Switcheroo

A lighthearted lesbian romance about shattering comfort zones and finding your place in the world where you least expect it.

New Yorker Hayley Reed is so over life, her crappy apartment, and her two jobs as a cook and bartender. When she wins a contest to swap lives with someone for a year, all expenses paid, she’s ecstatic. That is until she finds herself on a remote Australian cattle station with basic food, empty views, and an attractive butch station hand who clearly dislikes her.

Jenna Dwyer wouldn’t live anywhere except Ghost Gum Station. It’d be bliss except now she’s stuck mentoring a clueless American city slicker who’s the worst jillaroo ever to straddle a horse. But staying aloof from Hayley is difficult when she’s obviously trying so hard…and is just so annoyingly cute. Under the long, endless skies and despite a simmering attraction, can two such opposite women ever find a way to connect?

About this book

What readers are saying about the book

Tempe M. - Goodreads Reviewer

Cheyenne Blue brings us another book with a very unique plot, touched with her subtle sense of humor. Add a slow-burn romance and the result was one that tugged at my heart strings.

Sarah H. - Netgalley Reviewer

For me, this was the perfect book. It was entertaining without being cheesy, emotional without diving into angst’s deep end, and the pace was so good that only the need to sleep and work my day job was able to interrupt the experience.

Nia - Goodreads Reviewer

A wonderful book with a unique story, that I have never read before. Original and also light, but definitely with a lot of depth.
