I’m not a huge regency reader but this was so fun! The romance is swoony and the laughs are loud! This is a great easy to read palate cleanser and I highly recommend

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What great fun! Our Duke, Michael, is a successful scientist. He's one of those absentminded guys who forgets to eat if his butler doesn't knock on the door. There's a Do Not Disturb sign on the door but it's always there so Huston knocks anyway. He's kind so he agrees to watch his beloved Aunts poodle while she's off visiting a friend. The high jinks start on the first day. Mistaken poodle identity, attraction which puzzles Michael, tracking down a thief,. Michael turns out to be a good detective because he pays attention to details. He's a blast. She's fun too but I think he's the star. It gets a very rare 5 stars from me.

This was a very fun, light book to read. I will say, I feel like it was almost more focused on the dogs at time rather than the romance (which, depending on how much you like dogs it may not be a bad thing). The only other thing I will say is I cannot give you a single description of any character. I don't know if I just blew past it when reading, or if there really is minimal character descriptions.
If you like dogs and Bridgerton, you will probably really enjoy this book.

This was the first book by Suzanne Enoch I have read and now I am a fan! What was there not to like! Romance, Regency, hunky mad scientist curmudgeon, and feisty heroine. Add in adorable poodles, and a fun subplot and I didn’t want to put it down. Did I mention laugh-out-loud humor and gorgeous settings? How about swoony kisses and such smart writing. The scene where Michael and Elizabeth interview people while looking for their dogs is side-splitting. This novel would make a terrific movie, pretty please. I think this might be my favorite book this year, and a must-read for anyone that wants to be absolutely delighted. If I could give it more than five stars I would.

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch

This book has me laughing, loving, crying, and oh lalala moments. Great book! You meet a Duke and his arch-enemy in a tale of finding the lost dog! What can go wrong? This is beautifully written and laugh out loud, I mean literally, I actually laugh myself silly. I couldn't get enough. 10/10

Every Duke Has His Day is a story following Michael Bromley, the odd Duke of Woriton, and Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering, the society darling, as they set off on an adventure to recover their beloved poodles, Lancelot and Galahad. While working together to bring the pups home, the two wind up discovering more than just where the poodles have gone.

This was such an enjoyable read! Suzanne Enoch writes such fun and quirky plots, while also bringing in believable romance and chemistry. I liked reading about a Duke who didn’t adhere to societal norms (also, he seemed a bit neurodivergent coded to me, which I loved), and didn’t care to adhere to them. He was “weird” and liked it that way. I also enjoyed that Elizabeth also followed the path of not really caring about what society wanted, though she seemed to battle with it a bit more than Michael did. It felt more like Elizabeth wanted to be involved in society because she genuinely enjoyed it, not because she felt obligated to.

The thing that really got me about this book, though, was the plot line of the poodle-napping. Honestly I thought it was so unique, and I really found myself invested in the outcome. I loved where it wound up going (I promise, no spoilers!), and that we got some really interesting side character viewpoints as well. It was like a mystery, a romance, and a quirky read all wrapped into one! I also really appreciate the research that must have went into writing this book as well, with the science that Michael was involved in. Super excellent.

Overall, this was a 4.5 star read for me, and I’d highly recommend it to any other historical romance/mystery lovers out there!

4.5 rounded up. This is my first read from Enoch, but I loved how easy it was to jump right into it. I really enjoyed how Duke Woriton was a nice grumpy MMC and that Elizabeth was a great FMC who was both adorable and it made sense why she was such a popular gal. Their meet cute definitely gave me 101 Dalmatians vibes which I ADORED, and I loved that this had so many different POVs to follow! Jimmy and Sally's romance as the secondary couple really stole the show for me, and the dognapping shenanigans was a fun plot to navigate through. Honestly, the chemistry between Bitsy and Michael weren't as strong to me as Jimmy/Sally, but it was still great! On top of that, I actually loved Peter as a villain and it is kind of a shame he was the way he was as his dedication to try to win over Bitsy was definitely...a bit admirable, tbh. 😂 In another world, he could've stolen my heart -- particularly if he wasn't so adamant about his hatred towards dogs. Perfect for dog lovers and loved this was a relatively quick read! Definitely looking forward to trying another title from this author!

