Elissa has greatly overstated her experience with men to be able to get out of the underground bunkers on Earth and become a settler on Space Station One. One of the requirements of settlement is that she becomes a wife to two men, as the female population is becoming more and more sterile when they remain on Earth. So she conceals the truth to her future husbands Gray and Clint in hopes they will learn to live together and make a relationship on the new planet.

Elissa may have gotten more than she bargained for. She is definitely surprised by the wild sensuality of the men and isn’t sure that she can keep up. But, if she can’t will they ever come to care for her as she does them? But, not everything on Space Station One was as the brochures said and that is helping them learn the depth of their caring. Will it be enough?

The world of Space Station One is definitely becoming more dangerous as the settlers come into contact with more of the local flora and fauna. And none of these dangers seem to be “important” enough for authorities to tell the settlers before they leave Earth.

Love Between the Hired Hands is the fourth installment in The Men of Space Station One and is just as intriguing and fast paced as book one was. I was drawn in by the growing attraction between Elissa, Gray and Clint despite the differences in their experience levels. Ms. Monroe does a brilliant job in portraying the dangers of the new planet as well as the interactions between the new couple. Love Between the Hired Hands is an erotic adventure in a reality where interplanetary travel is a necessity for the human race.

Love Between the Hired Hands can be read as a standalone story but reading the previous books will help build the understanding and intrigue of the new land for the reader.
