About this eBook

Brain meets Beauty in this sparkling, fresh take on the classic Bringing Up Baby – if Jane Austen had written it! A romantic comedy with a dash of chaos featuring the most ill-behaved poodle in Regency London, by New York Times bestseller Suzanne Enoch.

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.

This book was so darn cute and fun! I absolutely loved Michael and Bitsy! A grumpy - sunshine trope is one of my favorite tropes. The fact that Michael was a science nerd and a hermit added to my enjoyment of this story. I loved that he could be grumpy and still likable. He was actually a real sweetheart. Bitsy was exactly what Michael needed to get out of the lab. Well, her and a crazy twisted dognapping scheme that just kept getting more and more twisted.

This book is so much fun, and the audio narration adds to it. I love scientist heroes and society belles with more to them than meets the eye. That's the case here, and Michael is happily surprised to find that Bitsy isn't some bland, spoiled girl. The dognapping scenario is clever, funny, and ultimately endearing in its conclusion. If you like Regency rom com, you won't want to miss this. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I found myself utterly charmed by this book. Bitsy and Michael's story is an effervescent combination of opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine romance and mystery that takes place in a regency setting. Generous amounts of emotion, humor, sharp wittiness, and heart are woven throughout this canine kidnapping caper that will have you falling hard and fast for these incredibly lovable characters.
