I finished The Kiss Quotient. 4.0 stars Summary: 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...

This book is rated R...so don't read it if you have a problem with that. The very premise means they are going to be busy. The basic plot is a gender-swapped Pretty Woman.

Stella is autistic and loves math. She is very very good at it and her job in economics perfectly suits her.

Michael is a stud muffin and a perfectly handsome book boyfriend. He's got the dark, handsome, haunted thing going for him.

The book is filled with family and side characters that are a lot of fun. There's a twist towards the end that I did not see coming, it's pretty funny and will have you shocked and laughing.

As always, I'm interested in the author and how they came to be published. The Kiss Quotient is no different. She was diagnosed as autistic in her thirties when she thought her daughter was autistic. It was not an unsurprising diagnosis and explained a lot of her growing up. Helen Hoang attended Pitch Wars and was able to make connections to get her novel published. The series has two other stories, all in the same world.
