Megan Hart doesn't write books the way other authors do. Her books sometimes have ambiguous endings and characters that are deeply flawed. The heroine in this particular story is very guarded. Rather than have relationships, she hires for no strings attached sex male escorts from a discreet agency. The rest of the time she runs a busy funeral home she inherited from her overbearing father.

Hart did a great job educating readers about the funeral home business. I didn't know a thing about what it takes to run a place like that, but now I do. The heroine's reason for not having relationships seemed flimsy, but it doesn't take much to build walls around a person's heart. I liked the heroine. She is smart, hard working, unafraid of her sexuality. The hero was likable too. He is the brother of Dan who showed up in Hart's book, Dirty. This book is steamy, but I wouldn't classify it as erotica. It's more graphic than your usual adult contemporary fiction though.

The male escort featured pretty heavily in this book is mentioned in Hart's other book, Naked. You see "him" from the point of view of his girlfriend.
