I've long held a soft spot for historical romance; from reading every Jane Austen novel during a single summer when I was a preteen to eagerly awaiting the next season of Bridgerton... I also can appreciate some cute animals and mystery stories. That said - this missed the mark for me.

The author jumps into the story right away. Parts of the dialogue felt somewhat jumbled with how they were mixed into paragraphs. There's a slightly clever insult in an opening scene that the author then felt the need to explain to the reader after, as well as a lot of repetition throughout the book. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters (the dogs held the most charm) and the story seemed to be less romance-focused than advertised (again, the dogs held the most charm). I also didn't feel the chemistry between the leads. For those who are deep into the historical part of historical romances, there also were inaccuracies, but I personally don't read these types of books for that nor do I expect the authors to be historians.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this one.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the dogs. It was great to see the character growth of Michael and Elizabeth. Lots of humor in this book. Overall, an entertaining romance. *I recevied an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Thank you to St Martins Press, Suzanne Enoch and NetGalley for the eARC of EVERY DUKE HAS HIS DAY. I am a huge fan of regency romance and this one did not disappoint! It had so many elements of intrigue, mystery, love, and even dogs! It was such a sweet, fun and easy read. I highly recommend!

Regency romance for the win! With well-crafted dialogue and a plot that balances humor and emotional depth this is the perfect way to escape modern reality.

Sometimes you need a book that just lets you turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Every Duke Has His Day was the perfect beach read for me. Stakes were low and no dogs were harmed in the kidnapping caper. I liked the chemistry between Michael and Bitsy and felt like their relationship grew in a natural and believable way. There were several laugh out loud moments and I think the no steamy scenes worked for the vibe of the book.

This was a fun regency rom com, I was immersed into this book from the start and I and the plot is just so entertaining.

Unfortunately, after multiple attempts I have been unable to get into this book. I have come to realize that I do not think historical romance is a genre that I have an easy time getting into. I found this to be hard to follow at time and extremely slow.. Due to that I have decided to soft DNF the book and potentially pick it up at a later date.

This was so incredibly sweet, I loved every minute of it! The romance, the dog hijinks, and even the thief's side story, it was all just a pleasure to read.

Definitely recommend this historical romance if you are a fan of the genre, enjoy a clean romance, and love dogs!

Every Duke Has His Day is a romance story between Michael Blumley, Duke of Loriton and Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering the third daughter of a Viscount. Michael is 28, too old to be looking for a young wife, but he is fine with that. His interests and talents are the science of electricity and how it can be used. His peers view him as eccentric and it has been a long time since he attended any balls or parties. His favourite aunt, Lady Mary Harris is going out of town and leaves her well-behaving black poodle, Lancelot in his care. It forces him to go outside to walk him. While in the park, Lancelot gets mixed up with Galahad, a not so nice poodle belonging to Bitsy. Galahad is badly behaved and considered a demon by many, especially the pompous, lying Peter Cordray, one of Bitsy’s most insistent suitors. When Michael separates the dogs, they each take theirs home. It is a few hours later that Michael realizes that he has Galahad. He heads off to a party to find Bitsy and sort out the mix up. Unfortunately, Cordray has hired a petty thief, who has been stealing and returning dogs for ransom, to steal the Galahad, clearing the way for him to move in and marry Bitsy. Of course, it is Lancelot that gets stolen and in interesting story follows.

Every Duke Has His Day is a fun, humorous romance with great characters and an interesting plot line. I will say right up front, the dogs are not injured or mistreated. Michael needs to get Lancelot back before his aunt returns, so he teams up with Bitsy to interview others whose dogs have disappeared and set up a stake out to observe local butcher shops. One of his methods, to post flyers around the area where they believe the thief is hiding to pay for information or the recovery of Lancelot, results in some humorous interactions. If a poodle and a doodle were the same thing, he would have ended up with a rooster. Michael is smart, honorable, caring, compassionate and underneath might just be a bit of a romantic. Bitsy is wonderful. She is having the most fun ever working with Michael and gradually falling for him. She likes a smart man and one who treats her as more than just a beautiful woman on his arm. Their conversations and banter were fun and enjoyable and I wanted them, not only to get their dogs back, but also fall in love. Even the secondary characters were delightful and Jimmy Bly turns out to be a good guy after all. If you enjoy a fun Regency Romance with great characters, then I recommend you pick up this book.

I loved that this story included dogs - and that the side characters had a good role to play in the story (and that their was closure to their story as well). The story had me smiling in so many parts of it - and has made me curious about the other books in the series. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Suzanne Enoch for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I originally requested this one because of how cute the cover is haha. I found it to be really fun though! It’s a really fun and cozy historical romance and I highly recommend it for people who enjoy that genre :)

Madcap multiple poodle dognappings... what a wild ride this one was. This was fun and silly but also very lovely to read. I always love Suzanne Enoch too!

Disliked the plot being driven by two identical dogs. Just kinda stupid and weird. It felt forced and thin.

Cute regency romance. I ended up mostly enjoying this book, but I couldn't get into it. Never had a state of couldn't put it down. Had elements of mystery, and great if you are a dog lover.

Originally the cover drew me in because it is SO CUTE but the story did not disappoint. This took me a second to get into and I was unsure about it after the first few chapters but the characters grew on me. Once I was in, I was all in, and I could not stop. I love a historical romance, I love comedy, and I absolutely love dogs. Mix those things together and you get a fun, cozy, and at points even silly historical rom-com with dogs and dognappers. It is almost like it was written for me. I do not know how Enoch did it but somehow she gave us a multiple POV book with multiple romances. Overall this was a delightful read, I found it the perfect vacation read. I cannot wait to read more from Suzanne Enoch.

I loved this book. I love the storyline and all of the characters and secondary characters as well. The storyline was different and the book was a bit slow in the beginning but soon picked up.
You can never go wrong with a Suzanne Enoch book.

What a delightful read! I won't lie, I was a little unsure in the first two or three chapters but these characters quickly grew on me. As did many of the side characters. Jimmy and his friends were great as well. We really got three love stories here and I loved every one of them. I also really liked that Michael and Jimmy both had so much personal growth in this book. It was refreshing. Who knew that by the end I'd love all the characters but especially the poodles.

This is a squeaky clean book, no spice. If you are looking for that, it's perfect. If you read both spicy and non-spicy books like I do, this one didn't leave me wanting. The story line, the time it takes place, and the plot; work better without spice in this book.

A historical rom-com which was silly but fun. Bonus: there are dogs involved!

This is described as a retelling of Bringing Up Baby. Two identical dogs get switched by mistake, and one (the wrong one) is dognapped. The dogs are Identical only in looks, but the exact opposite in personality. One is serious and reserved while the other is an extroverted dynamo of energy. Just like the main characters, who join forces to find the missing dog. Hilarity ensues (and no dogs are harmed).

A fun read!

This book was great, it felt fresh and not like anything else I've read lately. It kept me intrigued all the way through, I didn't want to put it down.

This is a must for all Regency and cozy mystery lovers.

Michael always has his mind on science. Elizabeth is a the diamond of London. She's would be considered the it girl. When Michael agrees to watch his aunts dog and runs into Elizabeth and her "demon dog" chaos ensues. We get chaos, dog nappers, and lots of mystery with a dose if heart.
