Suzanne Enoch - Every Duke Has His Day

“You said you believed you were rude, which you were. A statement of fact is not, in fact, an apology.”

This book took me far longer to read than it should have due to my pet’s antics. I found my cat hanging from the chandelier panic-inducing enough. No dog-napping was required. In any case, the furry critters are well worth checking this book out for, and their owners as well.

Suzanne is a mistress of sweet romantic comedy, and this book is a genre highlight. There were more than a few laugh-out-loud moments for me. The cast is well-played, especially Huston (Michael’s long-suffering butler). Peter is the discordant note among the characters, and that helps to highlight his villainy. The fur babies steal the show, though.

I enjoyed watching Michael and Bitsy’s romance bloom as they scampered around London searching for the missing dogs. Watching them realize their first impressions were incorrect was highly entertaining. Michael was not the stodgy curmudgeon society labeled him, and Bitsy isn’t a flighty nitwit. Watching them dance around each other as they realized that had me giggling.

Jimmy and Sally were a fun side-pairing. It is unusual for supporting pairs to be from the lower class, but it is an excellent change from the norm. Seeing the difference in outlook between the two couples made an interesting contrast. As the number of dogs around them increased, the chaos in their lives was fun to watch.

Lancelot, Galahad, Pickle, Bob, and Jenny were all highly amusing in their unique ways. I loved seeing animals highlighted in a novel. I can’t remember the last one with such prominent animal characters outside the fantasy genre. Their antics kept me smiling through to the end.

I highly recommend picking this book up for a light-hearted, sweet romantic comedy. This book was a delightful change of pace from the typical skirt-chasing male lead and was everything I expected from a Suzanne Enoch book.
