About this listen
Maggie never expected her employer to be drop-dead handsome, but she's too intrigued by his offer to say no...and too eager to escape a life that made her feel trapped. The deal is strictly business, both agree, until Hank turns out to be every fantasy she ever had.

Editorial reviews
Hank Malone, small-town-Vermont "bad boy," hires New Jersey would-be author Maggie Toone to pretend to be his wife to improve his image so that he can get a business bank loan for his apple orchard. Of course, the inevitable happens, and Hank and Maggie fall in love. C.J. Critt plunges into the frothy romance with gusto, keeping the tempo fast and the interplay between the main characters sexy, rapid-fire, and funny. A plus is Critt's portrayal of a feisty, gun-toting housekeeper, who keeps the action on its toes. Fans of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series should not expect a mystery here. But for light listening pleasure, this fits the bill.

The Waverleys have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

Enjoyable old fashioned love story
Would you consider the audio edition of Wife for Hire to be better than the print version?
don't know?
What was one of the most memorable moments of Wife for Hire?
The first dinner when everyone showed up inc. old girlfriends and her family too!
Which character – as performed by C. J. Critt – was your favorite?
Don't remember her name now but she sounded like Grandma Mazzer I believe.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes
Any additional comments?
I was not real crazy about the happily ever after ending but I know it was coming from the beginning. It was very old fashioned man and women love story!
I did not get /understand what the character did after the book was finished and sold yet sat in her room till he came proposing! Yuk for that part of the story - there it let me down.

So-So
The narrator was hard to listen to. The story line was okay but not exciting. If you want a bit of fluff with not much thought to be given to a story line, this will serve that purpose. Again, the narrator was the biggest obstacle. I was glad when I finished this one.

Cute & Simple
This was a cute, but predictable story with quirky personalities similar to most of her other characters. My favorite part was the location, since I'm from that area too. I agree that some voices are easier to listen to than others and I'm glad this was a short book, exactly for that reason.
