Robyn Sisman
Class/Genre:   Romance   Humorous
Penguin/PLume March 2005

Suze Wilding and Lloyd Rockwell work for the same advertising agency - Suze in London, Lloyd in New York. A job swap program combined with an apartment trade sends each across the Atlantic to work in the other's office for a month. What neither knows is that Lloyd is being set up to be maneuvered out of a job.

The New York staff behind the treachery makes the mistake of including Suze on their team for an important new project and she learns just enough to raise her suspicions.

The reader can see the romance coming in this one from the early chapters, but this foretaste does not prevent an enjoyable read.

This is a perfect book for a summer weekend - Sisman's story includes a glamorous weekend in the Hamptons, a second weekend in an English country house, dinners in New York, strolls through Central Park, and evenings in atmospheric London pubs as Suze and Lloyd each explore the other's city.
