Genre: Christian Romcom
A snort-laughing, cruise ship romance takes readers into topsy-turvy waters
When a group of four quirky friends retire on a neverending round of cruises, their attire consists of more than floral shirts and gaudy skirts. Armed with walkie-talkies and battle plans, these relationship experts--who've dubbed themselves the "Shippers"--target hostess Lacey Anderson and director Jonathan King in their romantic schemes. But the young couple refuses to cooperate. They've been on the "love boat" together before, and it went down in flames.
Boss matchmaker Emily Windsor has orchestrated multiple romantic successes, and these two upstarts certainly won't get the best of her. The chemistry between Lacey and Jonathan is obvious, but the couple rebuffs every outlandish plot and "coincidental" meeting, forcing the matchmakers to chart a new course to true love--all while inadvertently thwarting drug smugglers threatening to ruin their floating home on the ocean.
This laugh-out-loud rom-com features loveable characters, over-the-top situations reminiscent of 1950s sitcoms, and a dash of mystery. The toe-curling romance will push the reader overboard and all in with Shannon Dunlap's new series.
My thoughts: This is such a fun story! I loved the unique premise of Emily and her 3 friends being retirees and/or widows living on a cruise ship and enjoying setting up couples among the staff. They all appreciate the hard work that Lacey puts into her hostess job and the caring heart she has for those around her. When they set their sights on setting Lacey up with her ex, things get interesting! I loved the humor in this story, but I also appreciated that it was balanced with some seriousness, like why Lacey ran the first time she and Jon were together. I also love the way faith is woven into the story. I look forward to the next book in this series!
I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.
