The Matchmakers

De: Carolyn Brown

Narrado por: Bailey Carr

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.

Book review

The characters were vivid and full of life. The book was very enjoyable to listen to

Nice short story!!

I could not stop listening. I loved the narrator and short reconciling story. The characters grow on you immediately.

Really corny.

corby. not bad just really corny and a bit outdated. (Yes people in their 70s are old but I dont think they say Whpper-snapper anymore). Also, the characters seem to mimic Claire Cooks Water walking club books ... only they have been aged into their Golden years instead of midlife.

Perhaps because of the minimal length of the book the characters were not really developed. The romance story fell flat, and lacked any emotion. It seemed illogical that it the purchased tickets used individually without each other knowing they were using the cruise tickets somehow landed them n separate rooms??? Then, once they ended up in the same place together they automatically start to work things out? really? No anger, no sarcasm just hey here is what's wrong lets fix it. Nah! I've never known a couple to go as far as separating & removing wedding rings to springing into makeup mode. There was no build up or development of their love or reconciliation besides blaming the bad mother-in-law (who honestly made her baby boy look so pathetic I wasnt sure what the FMC saw in him). Sorry but it takes 2 to make a mess not just he guy. But I guess it all had to rushed because it was a short story.

The narration was ok. Although the accents weren't consistent.

Average all around.
