They’re retired.
They’re relentless.
And they’ve got romance… on the agenda.
Welcome to Diamond Cove, Florida.
Where the water is warm, the flamingos are named after The Beatles,
and the grandparents have one mission:
Marry off their grandkids—whether they like it or not.
Meet Betty.
She’s 93, sharp as ever, and absolutely not dying until she gets her great-grandson hitched. Alongside her friends (aka the Secret Seven), she’s cooked up a matchmaking plan worthy of a covert ops unit.
Their first target?
Aaron—a brooding Navy vet turned alligator rescuer.
And their not-so-subtle setup?
Cocoa—a pastry chef who’s sworn off love… until a certain shirtless handyman strolls into her bakery.
This isn’t just any romantic comedy. It’s a laugh-out-loud, heart-sighing, flamingo-feeding kind of story with meddling retirees, found family, swoony kisses, and just enough chaos to keep you turning the page.

This is not your typical romance novel. The fact that it’s set in a retirement community is just one of the many things that make this book stand out. I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a great rom-com and I could see it becoming a mini-series or TV series. I’m looking forward to reading the next adventure of the Secret Seven. If you are looking for something that will leave you feeling good, this is your book.

I’ve read all the books in this series & enjoyed everyone of them.
Being of the age that I could be a resident of The Palms, I can relate to a lot of their actions & shenanigans.
I found all the books very entertaining.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really enjoyed this delightful read! It features interesting, unique characters and a fun storyline. A meddling great-grandma wants to match her great-grandson (who works with alligators!) with a certain woman, not realizing he already has his heart set on the sweet chef who works at her retirement community. Quite entertaining, and I really appreciated that the romance was clean.

This is such a fun series. I love the interaction with the seniors who live in Diamond Cove and all of the people they decide to match up. I’ve read many of the other stories in this series and really enjoyed going back to read this first book to see how the Secret Seven matchmakers came about.

This is a short book about the new series of senior matchmakers set in a retirement village in Diamond Cove, Florida. The seniors had success in matching one of their grandchildren and want to continue making matches for more of their grandchildren. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.

The kooky residents of Diamond Cove Senior Living Center will capture your heart. Eccentric, meddling residents, flammingos, a sun glasses wearing alligator.. I mean only in Florida haha. I can’t wait to read the rest of this crazy romantic comedy series, just all around a great feel good book. Would definitely recommend!.
