Summary

Three mischievous matchmakers. Two lonely hearts. And one last chance at a happily ever after. Don’t miss this heartwarming short story from New York Times best-selling author Carolyn Brown.

Meet Minnie, Dotty, and Stella—all retired and year-round residents on a cruise ship, they have dubbed themselves the unofficial matchmakers aboard. Minnie can ferret out a lonely woman by the second day of the cruise. Dotty can spot an openhearted man all the way across the Lido Deck. And Stella is great at putting a plan together. Together they’ve been every bit as successful as one of those online dating sites, and they can watch the romance unfold right before their eyes.

The trio face their biggest challenge yet when an unusual pair makes it onto the 10-day cruise to Alaska. Ava and Vince are on the verge of a divorce and have no idea that they’ve each booked the same cruise to think things over. Now, with a little help from the Matchmakers, they're about to discover that every great voyage has its storms—and love means weathering them together.

Lots of promise but too short.

The story had lots of promise and would have been amazing if expanded upon. Because of how short the story was and how fast things moved and jumped along, there was no character development or much time to get to understand and connect with the characters. If the author were to rewrite the story and expand on it, I would definitely give it a read.

Bit Cheesy for me

The story and the narration were ok, but this isn't really my kind of book. If you like romantic fiction then this is one for you.

Was expecting less description of suffering

I thought this would be fun ,the 75 yr old ladies matchmaking, but it was about a couple on a break from each other with descriptions of the emotional pain & thinking about their relationship troubles from the wife & husband's point of view,some dialogue was unrealistic. Narrator was okay,male voices she didn't do so well though..Not as funny as I expected,more sad,awkward & boring,stopped listening at chapter 3.This was under wholesome & clean but the beginning chapter was more adult that I thought it would be... I like this narrator but couldn't bring myself to finish it because of the plot.The Love LInes Series on the Plus Catalogue are so much better.
