Finding Mr. Right

By: Emily Carmichael

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Finding Mr. Right is a heartwarming tale for romantics and animal lovers. Amy Cameron has had a run of incredibly bad luck. Her husband and best friend are murdered, together, because they were having an affair - then her house burns to the ground!

The last thing Amy needs is another man. But her deceased, traitorous, gal-pal is sent back to Earth to make up for her indiscretion and find Mr. Right for Amy. The only catch - she comes back as a ratty, little Welsh Corgi named Miss Piggy.

Critic reviews

"Carmichael's latest has the irresistible warmth and charm of a newborn puppy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Cute romance with some twists

Would you consider the audio edition of Finding Mr. Right to be better than the print version?

I like the convenience of audiobooks. I can be walking the dog or driving while listening. I think the narrator of this and other Carmichael books is wonderful how she brings life to the characters with different inflections of here voice for each. In particular the voice of Lidia Keen is so funny and filled with attitude.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lidia/Piggy just the idea of the spirit gorgeous woman being inside the body of a corgi is funny. How the character is so insulted by dog habits and the restrictions that she has considering the task put upon her.

Which character – as performed by Barbara Rosenblat – was your favorite?

Roberta Roe in a Ghost for Maggie.
In this book Lidia.

Any additional comments?

I like Emily Carmichael writing for a fun read. There is romance the sex scene (only one or two per book) are tasteful and don't go into graphic detail. And the twist of the mystery is great way to balance the romance and humor. Also personally I liked reading a book set in Colorado since I live here.

Such a cute story!

I really enjoyed this story! Especially from the perspective of Miss Piggy. This is a fun listen. Barbara Rosenblat really does a great job narrating!

Otherwise Good Book made Smutty

A good book was ruined by too much sex detailing. It had a good plot and characters. The kissing scene details on the hike were sufficient. When the vet stayed to protect her later on--let the reader use his own imagination. Too much swearing also. One or two cuss words would be sufficient to get the point across. It would have been a classy book without the author trying to tittelate her readers.

Very fun and inventive story

This was a great summer listen. I enjoyed the unique plot, and I thought the writer had some great, new ideas in this story line. The characters were extremely easy to follow, and the narrator was very good at differentiating between them. The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing out the humor in this work of fantasy fiction. The character of the leading dog, Miss Piggy, was especially entertaining and very well performed. I would recommend this story to anyone who has ever wondered what goes on in the mind of his or her own pet.

Doggie story

Enjoyed the story. it was a great escape from reality. Recommend it, even if you don't care for dogs!
