Cheeky septuagenarian matchmakers, the "Shippers"
are on a mission to secure a dreamy Mr. Right for Abby O'Brien, a sunny,
optimistic childcare worker for Monarch Cruises. She loves her job looking
after the children of vacationing parents, but harbors one unfulfilled desire:
to be a wife and a mother.
With his shy five-year-old daughter in tow, divorced elitist
lawyer Spencer Randolph Masterson has anything but romance in mind. His goal on
the MS Buckingham is to persuade his mother, Daisy, to leave her ridiculous
cruise ship lifestyle and return to New Orleans. But Daisy isn't interested in
life on land. Besides, she and her matchmaking posse have a marriage to
arrange.
When a secret from Daisy's past surfaces and threats of
blackmail start flying, the Shippers must protect their own while attempting to
convince Spencer's scarred heart to weigh anchor and boldly set sail for a
future with Abby.
My Thoughts:
What a fun grumpy sunshine romance this was, and I was so glad to be back on a cruise ship with the shippers. Their matchmaking schemes look a little different this time around. This time, Abby came to the for help as her dream is to be a wife and mother. However, the guy that she keeps having the most sparks with is none other than shipper Daisy's son. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of family history, both present and past that needs to be worked out. Add in a mystery and you have the shippers' job really cut out for them.
This was a great edition to the series, and I really have been enjoying the cruise ship atmosphere, and this particular romance was so fun to watch unfold. Abby and Spencer were so different. He was tall, she was short. He was the grump and workaholic, while she had a more laid-back personality. And the way she made the kids feel, especially his little girl was so sweet. And I enjoyed his annoyance every time Abby went on a date with someone else. This will definitely be a reread.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review, and all views and opinions are my own.
