand, lives to cause problems for her staff, friends, and especially, any of her suitors who might get a bit frisky. When these two pooches get tangled up with each other in a London park the game is on.

There's pooch mistaken identity, a dastardly suitor of Bitsy's who thinks all he needs to win her heart is to get that demon pooch, Galahad, out of the way, dognapping, (not once but twice), a tangled and desperate investigation that keeps throwing Michael and Bitsy together in a race to find and save their dogs, and a kind-hearted dognapper who discovers a love of his own while trying to deal with two big poodles in a tiny rented room.

Michael is grumpy in the best kind of way. He is devoted to his scientific inquiries in the hopes of improving people's lives and has no tolerance for inane chatter. He initially writes Bitsy off, but quickly discovers that she has a lively and inquiring mind and a caring spirit underneath her polished manners. Bitsy appears flighty and a bit dense but she's actually quite skilled at appearing to play the society game while constantly sizing up the people around her and making connections with them both help them out and to advance her own goals. This fluffy, grumpy/sunshine romance was low on spice, but the connection between Michael and Bitsy was obvious right from the start. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

This was such an entertaining book to read! Some books with animal side characters don’t seem to work, but Suzanne Enoch pulls it off with great flair and adventure! From dognapping of misidentified dogs to circus performing dogs, to a bad guy who is actually a nice person, this book leaves you will so many great feels.

Michael, the Duke of Woriton, is caring for his aunt’s beloved black poodle Lancelot while she visits a friend. Although he would much rather spend time in his lab, he decides to take Lancelot for a walk in Hyde Park. What could go wrong on a walk?

Elizabeth (Bitsy) Dockering also has a black poodle, Galahad, who happens to be a menace to everyone but Bitsy. Michael and Bitsy meet for the first time in the park and opposites do attract. When Galahad and Lancelot accidentally get mixed up in the park, they go home with the wrong owner. From there, said dognapping occurs with plenty of romantic comedy, witty dialogue, and laughter to follow.

The pace of the story is perfect, with well-developed main characters. The secondary characters are so fun they almost take center-stage. If you like grumpy dukes who are a little eccentric, charming and down-to-earth Diamonds of the Season, historical rom-coms, and the opposite attract trope, this is the book for you! You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you to Suzanne Enoch, St. Martin’s Publishing, and NetGalley for an Advanced Reader Copy. I voluntarily read the book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was sweet, fun and action packed. It held my interest and I didn't want to put it down. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others.

Good book, worth reading. There were three plot threads: 1) Poodles periodically missing and appearing like a shell game. Peek-a-boodle?  2) A slow burn romance between Michael, the Duke of Woriton and Lady Elizabeth. Um, dial that down to a slow simmer. 3) A true slow burn romance between Jimmy Bly and Sally Pangle.  

What did the stories have in common? A lack of depth. The dogs had no personality. They had a chance to show off a few tricks--if you blinked you missed them. Mostly they growled, whined, and ate. We never learned any backstory about the two couples.

There were hopeful moments between Michael and Elizabeth. He changed because of her, and she changed because of him. There were some romantic metaphors about sparks flying between them, but alas, instead of flourishing they kind of fizzled. If only there was more romance leading up to the inevitable, abrupt HEA. Of the three threads, I enjoyed Jimmy and Sally's relationship the most. Jimmy had some growing up to do, so not a smooth road to their HEA. Ultimately, it was nicely done.

My thanks to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

Super cute Bridgerton-esque romance! I really liked that the plot revolves a lot around dogs… I don’t know, it was cute and different.

You had me at the reference to Bringing Up Baby. Well, you actually had me when I learned that the fabulous, fantastic, funny Suzanne Enoch was the author. With Every Duke Has His Day she continues her unbroken successful string of books that make me laugh and swoon and just love them so much I can’t stop turning pages but also don’t want to leave these endearing characters at the story’s end.

Science-minded Michael Bromley, the Duke of Woriton, might seem a little odd and boring on the surface, but we – and Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering, third daughter of a viscount very much enjoying her second Season in London – soon find out that is not the case. Not the case at all. But the dogs Lancelot and Galahad (great names, by the way) are the real stars of the story. Michael is nonchalant about watching Lancelot while his aunt is away. He’s a scientist for heaven’s sake. How hard can taking care of a dog be? Galahad is sweet, loving and absolutely adorable. Well, to Bitsy – and ONLY to Bitsy. When Bitsy’s dastardly suitor hatches a plan to kidnap Galahad we’re off and running, with a slapstick plot that is indeed reminiscent of Bringing Up Baby via Jane Austen, involving opposites that aren’t all that opposite after all, some humor, some heat, and a delightful romp to a delightful HEA.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for providing an advance copy of Every Duke Has His Day via NetGalley for my reading pleasure and honest opinion. Pleasure is an understatement; I loved this book and can’t wait to see what Enoch comes up with next. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.
