Pupcakes Audiobook Summary

Sit! Stay! Speak! author Annie England Noblin’s novel takes one woman starting over, adds an aging pug named Teddy Roosevelt, and proves the power of a well-baked dog treat.

All she wants is a settled-down life.

What she gets is a dog–and a whole new normal . . .

There he stood in the doorway: overweight, depressed and nearly homeless–a pug named Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was Brydie Benson’s latest problem, arriving on top of her messy divorce and sudden move. Brydie needed a place to start over, so this rent-free home seemed a great idea. She just never counted on Teddy, or his owner, the Germantown Retirement Village’s toughest customer, Pauline Neumann.

And because rent-free doesn’t mean bills-free, Brydie gets a night-shift job at a big-box grocery. Whoever guessed there were so many people who wanted baked goods after midnight?

Then, she gets an idea–why not combine her baking skills with her new-found dog knowledge? And so her store Pupcakes is born. Along with a new start comes a possible new love, in the form of Nathan Reid, a local doctor with a sassy Irish Wolfhound named Sasha. And as fall turns to winter, and then to Christmas, Brydie begins to realize that life is a little bit like learning a new recipe for puff pastry–it takes a few tries to get it just right!

This cute cover! Teddy Roosevelt was adorable! This was a quick, fun read! There isn't really an emphasis on Christmas until the end -- "Pupcakes" doesn't come into play until the very end, as well. I knocked it down a star because the storyline was just a little bit predictable.

Pupcakes is not only for the dogs but for dog lovers as well! I could not put this book down. I was having such a grand time reading this book. Literally, I finished this book in a matter of a couple of hours. Everyone that I was introduced to in this book I fell in love with. Brydie, Nathan aka Dr. Sexy, Pauline (Teddy's owner), Teddy, and Sasha. I have never owned a pug but after reading this book, my next dog may have to be a pug. Brydie needed Teddy just as much as Teddy needed her. Plus, you could not ask for a better taste tester than Teddy. Pauline is such a sweetheart. She may have been moved to a facility but the lady she had spunk. You could say that Brydie and Teddy made quite the impression on Nathan at their first visit. Teddy puked all over Nathan's shoes with Brydie and Teddy doing a "hit and run". There are so many enjoyable moments in this book like the moment when one of the residents ate a dog treat or the moment involving the dog birthday.

Pupcakes by Annie England Noblin is my latest seasonal read and it really is as cute as its cover. This is the story of recently-divorced Brydie Benson, who moves to Memphis to be closer to her friend and finds herself in need of an a low-cost place to live. When she happens upon Pauline Newmann’s offer of living rent-free in her large furnished home, Brydie can hardly believe her luck. But there is a catch: Brydie has to agree to take care of Pauline’s beloved pug, Teddy Roosevelt, and she has to agree to bring him to see Pauline every Sunday in her retirement home.This story is so charming! I absolutely loved reading it. Pupcakes is a great story for the fall and holiday season because the story takes place in over three months-October, November, and December.I love Teddy Roosevelt. He is a small pug, but he is a large character in this book. Teddy is a little bit on the depressed side at the beginning of the book, when he comes into Brydie’s care. She barely knows what to do with him because she’s never had a dog before, but the two gradually warm up to one another and become very close. Eventually Teddy becomes happier and healthier.I love the relationship that Brydie grows to share with Teddy and the relationship Teddy shares with his original owner, Pauline. I also love the way Teddy unknowingly helps Brydie meet other people and form new relationships, since it is initially hard for her to put herself out there again after her divorce. This begins when Brydie takes Teddy to a nearby dog park so he can exercise. As he plays with other dogs, she is able to meet their owners. This is actually where she meets her eventual love interest, Nathan Reid-during their first encounter, there is a humorous scene involving dog vomit on Nathan’s shoes.Even though this is a fun holiday story, there is also a coming-of-age-again that happens for Brydie. After leaving her previous marriage, she finds herself having to relearn who she really is. She redefines herself. She cuts her hair. She gets a job that she probably never would have gotten before being divorced-in the bakery of a grocery store, on night shift!-and this helps to re-ignite her love for baking.The baking part of the story is really fun. Brydie begins to bake treats for Teddy because he doesn’t like dog food and because she just loves to bake. She shares the dog treats with other dogs and they become popular at the dog park and with her dog-owning friends. Then she tries new recipes for pup-treats based on human recipes. She gives her excess cookies, etc away and begins taking new orders. The more she bakes, the happier Brydie is. It’s honesly so nice to read about a person finding herself again after a traumatic event like a divorce had her down for a while. It was like Brydie blossomed on these pages, and it was a bonus that it happened over Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.I’m so glad that Pupcakes was brought to my attention because it was all-around enjoyable. This one is totally going on my holiday-rereads rotation and I recommend it to readers that enjoy holiday stories and stories featuring dogs and pets.