Gorgeous book!!!! Beautiful story!!!!

Thank you soooooo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗
"I voluntarily read and reviewed the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

A delightful read. While some parts were quite predictable, it was lighthearted and fun. The little twist at the end was a pleasant and welcome surprise. I've read this author's books for years and plan on continuing the trend in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's press for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own! (:

Bridgerton meets Bringing up Baby and 101 Dalmatians in this romantic comedy that begins with Elizabeth Dockering (diamond of the season) and Duke Michael Woriton accidentally swapping dogs (two identically groomed, large, black poodles), during a very soggy meet-cute.

What follows is an absolutely delightful romp through regency era England, filled with witty comebacks, poodles, a smarmy poodle-napping villain, and a grumpy-meets-sunshine romance.

This was my first Suzanne Enoch book (I'm still very new to the romance genre), but I definitely want to read more!

**Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC of the book. All opinions are my own**

It’s a light entertainment regency romance. The main characters Miss Elizabeth Dockering and the Duke of Woriton, Michael Bromley get acquainted in a chaotic meet-cute where their dogs are accidentally exchanged. It is followed by series of entertaining episodes of dog antics, sassy butler, a sweet romance story between Jimmy Bly and Sally Pangle and of course the beautiful scientific theories that turned into romantic snippets.

The main characters are developed well as the book progresses however, some of the minor details could be much improved.

Listen, as a dog groomer as soon as I saw poodles 🐩, I HAD to read this. And it did not disappoint. I loved the 4+ POVS! That was unexpected but really helped give you all of the perspectives. I loved our MMC was different and just said whatever he thought, rather then sticking to what is “appropriate”. I was a little surprised to find out who the dog napped was so early on, but I loved having the story from Botha sides. From the poodle standpoint, this was spot on. I loved how she explained the haircuts and dog’s personalities. The ending is HEA and exactly what I wanted! I am usually hit or miss on historical romances, but I loved this.

This was such a cute book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved watching the MC's slowly fall for each other and not knowing that the other, too, was also falling. And the ending was just PERFECT! Not only so we get a HEA (for basically everyone, not just the MCs), but we get to watch the bad guy get run out of town. What's better than that?

I'll tell you what's better than that...PUPPIES 🤣

I adored this book. I loved the Bringing Up Baby influences, I loved how the main characters’ relationship and how they evolved as people, I loved Jimmy and Sally, and I loved the dogs. It’s not easy to pull off a plot line with dognappings—who wants to read about dogs being in danger? But Ms. Enoch did it and even made the dognapper a likable character. This books was full of humor and heart, and the real villain of the piece got his just rewards. The epilogue was just the icing on the cake. I smiled the entire time I read this book; it was the most delightful romance I’ve read in a while. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC; all opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed the capers around the dognapping investigation, which was a trope I never knew I needed to read! Lots of likable side characters, some 19th century science, and an unexpected sweet surprise in the epilogue also made this a really fun read. This was my first Suzanne Enoch book, but I’m bumping Something in the Heir up my TBR list now. Thank you NetGalley!

Every Duke Has His Day is a delightfully witty historical romance. As a rom-com, there is plenty of fun interactions between our two main characters. Michael Bromley is the Duke of Woriton and is not interested in society, choosing to focus all his attention on his passion for science. Elizabeth (Bitsy) Dockering is the daughter of a Viscount and her attention is highly sought after this season. After Michael is given the job of dog sitting his sisters prized Poodle Lancelot, an unexpected run in with Bitsy and her poodle Galahad occurs. This sets off chain of events that places Michael and Bitsy on a common path to find a dog napper. I enjoyed the element of adventure in the story as Michael reluctantly at first works with Bitsy to track down the dog napper. These two are opposites, but the more time they spend together, it is easy to see that they are right for each other. The story utilized the element of a bad guy in a charming way. It was fun to route for him to get what he deserved.
This story is perfect for regency romantic comedy fan who like a little mystery and adventure thrown in.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

"Every Duke Has His Day" by Suzanne Enoch

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5 stars)

In "Every Duke Has His Day" by Suzanne Enoch, readers are treated to a sparkling and witty regency romance, where brains meet beauty and love finds its way amidst chaos and canine capers. Drawing inspiration from classic tales like "Bringing Up Baby" and the wit of Jane Austen, Enoch's novel delivers a delightful romantic comedy that will surely appeal to fans of Bridgerton and Pride and Prejudice.

Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, may not be your typical aristocrat chasing after ladies and indulging in frivolous pastimes. Instead, he immerses himself in the intriguing world of chemistry. While eccentric in his pursuits, Michael is surprisingly adept at navigating the complexities of society, including managing his aunt's impeccably behaved poodle, Lancelot.

Elizabeth "Bitsy" Dockering, a Diamond of the Season, captures the attention of London's elite with her charm and beauty. However, her precious black poodle, Galahad, is a different story. Lovable to Bitsy, Galahad is considered a terror to everyone else, especially her most persistent suitor who resorts to extreme measures to get rid of the dog.

When a chance encounter in the park leads to a mix-up involving lost notes and an accidental dog swap, chaos ensues. Determined to find Lancelot, Michael finds himself reluctantly joined by the spirited and quick-witted Bitsy. As they embark on a quest to recover the missing poodle, chemistry of a different kind begins to spark between them, leading to hilariously romantic results.

Enoch's writing exudes the charm and elegance of the Regency era, creating a vivid backdrop for the comical escapades of the characters. The chemistry between Michael and Bitsy is undoubtedly the highlight of the novel, and their banter is a joy to witness. Readers who revel in the dance of verbal sparring between headstrong leads will find much to enjoy in their dynamic.

While "Every Duke Has His Day" offers an enjoyable romance with entertaining moments, it occasionally falls short in fully exploring the potential of its characters and plot. Some aspects of the story may feel familiar, especially to fans of Austen and similar period romances.

In conclusion, if you're in the mood for a charming and light-hearted regency romance with endearing characters and a mischievous poodle, "Every Duke Has His Day" is a delightful choice. While it may not break new ground, its playful banter and romantic allure make it a good match for those who appreciate the magic of Bridgerton and the wit of Jane Austen

This was my first book by this author, and I can say it definitely will not be my last! It was super cute, and I really enjoyed it!

Michael, the Duke of Woriton, is an eccentric aristocrat obsessed with photovoltaic technology. He prefers to isolate hydrogen in his laboratory rather than interact with high society. Bitsy Dockering is one of the Season's jewels, beloved by the ton and her suitor Sir Peter Cordray. Michael and Bitsy accidentally meet when their poodles Galahad and Lancelot become entangled at Hyde Park. The two take an immediate dislike to one another based on poor first impressions. A case of mistaken dog identity and a mysterious dog-napping force Michael and Bitsy to work together to find the dogs and discover their attraction along the way.

This was a really cute read! It was surprisingly low-angst, even with the dog-napping plot. I loved the neurodiverse representation and it was refreshing to read about Bitsy's supportive parents. This is a low steam book with only two kisses on page, but there was still a decent level of chemistry between Michael and Bitsy. Their witty banter made up for the lack of steam. The side characters made this novel a true gem; Michael's sassy valet and butler bring comedic relief and the dog-nappers are surprisingly wholesome. All-in-all an enjoyable, lighthearted historical!

What a cute Regency Era Romance

Grumpy scientist Duke agrees to take care of his aunts black poodle 🐩 Lancelot while she is away. While walking in the park, a near identical dog gets mixed up his. Elizabeth “Bitsy” accidentally takes home the well behaved Lancelot instead of her grouchy and overprotective poodle Galahad. When Lancelot is stolen from her bedroom, they embark on a journey to find the missing poodle.

I love that these two come together while searching for their pets that have been stolen. I like that while they are different they enjoy each others company. There are humorous moments and funny dialogue.

I would have liked to see a little more of him realizing he loved her. The ending was just like he suddenly realized he missed her instantly asks her to marry him. I did love the epilogue.
