Stranger

By: Megan Hart

Narrated by: Gia St. Claire

Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

"...the story of a real and complex woman caught in a difficult situation with no easy answers. Well-developed secondary characters and a compelling plot add depth to this absorbing and enticing work." ( Library Journal on Broken)
"Ms. Hart is a master of all genres. Her stories grip you from the onset." ( Romance Junkies)

Great Characters and Story

As usual Megan Hart has created very believable characters and a great story. I have enjoyed many of her writings and Stranger is no exception to her excellent quality or work. I enjoyed the relationship of characters to Dirty.

The narrators voice is very feminine so the male voices are not the strongest. But I still enjoyed the audio book very much.

DNF

I rated this a 3, since I can’t give a DNF a 1. Maybe the story eventually gets better. But I’m at chapter 6, and have no idea where this is going, if anywhere. I’m making a call that’s it’s not worth my time to find out. Good narrator, but she isn’t sensual enough to pull of sexy scenes. She may as well be talking about the weather.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book however, I found it a little too far fetched in the reality department but hey
do we read Megan Hart's books for the fantasy or the reality. This book will take you away from real life for the 12 hours or so.

Another good book from Megan Hart

If you’ve listened to books by Megan Hart before, how does this one compare?

Not as good of some of the other books Megan has written I like them a little hotter but still interesting.

WOW!

I love Megan Hart books. Happily ever after is for disney and little girls, but Megan writes for women ( and men if they like romance).
I love the men in the story, but Jack is my favorite because he's so open emotionally, sexually and intellectually. He makes cameo appearances in Naked and Dirty and I would love to see what happens with Jack and Sarah! I find Sam a bit weak and it pissed me off. WTF! was my reaction of Claire and Sam's relationship. Eventhough, Sam's character is weak he's still a nice guy women can love, but I love the bad boys! ;)
I would have given 5 stars, but the narrator's voice is so girlish and her masculine voices were appalling makes them sound like wimps.

Great Story

This was the first book I listened to that was written by Megan Hart. I love how she was so detailed in how the surroundings smelled and looked, it made you feel like you were there and could actually see the characters. It had me laughing and crying. I definitely will buy another of her books.

About Stranger, worth the credit

Megan Hart is a good writer with well developed charaters. I hope audible gets the new book "Naked" which features the character Alex. Alex is also in "Tempted". Please get more Hart audio books. Even with out all the steamy stuff this author would be a great writer. This book and the author gets Five Stars.

An OK read

Any additional comments?

the story was very long and drawn out.....my only question is....who was the blond with the kid at the end??? And what happened to her????

Worth It

I Love Megan Hart Stories. Another ball out the the park. This was great, worth the money.

Good Story!

At first I thought this was going to be trashy by the name of it. But it wound up being a good story.
