Un marido de alquiler (Harlequin Internacional)
Lo había contratado como empleado... pero ahora quería contratarlo como esposo… El imperio financiero de su padre se derrumbaba y la señorita Rachel Bradford estaba dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa por salvar el buen nombre de su familia… Incluso ofrecerle al asesor financiero Mitch Kincade una habitación de su casa… ¡y cuatro veces su salario habitual! Abandonado en un orfanato, Mitch había luchado con denuedo para ganarse la riqueza de la que disfrutaba. Pero todo empezó a cambiar cuando Rachel lo tentó con su posición social… y con su cuerpo.

About the author
Judith Stacy
44 books34 followersThis is the pseudonym of author Dorothy Howell.
It was in eighth grade English class that Judith realized she wanted to be a writer. Her teacher, who was from, what seemed at the time, the exotic and far off state of Florida, introduced the class to creative writing. Judith was hooked! Finally, there was something interesting in school!
But her first published work was still 20 years away.
Life changed when her family moved to nearby Roanoke, Virginia. On her first day of school, as she was introduced to Miss O’Neal’s ninth grade science class, a boy in the back of the room waved both arms in the air and shouted, “She can sit back here!” Judith knew that day her fate was sealed.
Judith and that young man just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary.
Her husband’s career in the Air Force took them to California. They had two daughters and Judith worked in mortgage banking and consumer finance lending. Somehow, twenty years passed. With the love and support of her family, Judith’s first novel was published in 1988.
Seven long years, and countless rejections later, Judith sold her second novel. A third, then a fourth followed quickly, and she was on her way. By then she was writing full time. To date, she’s produced 23 historical novels, with sales approaching 3 million copies worldwide. Her titles include Harlequin Historical’s Top Seller of the Year, a RITA Award Finalist, and a No.1 on the Barnes & Noble Historical List.
In a departure from romantic fiction, Judith signed a multi-book deal with Kensington Books for a mystery series that launched in July, 2008 in hardcover, under the name Dorothy Howell. The debut mystery, HANDBAGS AND HOMICIDE, was a Publishers Weekly starred review. That was followed this year by PURSES AND POISON. The series has the same strong, sassy heroine, a hot hero, and the laugh-out-loud humor that readers love in her romantic fiction.
Judith makes her home in Southern California with her family that now includes a grandson, who is the light of all their lives. She is eternally grateful for her family, her readers, the support of her publisher and agent, and her good fortune.

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.

"Volvía a estar a merced de alguien. Pero aquella vez, era alguien que parecía haberse metido muy adentro de él"
Mitch llegó para ver las cuentas de la familia que estaba en muchos problemas financieros, con la ausencia de los padres, el hijo mayor desaparecido y dos hermanos más jóvenes, Rachel se encontraba llena de dudas e incertidumbre... por eso cuando Mitch le propuso un matrimonio donde él pudiera ingresar a la clase a la que siempre deseo pertenecer, el sí fue el inicio del amor.
Realmente he disfrutado muchísimo esta historia, los personajes están muy bien construidos al igual que la historias, Mitch llegó a conquistar a todos en ese hogar que ha sufrido tanto y también en el sostén de Rachel que no la ha pasado nada bien.
De lectura ligera pero con mucho sentimiento es una lectura que se disfruta en un día y sin dudas, para releer cuando deseas volver a enamorarte.

L'intero libro è incentrato sul protagonista maschile che pensa in continuazione per tutta la durata del libro al colore della biancheria della moglie. The end. I personaggi secondari sono così di poca importanza che in una paginetta viene descritto dai protagonisti cosa è successo loro, poichè (come ho già detto) il succo dell'intero libro è lui che pensa di che colore è la biancheria della protagonista.
