 My Review:

Love Overboard is the first book I have read by Shannon Dunlap.

Dunlap has created a whimsical cast of matchmakers with a unique story thread. These four retired ladies (aka the "Shippers") live on the cruise ship, creating mischief with the best of intentions. They give off Golden Girl vibes in their wit and interactions.

Lacey knows what the Shippers are about and wants nothing to do with it. While she loves the ladies, she is not looking for love. She has trust issues and would rather focus on her job and taking care of her parents.

Jon is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Lacey again. As the one who got away, Jon is happy with the Shippers matchmaking attempts. However, Jon is keeping secrets and is on board the ship investigating, and neglects to tell Lacey the details.

About the Book

 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.
