Book Description:
The Prospective Husband with a Racy Past...Members who requested this book also requested:
Hank Mallone spotted trouble when she sat down and said she'd marry him! Maggie Toone was a tempting firecracker who'd make his life delightful hell if he let her pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue's reputation. Would his harebrained scheme to get a bank loan for his business backfire once Maggie arrived in his small Vermont town and let the gossips take a look? Maggie never expected her employer to be drop-dead handsome, or to affect her like a belt of bourbon on her empty stomach, but she was too intrigued by his offer to say no... and too eager to escape a life that made her feel trapped. The deal was strictly business, both agreed... until Hank turned out to be every fantasy she'd ever had, and Maggie was so bright, funny, and downright irresistible that Hank fell head over heels in love! While the town watched, Hank wooed his wife with a charm that had never failed him yet. Could he make her dreams real by proving she belonged in his arms?

Re-release issue Nov 2007. Cute story. Maggie can't wait to get out of her hometown, where she has always been different and talked about. Only she runs right to another small town with all of the same "problems". It is her relationship with Hank that finally makes her understand that everyone has to face their problems, and running away isn't the answer.

I really enjoyed "Wife for Hire". It was entertaining and sweet. The protagonists are likable and it's fun to watch them navigate through the charmingly absurd circumstances that are signature Evanovich. If you're in the mood for something light, fun, and romantic--this book would be an excellent choice

Usual Janet Evanovich "cute". Not as good as her Plum series. Weak ending. I was a little disappointed in this one.

a very cute book about hank who is trying to get a business loan, but keeps getting rejected because he isn't married. and about maggie who wants to get away from her life and write a book. maggie decides to take the job as hank's wife for 6 months. things don't turn out the way they expected to, and it will be harder to say good bye then they both thought.

Grandma has found a bag of money and decides to buy an RV and hit the open road but only makes it as far as Atlantic City before Stephanie, Lula, and Connie catch up with her. Also hunting Stephanie is a leprechaun who wants the money. Diesel from the previous two Between the Numbers book is also back and does his usual good job of teasing and flirting with Stephanie. Throw in a mobster who also wants the money and everything that can go wrong does.
The book is a fun quick read and gets five out of five stars from me!

Original released in 1990 and released in 11/2007... As usual with Janet Evanovich's books, this one had me laughing out loud. I don't find many things funny, however when it's a book by Evanovich it tickles my funny bone.
Hank decides he needs to hire a wife so he can get the bank to loan him money.... Little did he know he was getting more then he bargained for when he hired Maggie.....

Another great read for Janet - these earlier books of hers are more on the romance, sappy side of things but still a very good read. I really enjoyed this book - I seemed to relate to the storyline a bit, so it made reading it very fast! :p

Hank Malone spotted trouble when she sat down and said she would marry him. Maggie Toon was a tempting firecracker who'd make his life deliglhtful hell if he let her pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue's reputation. Would his hairbrained scheme to get a bank loan backfire once Maggie arrived in his small Vermont town and let the gossips take a look.
Maggie never expected her employer to be drop dead handsome. or to affect her like a shot of bourbon on an empty stomachm but she was too intrigued by his offer to say no..and too eager to escape the life that made her feel trapped. The deal was strictly business, both agreed, until Hank turned out to be every fantasy she had ever had.
