The travel and hospitality industry are the backdrop for KG MacGregor’s Just This Once. Paula is a night-shift manager at an upscale hotel in Orlando where Wynne, a Baltimore-based marketing manager for a travel agency, stays during frequent visits to her company’s home office. A strategic free upgrade for Wynne to the concierge floor leads to flirtatious encounters on that floor’s lounge, dinners offsite, and email exchanges when Wynne is back in Baltimore. Both women, devoted to their careers and their families of origin, find in each other camaraderie, play, relaxation, and passion. But an obligation in Baltimore threatens to keep them apart... What I especially appreciate about this book is that these women have lives, and they are unapologetic about how important their careers are to them. They have friends and families they are close to. Each is confronted with difficult choices that affect both their work and personal lives, and they weigh the options with intention. Though their romance is a welcome addition for each of them, they don’t rely on it for validation as human beings. Can you say amen?!
