About the Book

Title: Love Overboard
Series: Love Overboard #1
Author: Shannon Sue Dunlap
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: May 21, 2024
Genre: Christian Romcom

A snort-laughing, cruise ship romance takes readers into topsy-turvy waters 

When a group of four quirky friends retire on a never-ending 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:

This book was so fun!  The Shippers were really funny, always getting into mischief but with such good intentions!  They had some great one-liners and some laugh-out-loud moments!  I couldn't believe the lengths they were willing to go to!  They were so sweet and quirky and seemed like a great bunch to hang out with.  I liked Lacey but was frustrated with her for how she had treated Jonathan.  She had a hard time with trust because of her father and also struggled with her faith a bit.  Jonathan and Emily both seemed to have a strong faith, with Emily encouraging both Lacey and Jonathan to trust God and pray for direction.  Forgiveness was also key.  Jonathan seemed a little too good to be true.  I absolutely loved the setting and wonder what it would be like to live on a cruise ship.  I'm really hoping it turns into a series as it looked like the Shippers have their sights set on their next target!  I highly recommend this book if you want a lighthearted, fun read that will leave you smiling.

I received this book free from the author.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
