Every Duke Has His Day

De: Suzanne Enoch

Narrado por: Mark Meadows

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.

Mark Meadows makes this fun story memorable

I always like the play of opposites. Who could be more different from the society darling and diamond of two seasons than a rude, antisocial Duke only interested in science? Bitsy is warm, gracious and beautiful. Michael is tall, formidable and downright offensive. He doesn’t believe that anyone in the ton is worthy of his time or attention. Bitsy/Elizabeth is kind and welcoming to everyone. But when first one black poodle is stolen and then a second one, Elizabeth and the dour Michael team up to recover them and find that opposites produce electricity! Darling and fun. Mark Meadows superbly portrays all the eccentric and often lovable characters in the ‘poodlegate’.

Very good

Very predictable but great execution from the author and overall very satisfied with the work 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.

Excellent writing and low spice

Clever, funny and cute, this PG rated romance is good fun and in the style of Georgette Heyer. Loved it

Delightful!

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