Ginny has messed up big time. She double booked the hotel's event room with an anniversary celebration and a wedding reception. The fact that the bride's family is friends with Ginny's boss makes the situation even worse puts Ginny's job on the line. So Ginny signs up for a job swap for the summer.
Jacqueline is a fish out of water, running her grandfather's fishing lodge. Needing a change of scenery, she signs up for the same job swap as Ginny, and the plans are made.
Ginny hits the ground running making some changes here and there that enhance the ambiance of the lodge and entices more clientele to the lodge. Jacqueline very nearly destroys the hotel and enrages the owner in a way that Ginny never did. So the owner cancels the contract for Jacqueline and sends her home with her tail between her legs.
While at the lodge, Ginny has made inroads with Jacqueline's grandfather and his summer fishing guide, while Jacqueline has attempted the same with the hotel owner's son with not as stellar results.
Melody Carlson has built a most enjoyable book with places I know and believable characters who are real in the sense that they have real strengths and weaknesses. This gives them an honest touch in how they come across throughout the book. There is the man who continually seeks what he cannot have and is unwilling to accept what is offered. There is the couple who are falling in love without even realizing what is happening to them. There is the woman who wants to come across as stronger than she really is. All of these characteristics are part of the charm of the book that makes it all the more readable. Four Strong Stars.
