The best thing about this predictable novel is the clever performances by Dan John Miller and Cassandra Campbell. Miller employs a suitably smooth, arrogant tone for Sandy, a rich and shallow New Yorker who is about to ask his wife, Emily, for a divorce when he’s hit by a car and killed. Much to his humiliation, Sandy finds himself in the body of an ugly dog named Einstein and is charged with making amends. Campbell’s Emily is more appealing. Emily is shocked to discover that her husband wasn’t an honorable man. Campbell creates multiple characters, including Emily's seductively voiced but bullying boss, Titania; her wild and unpredictable younger sister, Jordan; and her upper-class mother-in-law, who wants to evict Emily from her home. A fluffy novel is vastly improved by appealing narrators. A.B. 2012 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine

Escape on a thrilling adventure with Soneela Nankani and Andrew Eiden as they narrate this suspenseful romance. A year has passed since Simi Chopra, her assorted crew, and Jack Danger pulled off a lucrative diamond heist. Now, the Chicago Mafia boss is demanding that the jewels be returned, so Simi gets the team back together. Nankani delivers an expressive performance that emphasizes Simi's conflict between her passion for Jack and the mission. Her distinct character voices keep the listener fully immersed. Eiden's lively tone gives Jack a subtle flair and confidence that make him easy to forgive and to love.

Holiday hijinks and misunderstandings are cheerily narrated by CJ Bloom and Lee Samuels in this enemies-to-lovers romance. After kissing Anthony Russo under the mistletoe to make her longtime crush jealous, romance author Delilah Gill realizes she might have made a mistake. Anthony kisses just like the heroes she's always written about, but he has no interest in being a part of Delilah's games. Bloom's and Samuels's deliveries of the comic banter between Delilah and Anthony are supported by their portrayals of the large cast of secondary characters. This audiobook is perfect for listeners who enjoy rom-coms and small-town settings.
