About this ebook

Ginny Masters manages a popular boutique hotel in Seattle and manages it with aplomb. But the daily challenges and irritations of a fast-paced job and a demanding boss are starting to get to her. Jacqueline Potter manages her grandfather's fishing lodge in Idaho because it was the only job she could find after graduating with her hospitality degree. She's grateful for the work but longs for a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan life she's just not going to find in this backwoods town.

The solution to both their problems seems obvious. Just for the summer, they'll swap jobs and lifestyles. But they never anticipated swapping love interests . . .

In this fabulous new twist on an age-old fable, award-winning and bestselling author Melody Carlson introduces you to two career-focused women who are about to discover that there's more to finding happiness than just switching up the scenery.

This was a very fun book.I enjoyed the job trade and have to admit there are were times I would have wanted to do something like that!I liked Ginny who seems to give her all to her job, but Jacqueline seemed not so likeable as Ginny. The story was enjoyable and a nice light read. There are some twists and a bit of romance and a quick read.I have enjoyed this and other books from this author.I will continue to do so.I enjoyed this book! I rec'd a comp. copy from the publisher.thoughts are my own

The plot was well-paced, perfect for a rom-com with some drama mixed in. With life lessons about moving forward, taking chances and learning from mistakes, this is a book not to be missed by fans of entertaining and engaging reads. All opinions expressed are my own.
