Every Duke Has His Day by Suzanne Enoch
5.0
"Every Duke Has His Day" by Suzanne Enoch is a delightful Regency rom-com that blends romance, comedy, and a touch of mystery, all set against the backdrop of the elegant Regency era. This audiobook receives a well-deserved 5-star rating from me for its entertaining plot, endearing characters, and witty narrative.
The story revolves around Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, a brilliant but absent-minded scientist, and Elizabeth "Bitsy" Dockering, a charming debutante known as the Diamond of the season. The misadventures begin when their black poodles, Lancelot and Galahad, are inadvertently swapped, setting off a chain of comedic events that will leave listeners in stitches.
This fusion of screwball comedy and traditional Regency romance is a delightful blend of humor and history mixed with genuine character development. Michael and Elizabeth's evolving relationship, from reluctant allies to burgeoning love, is portrayed with authenticity and charm, befitting their slow-burn romance.
The characters come to life through the outstanding narration and dynamic dual point-of-views. Michael's scientific perspective adds a unique dimension to the story, and Elizabeth's vivacity shines through, making them a compelling and engaging pair. The secondary characters, including the well-portrayed villain and the unexpected secondary romance, further enrich the narrative.
Enoch weaves historical elements into the story, immersing the listener in the world of Regency London. The science experiments conducted by the Duke of Woriton add an intriguing layer to the narrative, showcasing Enoch's attention to detail. This story will enchant fans of the genre. It offers an entertaining blend of humor, romance, and historical flavor, making it a must-listen for audiobook and a must read book.
