Will's True Wish

By: Grace Burrowes

Narrated by: James Langton

Will Dorning, as an earl's spare, has accepted the thankless duty of managing his rambunctious younger siblings, though Will's only true companions are the dogs he's treasured since boyhood. When aristocratic London is plagued with a series of dognappings, Will's brothers are convinced that he's the only person who can save the stolen canines from an awful fate.

Shy, bookish Lady Susannah Haddonfield has no patience with loud, smelly beasts of any species, but must appear to like dogs so as not to offend her sister's only marital prospect. Susannah turns to Will, an acquaintance from her most awkward adolescent years, to teach her how to impersonate a dog fancier. Will has long admired Susannah, though he lacks the means to offer for her, and, yet, as they work together to rescue the purloined pets, it's loyal, dashing Will who steals Susannah's heart.

Contains mature themes.

Calling all 🐶 lovers

Good sweet story. But if you’re a dog lover, this is definitely the book for you. Hero is a Champions of dogs 🐕 and a blue stocking wall flower.

Nice bit of fluff

Witty, woofy, and weirdly cute. All characters were well developed and their behaviors supported the storyline and created interest and anticipation. Enjoyed Willow’s family and their interactions. Nice use of canines in the development of the intrigue. All in all I would recommend.

love it

love how the dogs were a real part ogthe story cant wait for the brothers stories

Oh my goodness

I’ve never read such a book. It was laugh-out-loud funny in many places. You know, I never thought about dogs during the 1800’s. Interesting perspective. Is there a sequel?

Enjoyable

The story was told well and truly enjoyed it from beginning to end. The narration was good
