Summary

Cara Snow is newly divorced, stuck working for a jerky boss at a pet boutique, and dreading her soon-to-be-empty nest with only her beloved corgi for company. Worse still, her ex just got engaged. Doesn’t she deserve some romance, too? Or, at least a date for the Fur Ball. She’s always enjoyed the annual pet rescue gala, but this year her ex will be there with his fiancée. Meanwhile, Cara hasn’t met anyone— other than the irresistible dogs at the boutique’s adoption events. 

Cara is shocked when her wish to fall for a man as easily as she does for those mutts summons Vincent. His velour track suit, paunchy belly, and tough-guy accent don't exactly fit her childhood image of a fairy godfather. Not exactly on top of his game, he admits to being twenty-five years late. (Her daughter Winnie is convinced he must be there for her!) Vincent does his best and casts a spell "guaranteed" to help Cara find the One. But when she actually starts meeting men, none of them are her type. If only they were as perfect for her as the dogs they adopt. Did her screw-up fairy godfather botch the spell? If so, what will it mean not only for Cara but Vincent as well?

Funny

The humour throughout is great, the storyline was good. The characters were also good. I didn’t get the “ wow this is amazing “ feeling but the humour is great and kept me listening. I do enjoy a bit of snark in my reading/listening material.

Not my usual listen

this is not one of my usual genres i listen to. But I found the work to be very enjoyable. It comes down to a doglover falling in love with strays and their owners the question is which one will stay in he heart. You'll have to listen for yourself to find out.

Fun and entertaining listen

I enjoyed listening to Cara's story. It was entertaining and funny. I found myself laughing at some of the situations that came up and at some of the things that were said. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys comedic romance reads. I liked the narrator as well. She made the book come to life in a great way. I hope to listen to more books she has read and other books by this author as well.

Fun and Sweet!

I was captivated by this magical listen. Both the author and narrator were new to me. I so enjoy it when I discover a winning combination. Part of this book was laugh out loud funny (fairy godfather Vincent) and the antics of the pups. I enjoyed the total escapism of this delightful listen. The story has some fairytale elements with a fun twist. The narrator added much to the enjoyment of this book with her enthusiasm and distinguished voices for various characters. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

really funny story

when I was offered to listen to the book I really wasn't sure if I would like it but I'm glad I took the chance on it.

The story follows a woman as she tries to find love after her ex-husband announced his engagement. she has a month or so to find a new partner to take to a ball they are both going to.

The story then takes an unexpected twist when her fairy godfather appears and says he can grant her wish.

I really enjoyed the story and didn't want to stop listening to it when I had to.

The narration was great as well which really helped me get into the story.

A great love story

A great story with some interesting characters, I loved the narration and how she changed voices so easy. So glad I got to listen as I really enjoyed it. I would definitely listen to more books by Jackie Bouchard and narrations by Aisling Gray in the future.

Stray Magic

This is the second book that I've read from the team of Jackie Bouchard and Aisling Gray and definitely my favourite of the two! The story was like a warm hug with likeable characters and lovable dogs. I was apprehensive at first that the fantasy element might override the story but it was perfect; not too subtle but also it in no way overwhelmed the story. The narration was brilliant and really bought the story to life. I'm so pleased I listened to this book and will be looking out for any future releases!

This book was given to me free of charge in exchange for a review.

Unique love story!

I enjoyed this take on a modern fairy tale, with puppies! It was such a cute twist to see Cara fall in love with every rescue at the store and how that helped them find forever homes! Her dating exploits were quite humorous as well! The narration was great and I liked the ending!!
