Michael Bromley, the Duke of Woriton, is a man of
science. He prefers to spend his valuable time with his experiments than
partaking in Society’s frivolities. Michael reluctantly agrees to look after
his aunt’s beloved poodle while she visits a friend. However, an incident at
the park finds him with the wrong poodle. Michael never expected to spend time
with Society’s current Diamond. Or galivanting around London in search of a dog
thief. Can Michael tolerate Bitsy’s presence? Or will opposites attract?
Elizabeth ‘Bitsy’ Dockering is the youngest daughter of a
viscount. She enjoys being Society’s Diamond of the Season. Bitsy hopes to find
a husband, one who sparks both her heart and interest. However, many of her
suitors dislike her ill-mannered pet poodle. Bitsy encounters Michael at the
park when they inadvertently swap dogs. When their poodles are dog-napped, she
and the duke partner up to find them. Michael is nothing like the swains in her
social circle. Can Bitsy and Michael overcome their differences? Will they find
the culprit behind the dog-napping?
Michael’s neurodivergence reminds me a little of Sheldon
Cooper from ‘The Big Bang Theory’. They both have that frank,
straightforwardness that others view as rude or madness. I like how Michael has
no interest in following Society’s status quo. He finds his peers’ indulgences pointless
and silly. This makes Michael an oddity among his social class. He cares little
how they view him. What I adore the most about Michael is his willingness to
help others despite his idiosyncrasies. His projects are more to help humankind
than recognition and fame.
Bitsy is Michael’s complete opposite. She enjoys spending
time with her friends and the entertainment Society has to offer. I adore how
Bitsy started to see the man beneath Michael’s aloof and prickly exterior. She
realizes there is more to him than what she and their peers believed. What I
like the most about Bitsy is how she respects and admires Michael’s intellect. She
may not understand his fascination with science; she just knows that is part of
his individual charm.
EVERY DUKE HAS HIS DAY is a standalone, historical
romance by Suzanne Enoch. I have been a fan of this author for quite a long
time. I must admit that I am liking the new direction Enoch is taking with her
stories. They have a different feel to them from her previous works. I
especially enjoy the light-hearted vibe the story gives me and the humor. I
could not help but giggle at some of the characters and poodles’ antics. I also
liked the secondary romance in the background. It was an extra bonus!
