Book friends!!!!

I finished EVERY DUKE HAS HIS DAY in like five hours (yes, I went to bed after midnight, and it was sooooooo worth it), as I could not put it down!!! It checks off all the boxes and more (see my graphic for all the reasons you should read this one too).

In all honesty, I’m not sure about this title 😕, but the characters, the story, the adventure, the slow burn romance between these two is chefs kiss. 💋

EVERY DUKE HAS HIS DAY is such a fun read that readers will be hooked from the very first page, unable to put this one down, and only want to reach the ending, to have the answer to that burning question: if Elizabeth and Michael will have their happily ever after.

If you love a good regency romance with a quirky scientist who happens to be a Duke and the social butterfly of the Season whose looking for a husband, but can’t make up her mind just yet, grumpy + sunshine trope, AND both of their dogs get stolen, and they team up to try and find them, then add this one to your collection asap.

Make sure to pre-order this one book friends.

Happy Reading ~ Cece

Suzanne Enoch is an author that I admire. I just knew that I would love this one, and I wasn't wrong. I came straight here to give a review after reading. First, Michael is such a lovable character. The science man meets the beautiful diamond of the season was such a fun trope, and the dogs were so cute, I loved Lancelot and Galahad so much. This book was both hilarious and sweet. It was a definite must read.

Enoch did a wonderful job with this little gem. Every Duke Has His Day is a clean, modern day royalty romance. It was a quick summer read. The characters were well developed. I can't say that I had a favorite, but the Dukes eccentricity won me over immediately. He doesn't like people for the most part. He's a grumpy scientist who would rather be in his study experimenting than with others that complement his lifestyle. One day when a dog he is watching crashes into a woman and her dog at a park nearby and that all changes. Michael and Elizabeth are seemingly very different. One is a grump, the other impossibly bubbly and always full of sunshine and optimism.
If you like regency, rom coms, clean romance, or books with dogs, this is a book for you!

4.5 Stars
If you are a rom-com junkie type who also loves Regency-era books or the Bridgerton series then this is one you will want to read. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I thoroughly enjoyed having the tension of a modern rom-com with two characters who appear to be opposites but are actually quite similar. Suzanne did an excellent job of keeping the characters true to the time period while keeping it fresh and relatable to people today. The banter was great but I just adored Galahad and his antics, he was my absolute favorite. If you love stories that incorporate animals that have a larger than life personality you will probably be team Galahad as well.

Thank you, NetGalley, Suzanne Enoch, and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Charming regency romance and then add in poodles and you've stolen a lot of hearts! The rom-com is sweet and transports you to a time much different than the one we live in now. It was an easy read and very enjoyable.

Cute and fun! Definitely gave me Bringing Up Baby vibes! And I loved it!
Both MCs opening scenes made me love them. I may be partial to the duke though ;) He’s so grumpy and consumed with science, I can’t help but love him! :D

If you’re a regency romcom lover-read this!
If you’re a dog lover-read this!
So yeah, just read it :D

Adorable meet cute.
Naughty pets.
Pet lovers abound.
Pulls at your heartstrings.
Definite meet cute of a brain and a beauty (who knows she’s meant for more) a charming villain, a guy down on his luck doing bad things to make ends meet and a female moral compass (aren’t we all?)
Slow burn with miscommunication and intellectual romance.
Every duke has its day is great for people who want love and emotional and intellectual romance and not physical romance. I loved that the duke was socially challenged, but incredibly respectful while honest (a bit brutally at times).
I would definitely recommend this book if it falls within your preferences!

Super fun! I really enjoyed this book. The main characters are fun. I loved the dogs. Secondary characters add a lot to the story. The villain gets his comeuppance. Just all around a great book!

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch was a funny and enjoyable read. I’m always looking for clean romance and this book didn’t disappoint! I had just found and enjoyed Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch and so was very excited to read this book. I want to thank NetGalley, Suzanne Enoch, and St Martin’s Press for allowing me to enjoy this book before it is published.

I love this genre of books, and this was one of the first ones I’ve found that centered around pets and I absolutely loved this addition to a story.

This book is not part of a series, which I enjoyed – I do like a series, but I also enjoy just reading a book for the enjoyment of itself, not always wanting to have to wait to continue people’s stories!

Potential Spoilers:

The opening scene reminded me a bit of 101 Dalmatians, but the story was all its own! This was a classic Rom-Com of dog meets dog, boy meets girl. When a mix-up occurs, bringing the two main characters together, the story really takes off. I loved the electricity comparison of Elizabeth (Bitsy, the daughter of a Viscount) & Michael (eccentric Duke) and how even when they don’t appear to be right for each other on the surface, they each bring out the best in each other. I loved to hate Peter and I do wish his being found out at the end would have been harsher! The redemption story of Jimmy was a nice addition. I loved the ending to his story!

Fun historical rom com. I absolutely adored this book. The concept was interesting and refreshing and writing style quite good.

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch is a delightful and charming romantic comedy set in Regency London. The story revolves around Michael Bromley, the eccentric Duke of Woriton, and Elizabeth "Bitsy" Dockering, a Diamond of the Season. When their well-behaved poodles, Lancelot and Galahad, are accidentally swapped, Michael and Bitsy find themselves embarking on a chaotic adventure to find the missing dog. As they navigate comical situations and unexpected twists, their initial differences give way to a surprising chemistry and a gradually blossoming romance.

