4.5 stars!
•As someone who is not normally attracted to romance reads, it has taken me a long time to pick this up. What a perfect read! I was warned that this would be a steamy read... and wow it was! Definitely a very spicy romance, BUT came with a beautiful story!

Stella feels as though relationships and dating have always been hard for her. Mainly because she has Aspergers. She feels as though her diagnosis defines her. She feels pressure from her parents to have grandkids, as they try to set her up with ‘nice, young men.’ She doesn’t feel like she is ready for a real relationship, and decides to hire a an escort, Michael; to help her learn the ways of a relationship. This story is definitely a modern day reversal of “Pretty Woman.” Stella slowly starts to find herself in more ways than one, while she works with Michael. I loved so many of the characters in this book, and rooted for Stella and Michael from the beginning. I found myself feeling Stella’s feelings as they happened throughout the book. I wanted to laugh and cry with her. I devoured it. A perfect modern romance read that is a wonderful insight into the feelings of those with Aspergers. .

“Michael was mint chocolate chip for her. She could try other flavors, but he’d always be her favorite.” ❤️

“This crusade to fix herself was ending right now. She wasn’t broken. She saw and interacted with the world in an different way, but that was her. She could change her actions, change her words, change her appearance, but she couldn’t change the root of herself. At her core, she would always be autistic. People called it a disorder but it didn’t feel like one. To her, it was simply the way she was.”
