Full Synopsis
An accidental dog swap unleashes an unexpected love match in this new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Julia London.

Carly Kennedy's life is in a spiral. She is drowning in work, her divorced parents are going through their midlife crises, and somehow Carly's sister convinces her to foster Baxter—a basset hound rescue with a bad case of the blues. When Carly comes home late from work one day to discover that the dog walker has accidentally switched out Baxter for another perkier, friendlier basset hound, she has reached the end of her leash.

When Max Sheffington finds a depressed male basset hound in place of his cheerful Hazel, he is bewildered. But when cute, fiery Carly arrives on his doorstep, he is intrigued. He was expecting the dog walker, not a pretty woman with firm ideas about dog discipline. And Carly was not expecting a handsome, bespectacled man to be feeding her dog mac and cheese. Baxter is besotted with Hazel, and Carly realizes she may have found the key to her puppy's happiness. For his sake, she starts to spend more time with Hazel and Max, until she begins to understand the appeal of falling for your polar opposite.

"Patterson skillfully narrates the secondary characters—from Carly's ditzy mother to Carly's brilliant but petulant fashion designer client." ---AudioFile

"Patterson's pacing is spot on throughout the story, regardless of the character. Her efforts enhance Carly's stressed and anxious persona, and add to Max's gentle and contemplative mannerisms." ---Sound Commentary

"I opted for the audio version and the narrator captured both of them very well, somehow managing to bring out their best and worst as the occasion demanded." --Blue Mood Café
