    About this audiobook

    Author Emily Carmichael has won three Reviewer's Choice Awards from Romantic Times for her highly charming romantic comedies. In the follow-up to her immensely popular Finding Mr. Right (L1041), Carmichael reintroduces Lydia, an angel stuck on earth in the body of a Welsh Corgi named Piggy. When Lydia finally found the perfect match for her best friend Amy, she was certain that heaven would be just around the corner. She was wrong. Blackmailed into another matchmaking, Lydia is still stuck on earth in the body of the same cute little dog. But don't underestimate her because of her small size--she's got more schemes for stalling weddings and playing Cupid than dogs have fleas. Diamond in the Ruff is as warm and enjoyable as a cozy lap. Featuring a hilarious reading by inimitable narrator Barbara Rosenblat, this book will have listeners barking with laughter.

      After having some time to think it over I still come out conflicted on my feelings for the book. On the one hand the Emily Carmichael is a very engaging and witty writer. I was drawn into the story in a snap. She has a wonderful flair for building a scene (such as the first skiing scene). I swear that was a replication of my first time on skis!
      On the other hand there was not one character that I liked. Practically everyone was mean to one another; either thinking snarky thoughts about one another or going about behind peoples backs. There was not one person that I could say I respected. Also the whole "love" situation was such a mess. We are supposed to be rooting for Joey and Ben to get together but a pretty substantial way into the book we have Ben almost fu**ing Alicia in a car...and wanting to (which for some reason made it worse for me). There is too much time spent trying to put Ben and Alicia together that for the longest time I figured that they were just going to have an open marriage.
      And don't even get me started on the vapid Piggy/Lydia...let me just say she got her just desserts.
      I could go on about the things that I don't like, but I feel that is unfair to Carmichael's superb writing style. So in summation, I found this to be an engaging read, but would I read it again... No.
      ----------------
      Original Review: Boy I'm not really sure how to feel about this....I'm going to process for a little bit then come back and review it fully.

      Emily Carmichael's cleverest creation is Piggy, the wayward Corgi. The self-described 'stumpy-legged, sausage-shaped, big-eared, stupid-looking dog' is the earthly form of Lydia - the sexy homewrecker who was killed with her lover and is trying to earn her way to heaven through Piggy's good deeds. To be honest, Carmichael's human characters are rather ho-hum and predictable; the plot is also typical romance novel fare. But Piggy does have her comic moments. So if you're looking for a way to pass a quiet evening or boring flight, the adventures of Piggy might just serve. But barely.
