The Kiss Quotient was my first contemporary romance I picked up. Helen Hoang’s book was my Book of the Month month’s ago, and I finally decided to pick it up and “get it over with”. Looking back now, I’m so sad I finished it so fast. It was the beginning of my love affair with the genre of contemporary romance.
The heroine, Stella, is not your typical girl. She has Aspergerer’s Syndrome (similar to the author herself) and hires Michael (an escort) to help her practice how to kiss. Their arrangement quickly becomes a practice relationship, which both fear will end when they don’t want it.
Hoang’s development of Stella, her little quirks, and the little details that make her so lovable as a character are what really drew me into this novel. Hoang’s ability to incorporate sexiness and seriousness and compassion into scene after scene was one of the highlights of the novel for me.
I cannot stop recommending this one to friend after friend. Everything about it was just amazing. Obviously, The Kiss Quotient is getting 5 out of 5 stars from me. I cannot wait to read The Bride Test and book #3 in the series when it finally comes out.
