Resumen del Editor

Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, has a passion, but it’s not for chasing ladies or gambling till dawn. No, his is the far more dangerous pursuit of the science of chemistry. He may be a tad eccentric, but he can navigate a society ballroom, and manage a polite conversation—if he must. He’s certainly capable of taking care of his aunt’s perfectly behaved poodle, Lancelot, while she’s on holiday.

Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering, third daughter of a viscount, is enjoying her second spectacular Season in London. She is a Diamond of the Season and is adored by all—and especially by her precious black poodle, Galahad. To everyone else, however, Galahad is a demon dog. So much so that Bitsy’s most insistent beau and particular victim of Galahad’s bad manners has hired a thief to steal the dog, clearing the way for his suit.

But none of them can plan for a chaotic encounter in the park, resulting in lost notes, a soaking in the Serpentine, and an accidental dog swap…and Lancelot being kidnapped instead of Galahad! Determined to locate the dog, Michael isn’t thrilled to be saddled with a flighty female insisting on helping, except that Bitsy has a great deal more sense than he expected—and a sharp tongue to match. Still, what’s a scientist to do but continue to pursue an outcome, however unexpected it may be? But chemistry is all about attraction, and this is one formula with some hilariously romantic results.

Delightful!

The author takes her time to develop characters you care about. The plot has twists and lots of humor. Well done!

Pretty good story!

This was a pretty good story—if a bit long. I enjoyed the main couple, and the secondary couple as well.

You had me at grumpy /sunshine!

I really enjoyed this grumpy sunshine/opposites attract story. The narrator did a wonderful job distinguishing between characters consistently and really brought the characters to life.

Only Poodles!!!

I wanted to read this from the first time I saw it on the Good Reads give aways. It’s cute, entertaining, and full of my favorite dog Poodles! Thank you for writing this book!

She, Positive. He, Negative. Together, Electric!

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.

Duke's day

It was ok not one of her best ,too much science wish I could have gotten audio from the public library also did not like the narrator.

I really enjoyed this particularly well written novel

Not only is the book well plotted, the narrator is excellent. Enoch plausibly incorporates number of threads in the plot, from the Evil narcissist, an isolated genius hero and to a very likable heroine. Aspects of the class system enrich the plot as well. Altogether most satisfactory.
