  <default_description>I pay strangers to sleep with me. I have my reasons...

But they're not the ones you expect. For starters, I'm a funeral director taking over my dad's business. Not exactly the sort of person you'd expect to fork over cash for the lust and urgency only live, skin-to-skin contact can create. Looking at me, you wouldn't have a clue I carry this little secret so close it creases up like the folds of a fan. Tight. Personal. Ready to unravel in the heat of the moment.

Unsurprisingly, my line of work brings me face to face with loss. So I decided long ago that paying for sex would be one of the best (and arousing) ways to save myself from the one thing that would eventually cut far too deep.

But Sam was a mistake. Literally. I signed on to &quot;pick up&quot; a stranger at a bar, but took Sam home instead. And now that I've felt his heat, his sweat and everything else can I really go back to impersonal?
Let's just hope he never finds out about my other life...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book. It made me laugh and made me cry. Megan Hart writes like no one else. Her characters are complex and complicated. The main characters fear of love draws you in from the start and the steamy sex scenes are great too. Definately on my keeper shelf.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I lost interest very quickly. I can't remember why I bought this book in the first place. I did not relate to the protagonist in the least, nor did I empathize with her plight. Certainly not my fantasy. <br/><br/><br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Really liked this book, and that the main character was a funeral director. I really enjoy reading a book when its different from anything I have ever read before, and this was one of them.  ;)]]></body>
