Stranger by Megan Hart, 4

Book description: I pay strangers to sleep with me. I have my reasons….
But they're not the ones you'd expect.

For starters, I'm a funeral director taking over my dad's business. Not exactly the kind 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 "pick up" 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.…

Review: Stranger is my favorite Megan Hart book so far. Like all of Hart’s other heroines, Grace is a complex character and I was never bored spending time in her head. I also enjoyed her romance with Sam and her relationship with Jack and I felt that both were equally well developed. This book does have some sad moments but it isn’t nearly as depressing as some of Hart’s other books. The only thing I didn’t like about this book was the end. It fit well with the tone of the book but I wish it had been happier.
