I'll agree that this book was different. I have mixed feelings about it.
I thought that the main character Grace's excuse for hiring her boyfriends from an agency to avoid emotional entanglements to be kind of a flimsy one. She states that because she watches others grieving over their loved ones as she runs her funeral home, she wishes to avoid having to do this. Therefore, she hires her sexual partners from a discreet agency.
During one of these "encounters", she begins seeing an escort named Jack, who I actually found myself liking better than the "stranger" Sam that Grace meets in the beginning of the story and that the actual story revolves around. The secondary "relationship" that runs through the book is almost more interesting than the one involving the main characters. Their role playing scenes were some of the best parts of the book.
The story also has several side things going on... Grace's co-workers have a romance, her sister is going through emotional issues, and there are also issues with her father. While it made the story an interesting read, I'm not sure if I like all these emotional issues going on in the middle of my erotica. Grace's job as a funeral director is described quite often as well, and I found that to be a bit depressing. Overall, though, an interesting read.