Six months ago, Brydie had a house, a husband and a business. Now she have none. But it's time to move on, even if she doesn't feel ready yet, and quit her best friend's basement to let her live her family life. That's why Brydie accept a house-sitting deal from a friend's acquaintance who's going in a nursing home. She can live there rent free as long as she take care of the woman's Pug and take him every Sunday to visit the owner. Brydie is not a dog person, so at first, she's not sure what to think about her new roomie and his dejected behavior but Teddy Roosevelt will turn to be the perfect companion to help the heroine deal with the pain of loss from the past, regain her passion for baking and find new purposes in life. This book was good for my heart even if I must admit made me cry a time or two. Somewhere between the women's fiction and the romance novel, it doesn't matter the genre you label it, it was full of feels and the good kind. I also have to say there were moments I felt sad for Brydie and felt that her new posse wasn't always there to support her, her love interest included. But I can forget it because it showed that Brydie was really the one responsible for her own hapiness, she didn't wait for Prince Charming to makes everything better or her friends to give her purpose. Despite the tears, don't mistake it for a sad book. It's really a story about life, hope, love and the time you need to grieve over relationship that failed or ended. I cannot finish this review without talking about the adorable Pug. Teddy stole my heart just like he won Brydie's heart.Thanks to my Goodreads friend Julie who put this book on the map for me :)

Originally posted on lampshadereader.comI voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy via Edelweiss of this book. Pupcakes by Annie England Noblin was such a cute and sweet read. While the romance aspect itself was nice, I really enjoyed the dynamics between Brydie, Pauline, and Teddy the dog. It was really about Brydie finding her purpose and actually gaining the confidence to break away from the shadow of her failed marriage and ultimately that of her somewhat controlling mother. If you enjoy ‘meet cutes’ you’ll love the one in this story. The dogs steal the show and their antics lead to Brydie’s and Nathan’s ever budding relationship. I say it like that because it’s a slow burn romance. Maybe at times I thought that there wasn’t anything there at all. In a way, it seemed more realistic. Nathan being a doctor might have had something do to with the way he handled it. “I’m a doctor,” he said. “I fix people. It’s what I do. I know that you’re not a patient. I know that, but I can’t help wanting to fix whatever is wrong in your life. I care about you so much.” Teddy and the mystery around his owner Pauline really were the most enjoyable part of the whole story for me. I loved that sassy old lady and loved how her being in a nursing home did not slow her down. Just a fair warning that tears might make an appearance while reading this. Teddy was crucial in all of their lives, but with Brydie he healed her heart and gave her the focus that she needed.Overall, it was a nice heartfelt read that got me into the mood for the holidays and the generosity that it brings.

The cutest book you'll read this year!I definitely enjoyed this story. Brydie is down on her luck, sleeping on a friend's couch, jobless, and needing something to change. Her friend sets her up as a house sitter for a lady that was moved to a nursing home. This comes with the mysteries of the locked doors, a spoiled pug, and stipulations. Part of the arrangement is to take the pug to the nursing home for weekly visits, where she befriends the lady and encounters a handsome doctor. The cast of supporting characters is lovable and adds so much to the story. I almost wish there was just MORE of everything. More interactions with Nathan. More time at the nursing home. More with her friends. The supporting characters and the town she was in made me hope there will be another story coming so I have a chance to see what's happening in their lives. The end will have you in tears. This was a good, sweet, clean read that I'll be gifting to many this holiday season! I received a copy for review but that does not affect my opinion.
