“Just for the Summer,” by Melody Carlson

The Grass is Greener….

Ginny manages an upscale boutique hotel in Seattle, and she can do her job in her sleep. Everything runs like a well-oiled machine unless her boss, Diana, steps in. She is famous for causing problems, blaming them on Ginny, and expecting her to fix them.

After Diana’s latest escapade, Ginny is ready for a change, and she just found it–a site where people swap jobs for sixty days.

Jacqueline manages her grandfather’s run-down fishing lodge. It is in the backwoods, and she hates every part of it. When Jacqueline stumbles on the job swap site, she knows this is her way out.

Both women connect, and immediately make arraignments to trade jobs.

Although Jacqueline lied about the condition of the lodge, Ginny is thrilled to be in such a beautiful location. She immediately rolls up her sleeves to get to work improving the lodge.

Ginny finds herself fitting in well with everyone, especially the handsome fishing guide. She never wants to leave.

Despite pulling out all the stops, Jacqueline’s plan to catch the attention of Diana’s son has barely gotten off the ground. Additionally, she is not used to working as hard as Ginny. It doesn’t take Diana long to demand that Ginny come back.

Jacqueline creates a bunch of lies designed to get Ginny to leave the fishing lodge. Will it work?

This entertaining story is a page-turner, and the job swapping idea is a great twist. It is fun to read about the ideas Ginny has, along with wondering if the lies Jacqueline has told will catch up with her. I highly recommend this clean tale. It will be enjoyed by fans of DIY, stories of starting over, and well-written books.
