Bryn Morgan’s short life has been anything but peaceful. Moving from an abusive family life to the terror of prison was hard for the young man to undergo. Now, Bryn has returned to his hometown, seeking work among people who see him as little more than trash. His options look bleak, until he turns to the one man who always seemed to make him see a brighter side of life, Reverend Ian Kenyon.
Ian’s existence hasn’t been as shaky as Bryn’s, but he is battling his own hurts and loss. With the death of his wife and newborn son came a decrease in Ian’s faith. He has lived in darkness for so long, but hiring Bryn will change that for Ian. The men will learn to live, love and trust again. Over time, they will learn the meaning of the words forgiveness and friendship.
Moving past hurt, regardless of the caliber, can be a hard road to travel. Jan Irving’s The Hired Man takes us such a journey. Bryn has endured physical and emotional pain that has crippled his ability to see the good he possesses. Ian has emotional scars hindering him from finding joy. I love the slow build of their friendship, attraction and finally loving relationship. While there is plenty going on to keep the story moving, I never felt rushed to see them finally give in to their desires. Ms. Irving delivers yet another riveting story filled will brilliantly written characters, a strong plot and a breathtaking setting. Pick up a copy - you won’t be disappointed.
