This romance novel rocked my world! Stella is an autistic woman who is unlucky in love. So she hires an escort to give her some pointers. Enter Michael, a hot escort that finds himself recognizing something familiar in his client. His cousin has autism too.
Stella is the type of character that you want to see succeed. The part of the book where the pair break up (part of the romance formula) is totally heartbreaking. The way Michael thoughtfully introduces Stella to physical affection is not only professional but also very sweet.
This is the first book in a series with autistic protagonists. While there are other romance novels with autistic leads, this is the first one that seems to have broken through a bit. It’s not a new genre but it’s only recently there has been more widespread inclusion of autistic people in society. People can be so cruel but this novel features a world that is not just better, but feels achievable.
