About this listen

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.

This was such a good book to listen to and actually had me tearing up at the end. I really love the messages of hope and resilience that this book brought forth and I truly appreciate the sentiment of love conquering all. A short listen that pulls at the heartstrings! 10/10 recommend

A little book (thank goodness included in the membership) interesting story and easy to list too. Sad part is I want to find out how the couple faired.

The story was weak and lacked imagination and the performance was poor. If the reader is going to do accents they need to be good. This was comedic.

Weak story and terrible performance
