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.

Review of Just for the Summer
I don’t usually read too many light romantic reads, but the back cover blurb intrigued me and I thought reading one about the summer would be fun. I was right! I was pulled into the storyline from the very first page. I related to both Ginny and Jacqueline from the beginning and couldn’t wait to find out how it worked out for them both. I loved the author’s imagination, her whimsical style and how she fleshed out the characters making me as a reader satisfied with the journey and the conclusion. Great story. I can’t wait to read more from her!
I was given this book as a complimentary copy but was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
