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 Review
Love Overboard tells the story of a lively group of older women, known as "The Shippers," who live on a cruise ship and dabble in matchmaking in the pursuit of love. The Shippers are led by the assertive Emily, and the group includes the sociable Althea, the always serious Gerry, and the elegant and pampered Daisy. Together, they plot to rekindle the romance between ship hostess Lacy and ship director Jonathan King, despite Lacy having relegated Jon to the friend zone.
Alongside the love story a mystery unfolds involving drug smuggling on the ship, with Jon at the center of the investigation. The revelation of the culprit's identity is surprising, yet ties things together seamlessly.
Love Overboard is full of humor, with The Shippers' plans often going hilariously wrong. Emily, in particular, stands out and quickly became a favorite of mine.
Love Overboard presents a romantic comedy with laughter, unresolved love, forgiveness, and an intriguing mystery, making it a delightful read for those looking for a good romance and a lot of laughter.
