About this audiobook
"This is the romcom Carrie Bradshaw would have written if she were a dog person, and I'm obsessed!"—Teri Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of A Spot of Trouble
How do you start over when the biggest mistake of your life has more than one million views?
Forget diamonds—the internet is forever. Social media consultant Isla Thompson learned that lesson the hard way when she went viral for all the wrong reasons. A month later, Isla is still having nightmares about the moment she ruined a young starlet’s career and made herself the most unemployable influencer in Manhattan. But she doesn’t have the luxury of hiding until she’s no longer Instagram poison. Not when her fourteen-year-old sister, Dani, needs Isla to keep a roof over their heads. So, she takes the first job she can get: caring for Camilla, a glossy-maned, foul-tempered hellhound.
After a week of ferrying Camilla from playdates to pet psychics, Isla starts to suspect that the dachshund’s bark is worse than her bite—just like her owner, Theo Garrison. Isla has spent her career working to make people likable and here’s Theo—happy to hide behind his reputation as a brutish recluse. But Theo isn’t a brute—he’s sweet and funny, and Isla should not see him as anything but the man who signs her paychecks. Because loving Theo would mean retreating to his world of secluded luxury, and Isla needs to show Dani that no matter the risk, dreams are always worth chasing.

Reviews for The Dachshund Wears Prada
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Social media consultant Isla becomes unemployable after an unfortunate viral video. Isla takes the only job she can get—as a pet sitter for the spoiled dachshund of a reclusive billionaire. It soon becomes clear that all three are suffering from abandonment issues. Despite the way they bristle at each other, they're meant to be a family—if only they can learn to trust again.
This book is every bit as good as the cover promises it will be. It's a strong rom com with a ton of heart and endearing characters. Dachshund Camilla is more than just a prop—she's a fully fledged character in her own right, with her own arc. It's very sweet and a little heartbreaking.
Hero Theo was so relatable—he has the kind of wealth and fame that make it impossible for him to trust people. Isla's combination of aloofness and compassion is exactly what he needs to come out of his shell. He's starved for love, and Isla makes him want to feel again.
Isla is sweet and funny, strong and scared—doing her best to make a life for herself and her teenage sister. She knows falling for her boss is a mistake, but the job is supposed to be temporary after all. She does her best to stick to her principles and rebuild her dreams, even when it's hard.
This book is fun and heartwarming, moving seamlessly between the two. If you love rom com, don't miss this one.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
