Book Synopsis
"This witty, heartfelt romance is an absolute treat for readers."
—Elly Gilbert, coauthor of Under the Blue Skies
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 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.
"Inspirational romance readers will relish every cozy moment they spend with the Shippers!"
—Bethany Turner, author of Cole and Laila Are Just Friends

My Review
Hearts Aweigh is the second book in Shannon Dunlap’s Love Overboard series. In the first book, we met the "Shippers," senior matchmakers living on a cruise ship instead of a land-based retirement home. I love these women, each with their lively, one-of-a-kind personalities.
This cruise, they are determined to find a perfect match for Abby O'Brien. She’s a cheerful, hopeful childcare worker for Monarch Cruises. Her biggest dream is to get married and have children. The Shippers are committed to making that happen. We also meet Daisy’s son, Spencer, an elite, divorced lawyer, and his adorable five-year-old daughter, Maddie. With many possible suitors for Abby, Spencer finds himself caught up in the Shippers’ plans.
I enjoyed this story so much. It’s full of humor, a mysterious blackmail plot, and of course, romance. The book also explores faith, forgiveness, and finding God. Abby and Spencer share great chemistry, and I fell in love with Maddie. Watching her grow from a shy girl to a happy, lively child was a joy.
This romantic comedy moves smoothly and pulls you into a fun tale of mischief, mystery, and blooming love. The story can stand alone, but I recommend reading book one first. You won’t regret it. Hearts Aweigh is a wonderful pick for your summer reading list.
