This book is a fun, flirty read. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next books in this series. This is the first for Bliss, it adds a little extra spice to the nice.What's different and dare I say fun about is story is the fact that both the hero and heroine own/run funeral homes. You don't see many books in this setting and the author does a fantastic job of lightening what could be a dark subject.There is humour, sass, competition, emotional times and of course hot sex.  But what the author does is sets all of this in a small town where everybody knows what everybody else does. As a addict of reading books set in small towns, I loved this. Especially when towards the end of the book the whole town comes together, it bought tears to my eyes.When Ellie is called back to her hometown after her dad is found naked in the park, she never expected that she would need to stay. Years ago she hightailed it out of town as fast as she could and never looked back but now she needs to be there for her dad who has Alzheimer's and his funeral business.Finn, one time crush, taker of Ellie's virginity and competitor in the funeral business. He also left town as soon as he could due to family problems, but now he's back and trying to make a living. When he makes an offer to Ellie to buy her dads business, little does he know that the sparks he felt as a teen with Ellie would flare to life again.As the sparks fly and so does the competition that the two shared all through school, Finn and Ellie both battle to be the last funeral home standing. But when they decide to indulge in a no expectations fling, emotions start to come into play. How can they not when both of then have family dramas that are playing out.But what happens when Ellie betrays Finn's trust and when they realise they have fallen for each other ? Can they overcome their past hurts and ideas of love to find a future ?Keep an eye out for the billboards, they play a big part of the fun in this book and for the scene with the dunk booth.  And if your like me, I am waiting for books for Finn's brothers, they are going to be interesting stories.This is a new author for me and I wasn't disappointed and I love this new style of Bliss books.This books was supplied by the publisher for an honest review.
