About this listen

After a devastating breakup, instead of drowning in her tears, Amelia Day starts a new business. For a hefty fee, she uses the methods for training foster dogs to transform men into suitable marriage material. Her track record is impeccable until she meets perpetual bachelor Phin Baxtor. From the start, she’s confused as to why this guitar-playing hunk would even want to hire her, but she needs the money, so she takes him on.

Phin is content with working in his food truck all day and playing the field at night. But his business partner, Jay, offers him a bet he can’t refuse. If Phin can complete Amelia’s program without changing his ways, he will win Jay’s rare guitar. Certain his task will be easier than playing “Hound Dog,” he agrees to enter the program.

With Phin and Amelia spending all their time together, her techniques begin to slip past his defenses. He might become her biggest success, but falling for a client isn’t supposed to be part of the deal.

This one was yet another fun read. I definitely enjoyed the plot, especially the weird and quirky idea of a foster wife. It was both a genius and an enjoyable plot point.

The FMC, Amelia, is just so sweet. She is not the typical strong lead who can face anything without flinching. She has flaws, inhibitions, and vulnerabilities just like us. That made her very relatable and added a lot of sympathy to her character.

Incorporating dog training techniques to groom men into being more committed was indeed a genius idea. Although it felt weird at first, the storyline gradually grew on me.

I do not think there was anything particularly negative about the book. It just never felt like a five star read.

Overall, this was a light, quirky romance that entertained me and kept me engaged throughout. It may not be unforgettable, but it is definitely worth picking up if you are in the mood for something fun, unconventional, and easy to read.
