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 an 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:

Shannon Sue Dunlap has quickly become a favorite new author. I love these quirky "Shippers" who are like the Golden Girls of match-making aboard a cruise ship. 
When Spencer Masterson arrives on board, the environment completely changes. Spencer is Daisy's son, and the "Shippers" hone in on him, determined to make a match between him and Abby, who is the activity director aboard the ship. Spencer brings with him his adorable daughter, Maddie, who adds loads of fun to the already humorous cast of characters.

I really hope this series continues because they are so doggone fun! Talk about armchair traveling, this series is perfect for it. If you are looking for some traveling but can't afford it, this series provides the ability to travel without leaving you're home. 

Bottom Line: This book has hilarity, charm, heart, and unexpected romance. Summer is right around the corner, and this is the perfect beach read. You don't need to read the first book to read and enjoy this one.  Today is release day, so please click one of the links above and get a copy of this amazing book!
