My reviews are honest & they contain spoilers. For more, follow me:


A Husband for Hire is Patricia A. Knight’s debut historical romance, though not her debut release. She was a  new-to-me author, so I didn’t know what to expect. But the blurb of the story intrigued me and I had to give this novel a try. Have to say, I’m glad I did.

A Husband for Hire tells us the story of a plain-looking and speaking spinster, who is also sole heir to her father’s big stud farm and other entailed properties. Lady Eleanor is the only daughter to the Earl of Rutledge is in a rather big dilemma. Their stud farm is one of the best around and the Crown has an eye on it. Eleanor being the only child has no way of stopping it when anything entailed reverts back to the Crown once the Earl passes away; which maybe sooner rather than later as both of her parents are quite elderly. Eleanor was quite a surprise at a later period in their life and both parents have devoted themselves to Eleanor’s care. The Earl has pretty much trained her to be more like a man (or you can say ‘tomboy-ish’?) with the education to go with it, so Eleanor can run the stud farm without any hitch at all. But now, both the Earl and the Countess’s health is failing. This leaves Eleanor to come to a rather drastic decision, something she never thought she’d have to resort to—husband hunting. No, make that husband purchasing, to make sure everything that belongs to the Rutledge Earldom remains within the family.

Eleanor is in her late 20s. She’s not an attractive woman by the Tonnish standard, being too tall and thin, so she remained unmarried. Plus her work around the farm and the horses quite kept her busy, something she takes immense pride in. And even though she’s got plenty of money to have been married earlier, she hasn’t. What I could garner from the beginning that she’d never even considered this possibility...until very recently. All she knows that she has to bribe or buy (or whatever it takes) to find a husband. That way, when her first son is born, she could petition to make him the heir to the Rutledge legacy to stop the Crown from grabbing what she and her father and their thousands of employees worked hard to achieve.

But she needs the cooperation of her betrothed, Conte Camliel Aristos deTano. Ari has resisted the arranged marriage for years, but will he allow his stubbornness be the downfall of his beloved planet? With Doral, his aide de camp, at his side Ari decides that there are some things worth risking everything for.

Oh. My. This is a story that will grab ahold of you and not let go. The characters are larger than life, the plot is decent if a bit far-fetched at times, the steamy scenes are absolutely delicious and the emotions…oh, the emotions! So many feels! Be warned that this is a M/M/F sci-fi erotica. There is M/M action, but there are plenty of M/F and M/M/F scenes as well. And I will state that I did not find any of the scenes to be just about gratuitous sex shoved in to sex up the story. Everything has a purpose. I will most definitely be reading more books by Patricia Knight.  *fans self*
