I really rejoyed this book. It was well written and charming. The book does not rely heavily on the sensual scenes. The story is so good that these scenes just add spice to an already great book. If you long to be swept into the lives of two enchanting people, I highly recommend this one. The relationship between Rachel and Mitch sizzles and there are no misunderstandings that tear the two apart for long periods. This was just the kind of romance novel I love. Wonderful characters. Characters that seem real because they are not perfect. Mitch is handsome, sexy, intelligent, but embittered by life. I am always a sucker for stories with "heartless" heroes who find their souls through the love of a good woman. Wonderful love story, great characters with an emotionally scarred hero and strong but vulnerable heroine, unique setting, intriguing plot, heart-tugging emotion, excellent writing, intense sensual love scenes, and a superb ending. The interaction between the leads was great. There is enough conflict to make the story line interesting and not so much that your left wondering why they ever got together.

The Hired Husband is a delightful quick and easy read! The characters are very likable and their story is very well told! Judith Stacy is a fine author!

THE HIRED HUSBAND started out with a bang! Wow, talk about a hook. I loved the feistiness of heroine, as well as the story of the hero. Great characters that you'll easily fall in love with. Even some of the secondhand characters. I would have easily purchased a book about Leo or Noah or Claudia. On the whole, the book was well written and kept your interest.
