About this listen
Overweight, smelly, and obviously suffering from some kind of doggy depression, Fred is light-years from perky. But for all his faults, he does manage to put Nina face-to-face with Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger downstairs neighbor.
Alex looks great on paper - a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor who shares Fred's abiding love for Oreos - but a 10-year difference in age, despite his devastating smile, is too wide a gap for Nina to handle.
Ignoring her insistent best friend, some interfering do-gooders, and the ubiquitous Fred - not to mention her suddenly raging hormones - Nina thinks anyone but Alex would be a better bet for a relationship. But the more silver-haired stiffs she dates, the more she suspects it's the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay!

Story
Dennie Banks is an investigative reporter chasing down the biggest story of her career. Alec Prentice is a government agent working undercover to catch an elusive grifter. When they meet by accident, it’s a case of mistaken identities at first sight. What they don’t mistake is the instant attraction they have for each other, an attraction they’ll do everything in their power to resist - because Dennie thinks that Alec is running interference for her interview subject, and Alec suspects that Dennie is linked to his swindler. As the confusion grows, so do their feelings for each other....

Of course we did not live happily ever after. We did the opposite. You thought that was the end? So did I. Seven years later and without warning, Branson Hickey is back in my life. Many things have changed and a few things haven't. I still want him. I still can't stand him. I still think about him all the time, even after everything we did to each other.

She refuses to get trapped in that hell ever again. Former Special Forces soldier turned rancher Noah Dempsey is more than capable of training the delicate single mom in moves and tactics that will help her feel safe. But his own tortured past makes him decidedly less qualified for anything more. No matter how much her big eyes—and even bigger heart—draw him in.

Jennifer Crusie knows how to have fun
I had read "Fast Women" because is was on sale and very entertaining. So I thought I would try another by this author. what a great story with lots of laughs.
The narrator did a great job. I understand that some of the narrators for Ms Crusie books are not as enjoyable. I suggest a listen before purchasing.
I enjoyed this one very much and recommend

No one but you...
Just as amazing as all other Jennifer Crusie books. The performance was a little slow, but audible makes that easy by being able to speed it up, thank you. This was one of my more recent Crusie books purchases, and I love it. I have the paperback version, in which I first bought/read it and now I’ve heard it too. Zany characters, dogs and food, what’s better than that? That’s just one element of Jennifer Crusie books that I love apart from the 30 something women that strong men fall for.

Another fun book by Ms. Cruisie
I enjoy all of Ms. Cruisie's books, and this was no exception. it's so nice to have a romance that's about a mature woman.
The narrator's voice is reminiscent of Nina Totenberg, who reports on the U.S. Supreme Court for NPR. Pleasant enough in short reports, but painful for the length of a book.

Enjoyable light romance
This romance is perfect for a light feel good read. Nina is. Recently divorced woman of forty living life on her own terms for the first time in ages. She meets her downstairs neighbor, Alex, and sparks fly. The one hitch, Alex is 10 years younger. What follows is a fun tale of how our own insecurities can unwillingly cause us to do silly things.
The author has written a story full of likable characters that you want to learn more about. The storyline is fun if somewhat predictable. The dog Fred is characterized perfectly.
If you are in the mood for a feel good romance, this is a great choice.
Narration on this one was very good. The narrator effectively voices male and female characters and uses a hollowed out noise technique to distinguish characters on the phone.

I love this book!
It's not often that I listen to a book more than once, but this book has become a go-to for me. I listen to it at least once a year, because it's just so much fun. it's great fun to watch Alex, the youngest in a family of M. D. Royalty, and Nina, ex-wife of another m. D. God, find their way to each other. All thanks to a red Incredibra and Fred, the basset hound mix, who is the most adorable cupid in history.

Wonderful story. Bad narrator.
I love the story, but I couldn’t wait for it to be over because the audiobook narrator was awful.
I read the paperback several years ago and laughed a lot. I recently listened to the audiobook. I didn’t laugh because I knew what to expect, but I still enjoyed the story.
I was so drawn to the characters. I loved the slow building relationship between Nina and Alex. I enjoyed other characters as well, especially the 75 year old physically fit neighbor Norma.
AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR - Susan Ericksen:
I don’t like this narrator. It feels like a bossy person is yelling at me, lecturing me, nagging me. It’s jaring, irritating and stressful to listen to. There is no sweetness, softness or vulnerability in her voice. It’s loud. I don’t like monotone readers, but Susan Ericksen is too far the other way. I feel like she is overacting with artificial cheeriness, overly energetic. Her emotional interpretation of men is off. Alex sounds like a bossy female instead of a guy desiring her and wanting sex.
DATA:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 275 pages. Swearing language: mild including religious swear words but rarely used. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: 4. Setting: 1990s U.S. Copyright: 1996. Genre: contemporary romance, older woman younger man.

Susan Ericksen makes the difference
I LOVE this story.
I've loved this story since the lurid purple cover originally appeared in my mail box as part of my old Harlequin subscription box, back in late 1996. It made me a Jenny Crusie reader, because she's always had a good sense of the ridiculousness of human beings; but as much as I've loved this story, for a long time, Agnes and the Hitman had supplanted it as my favorite Jenny Crusie book, quite a while ago now.
But I was looking for another Susan Ericksen listen one afternoon, and here it was...Fred, and Nina/Alex. The minute I saw it, I had to have it.
Hearing this dear old story in Susan's voices, has put Anyone but You BACK ON TOP as my favorite Jenny Crusie book. There's something so world-weary, yet hopeful in Susan's voices that it's impossible not to just...come back, and join Nina's story again and again.
