What would you do if your best friend arranged for you to get laid by a ‘professional’? Or if you were mistaken for a hired gigolo? The Hired Hand by Melissa Schroeder is a tale with a humorous beginning that deals with just these eventualities.
Marlow is a petite woman whose ingrained manners prevent her from leaving anyone, even a hired gigolo, sitting in a bar all night waiting for her to turn up. What follows goes against all her intentions and beliefs.
Humour is plentiful from beginning to end. The story begins very light-hearted but the ending will find you wearing a very happy expression, though perhaps slightly tearful from its poignancy. You will feel a whole range of emotions whilst reading this tale, from humour to happiness to righteous indignation to anger to sadness to empathy and several others besides.
Marlow’s friends are extremely likeable; you will wish they were your own. Marlow herself is a focused woman whose life centers on pleasing her parents, whom she loves very much, and her job. Liam is a man who has more than his fair share of woman, an outrageous flirt and someone who gave little thought to ever settling down.
Apart they are fabulous characters; together they are pure dynamite. The characters are all well developed, you feel as if they could be real, people you know and count amongst your own circle of friends. The chemistry between Marlow and Liam is explosive and implodes at every opportunity. Though the language is not overly graphic and the characters do not engage in any of the more ‘taboo’ sexual activities, this is one hot, sexy read that’ll keep you reading till either you finish or your eyes drop closed against your will. If you are not a Schroeder fan yet, upon reading this you will be.
