Resumen del Editor

Needing a change of scene, Griffin Burke moves from Brisbane to Coolum Beach to start a new job. The beautiful white sand, aqua-colored ocean, blue skies, and summer breezes are everything he longs for. What he finds is a mud-covered dog, lost and hungry, with a name tag and a phone number.

Dane Hughes is stuck in Surfers Paradise at a week-long work conference when he gets a phone call from his distraught mother. His dog, his fur baby, Wicket, has run away. Unable to leave and feeling helpless and miserable, he gets a text from a guy. "I think I found your dog..."

Griffin and Dane start talking, and Griffin agrees to look after Wicket until Dane can collect him. With a few days left before his new job starts, Griffin takes Wicket on some coastal adventures and sends Dane photos of their fun, and so the start of something new and kind of wonderful begins.

Griffin might have moved to Coolum in search of a new life, but what he finds is so much more. What he gets to keep just might take some four-legged help.

Contains mature themes.

Puppy love

A love story involving two hot guys a fantastic meet cute involving a lost puppy and love so much love. This is a story that you can just sit back laugh and smile. You will not be sorry.

Cute

Very cute and simple listen! Just what I needed during these trying times. Another wonderful listen from Joel Leslie!

A sweet story.

It’s hard to imagine two more shy people than the main characters and therein lies the story’s biggest hurdle which is handled by effective dialogue and believable character development.

Excellent story!

Was on the fence about buying this, but glad that I did. A great stranger to lover story without all the angst. Well written story of how two strangers navigate the beginnings of a relationship and when is the right time to tell someone you love them.

Sweet summer story.

I love N.R. Walker and her broad variety of books. This is a good story if you like no angst and a very high sap factor. Well written but be careful you don’t get a toothache.

Adorable!!!

Pot brownies, adorable sidekick dog and hilarious dialogue. This book has it all and then some. So happy to see more M/M romance books, this story is another great one that I’ll be rereading in the future!

Sweet Treat

Sweet, sweet, sweet. If you are a dog lover, push this to the top of your TBR!

Dane's dog is lost while he's away at a conference and the little guy is found by Griffin miles away from where the dog was last seen. Fortunately, Dane's phone number is on the tag and when Griffin reaches out, their journey to happiness begins.

The story is smooth and easy, lots of dog action, lots of good times together by phone and in person and a strong attraction right from the beginning.

Having a down day? Pick this up and you will feel better as soon as you start.

Adorable, sweet and perfect!

Finders Keepers is the epitome of a cutesy and fluffy book. Though It doesn’t feel shallow or simple. It’s straightforward without any added drama. It’s also really perfect from beginning to end.

Finders Keepers is a love story through and through. The love between a man and his dog. The love between two men and the love they have for the new shared dog. The friendship with Griffin’s seventy-something landlady and her lover K, and I have to say I’m a huge fan of those two, hilarious doesn’t begin to cover it.

If there is a better (or at least cuter) meet cute than the one between Dane and Griffin you have to look pretty hard. I mean the perfect man finds and rescues your perfect runaway furbaby, and spoils said furbaby rotten. Things don’t get better than that. Ever since that first phone call where Griffin tells Dane he found Wicket safe and sound, well dirty and tired but safe, there was this instant connection between them, the men and their dog. Because let’s face it Wicket just found himself another human to wrap around his little paw. And I dare any listener not to become equally huge fans of his. Dane ad Griffin made sense, they had this innate understanding of each other. They were inevitable. I think that’s one of the reasons why their relationship didn’t have this insta-love vibe, because it wasn’t. They were just meant to be.

Just like Joel Leslie was meant to narrate this wonderful book. As always he did a fantastic job bringing this story and these characters to life. He does a wonderful Aussie accent and is able to keep it up though out. I love a good Aussie accent so it’s always a treat listening to his narrations.

Leslie is a great voice actor. I genuinely felt Danes distress when Wicket was missing, his desperation to go out searching for his furbaby and best friend. I wanted to be out there looking, and I’m not only across the world, but feeling the need to look for a missing dog – a fictional missing dog. But that’s the draw of Wicket – among other things 

I loved how Leslie portrayed Bernice and K. It was spot on. These two surfer hippies that loved their special brownies were just awesome. I could see them sitting there in the backyard, smoking pot and asking our two guys some fairly intimate questions. They were a wonderful addition to the story. I loved every single moment spent with them. They were colorful and fun – and Leslie gave them voices, life and sass.

Finders Keepers is a cutesy story about two men falling in love over a runaway dog, some special brownies and surfer hipsters. It’s a must read for all dog lovers and anyone looking for a fun summer read. It’s a book that will warmth your heart and soul.

Found it and keeping it

A delightfully sweet story with a wonderful narrator, whose acting is spot on, and a little ball of fluff that ends up helping to bring love to everyone he encounters. I loved all the characters in this story, especially Berniece and Kay, they were such a hoot. The romance is sweet and steamy. It’s a great read if you’re looking for something light and fun.

Meet Cute with a Happy Ending

Dual POV, low angst, super sexy, meet cute romance with some humor, unforgettable characters, and a very happy ending.

Joel Leslie proves once again how versatile and talented he is with numerous character voices ranging from their 20's to 80's. I don't know how he does it without breaking his voice, but it's incredible and worth the listen just for Leslie, and the bonus is the book's really good too.

Really, Finders Keepers is just a super sweet, super cute, low angst romance with the bonus of a cute dog.

I loved Bernice and K, I loved how Dane and Griffin try to go slow, but really can’t help wanting to be with each other, but mostly I love how N.R. Walker writes about normal people and situations, and how she takes every day living and shows how romance and love can be found in anything.

Finders Keepers is a cute story with some pretty hot sex and terrific narration. Recommended!
