Love, Chocolate, and a Dog Named Al Capone

By: Abigail Drake

Narrated by: Alex Bonner

Pride, prejudice, and a puppy! A romantic comedy from a Labrador's perspective.

Capone, the newly acquired puppy of Miss Josephine St. Clair, owner of Bartleby's Books, is a literature-loving Labrador. Obsessed with Jane Austen and cursed with a terrible name, Capone hopes to change his doggie karma and prove he's just as much a gentleman as the heroes in his favorite books by finding the perfect Mr. Darcy for the lonely and bookishly adorable Miss Josie.

Unfortunately, the only men Miss Josie seems to encounter aren't Darcys at all. They're Wickhams, Churchills, and Willoughbys. Even worse, there is trouble afoot. Someone has been sabotaging Miss Josie's business, and all signs point to her evil ex.

Can Capone find a way to save Bartleby's Books, help Miss Josie find her true love, and earn, at long last, a name befitting a true gentleman?

How Adorable 🥰🥰🥰

I loved this story! Capone is such a wonderful dog. I love his friends. what a beautiful tale of friendship, love, and of course books! I recommend!

The BEST lighthearted listen!

Oh my gosh! I was hooked from the very beginning! Capone is the perfect puppy and I want him! The author wrote a good story and the narrator voiced them, especially Capone, wonderfully!
I love this listen and hate for it to end!

Such a fun read!!

This book, being narrated by a dog, was so fun to listen to. The voices of each character was awesome. It made listening to it a delight. You’ll love the fun antics of this book!!

A fantastic hangout with a puppy

First please realize that it is romantic type story. My husband heard me laughing and wanted to know why, I said, " Capone has a voice!" He sat down to listen with me. We have laughed and we are listening together. We love it! I read the book when it came out and throughly enjoyed it! But when Alex gave Capone, Jackson, Hans and the gang a voice it was spot on perfect! He tells the story with such passion and enthusiasm my husband and I can't wait until we are together to listen to him. Alex thank you for bringing everyone's loveable hound to life with a great feel good story from our wonderful Abigail Drake!
