Wild Goose Chase

By: Sarah Adler

Narrated by: Mara Wilson, Dan Bittner, Therese Plummer

An antique dealer and his inconvenient(ly irresistible) new colleague must contend with an illicit stuffed goose and their sizzling attraction, from USA Today bestselling author Sarah Adler.

Antique store owner Callahan Leitner has an illegal taxidermy goose in his living room.

Why? It’s…complicated.

But it may end his career unless he finds a legitimate way to dispose of the bird ASAP. Except, there’s an unexpected wrench in his plans—the frustrating, effervescent Annie O’Neill.

Annie is happy to fill in for her uncle at his antique store; it’s the perfect opportunity to gain more experience before opening a shop of her own, plus she'll finally meet his handsome young business partner. Unfortunately, Cal is nothing like the charming man she expected. She’s tempted to take his apparent dislike personally, until she stumbles upon the source of his moodiness: the contraband waterfowl hidden upstairs.

When the goose goes missing, both of their professional reputations are on the line. As Cal and Annie attempt to track down the bird before it can be traced back to the store, their tentative alliance turns into something much deeper. Will the hunt for their felonious fowl lead to true love, or end in ruin?

The narrators were amazing!

The audiobook narrators did an amazing job with this book. That's the only reason I made it to the end. The plot was lacking something. The interactions between Annie and Callahan didn't feel organic. Their emotions and actions were changing really fast and out of the blue. The moment when Callahan described "finding Annie" to "finding a great rug" was so cringy...I know they were working at an antique store, but it was just too much.