Enoch's novel stands out for its enchanting storytelling and the absence of explicit content, allowing the characters and plot to shine on their own merits. The dual points of view and well-rounded supporting characters provide additional depth to the story. The concept of the dog swap adds excitement and intrigue, keeping readers engaged as Michael and Bitsy search for their furry companions. While some moments may come across as overly silly or cheesy, and the romance occasionally takes a backseat to the dog-centric plot, the book's endearing characters, witty dialogue, and heartwarming tale make it an enjoyable summer read.

My in-depth review will be posted online closer to release date

England - 19th Century

The Duke of Woriton, Michael Bromley, is known in the ton as being a bit eccentric. While he performs the required duties of a duke, his entire world revolves around studying electricity. Rarely seen in public or at social events, Woriton is, however, devoted to his aunt, the Lady Mary. It's thanks to her that Woriton now finds himself having to deal with the public, and a certain young woman. Lady Mary is away and has left her beloved poodle, Lancelot, in Woriton's care. What could go wrong?

Young Elizabeth Dockering, Bitsy to her friends, is the youngest daughter of a viscount. As this is her second Season, Bitsy is enjoying being the belle of each ball, with eligible men flocking to her side. She also enjoys walks with her poodle, Galahad, a dog who is totally devoted to her, but despises everyone else. A chance encounter in the park with the not-so-sociable Duke of Woriton who is walking his aunt's dog, results in a brief, but memorable conflagration. Somehow the two dogs get switched, and each goes home with the wrong person!

Meanwhile, Lord Peter Cordray is in dire need of a rich bride, and Miss Dockering fits that bill. However her vicious dog must be dealt with, so Cordray hires Jimmy Bly from the streets to kidnap Galahad. The only problem is that it's Lancelot who is in Bitsy's room, and now the story gets complicated.

Woriton is known in Society for his blunt talk, and his lack of care for its results. But he is learning to be less blunt and more thoughtful as he and Bitsy work out the dog issue. Never having put much thought into finding a wife, Woriton is suddenly finding himself thinking about the lovely girl with the open and honest approach to life. And Bitsy, now wanting to be called by her full name, feels the need to try and understand the formerly unapproachable duke!

Will there be a happy ending to the dog-napping situation? And will Woriton and Elizabeth discover what are each other's honest traits? A sometimes humorous tale, EVERY DUKE HAS HIS DAY is a delightful romance with a twist.

A fantastic story filled with suspense, skull duggery, love and happiness. Elizabeth and Michael make a great pair that balance each other out. Loved this book.

Thank you to St. Martins Press and Suzanne Enoch for an advanced copy of this book!

I was really not the intended audience for this book and I knew that going into it, seeing as I am not a huge fan of regency romances. That being said, I did think it was a fun read. I also found it easier to get through than most of the other regency era novels I’ve read.

I really liked both Elizabeth and Michael and I thought their relationship was very sweet. I also thought it was interesting to get things not only from their POV but also from Peter and Jimmy. The only thing that l would really say is that I feel like we lost a bit of the romance build up in the search for the dogs.

This was a fun and charming regency romance. Cute concept with the dogs being swapped and searching for the missing pup. I enjoyed the story overall but it was a little too silly at times which made it feel cheesy. I have read and enjoyed other stories by this author.

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch is a fun read for lovers of Regency era romances.
The main characters Michael and Bitsy team together to recover Michael’s Aunt’s dog when it is dognapped from Bitsy’s home. (They had mistakenly taken each other’s dog home after a kerfluffle in the park)

They are attracted to each other and this book plays out their romance in non-spicy fashion, which while I kept waiting for the spiciness to kick in, I have to admit it didn’t make me dislike the book when it was tame throughout.

Ms. Enoch kept the characters on their feet with each other through the entire book – neither was looking to fall for each other, but they just couldn’t help it and it was fun to be along for their journey.
I’ve not read any of Ms. Enoch’s other books, but I am definitely going to check them out now.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review. All opinions are strictly my own.

This was a charming Regency romantic comedy. When Michael and Elizabeth walk almost identical black poodles in the park, and one of the dogs is stolen soon after, the pair get together to find the missing dog. I loved how the duo, seemingly very different, had such complimentary personalities. And I enjoyed the romance between Jimmy and Sally as well. And of course I loved the poodles.

I also liked that this book was one I could recommend to my mother or sisters without worrying about content. And I know they'd enjoy it :)

Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch is a silly little Regency novel about poodles and their owners. Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton is a chemist who has taken on care of his aunt's poodle. Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering is a debutante and owner of a vicious poodle and when their poodles are accidentally switched in an attempt to steal Bitsy's dog by a thwarted suitor, chaos ensues and the silliness begins. I enjoy a good Regency novel but I found this one was just a little bit over the top, tipping into ridiculous. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a cute book! This was the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed it. The story was different from anything I've read recently and really captured my attention. It was so well written and the characters were fantastic.

I loved this Regency story by Suzanne Enoch! 'Every Duke Has His Day' is a charming story of Bitsy and Michael, and how they change each other's lives. The kidnapped poodle story line is hilarious. In fact the whole book is filled with laugh out loud, delightful dialogue. It didn't have spice (which I LOVED) and I hope there is more to come!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
