The Kiss Quotient
(The Kiss Quotient #1)
by
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases--a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice--with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan--from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he's making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

My The Kiss Quotient Review . . .
Gah! Such a great book. I loved that it was outside the norm of this genre.
Gah! Such a great book. I loved that it was outside the norm of this genre.
It's a bit Pretty woman meets Asperger's.
Such a great story and I loved all the characters.
Stella is a woman who has Asperger's. She tries to hide her quirks but its not always easy, especially where it comes to the opposite sex.
Stella is a woman who wants to learn and be an expert at all things, even sex and relationships. Which makes her sought out an escort service where she meets Michael.
Michael hides his escort life and he never does repeats, but there is something about Stella that makes him want to help her and be near her.
When Stella starts to get overstimulated you feel her pain with her and feel like you are also experiencing what she's experiencing. That part was so well written.
I absolutely adored Stella and Michael together and I LOVED Michael's family.
In the romance genre one of my biggest pet peeves is assumptions and miscommunications. And sadly this book had a bit of it.
~ I was certain you didn't love me back~
Don't get me wrong I totally understand why it was there, as they both had their own issues which led to the assumptions but I still wish the assumption part wasn't there. Because its a personal pet peeve it got in the way a bit for me, otherwise I would have completely been head over heels for this book. And it's only my pet peeve so anyone who doesn't have that issue will love this book from start to finish.
As I was looking up Goodreads for this book, I just found out that this book is now part of a series and book 2 will be coming out next year!!! OMG!! OMG!! I can't wait for Khai's story.
4 Love is all that matters thumbs up!
