Thank you to BookishFirst and BerkleyPub/Penguin Random House for the advance copy of The Kiss Quotient.
I enjoyed reading this book about Stella and Michael. Stella is autistic, but is high functioning. She is an econometrician. However, she is awkward in social situations and clams up when she has sex. She decides to hire an escort to help her.
Michael is an escort, who is working to pay off his mother's hospital bills because his father ran off with their money. Michael has rules, he only sees a client once, and doesn't let them get attached.
However, when Michael meets Stella, he falls hard. She falls for him, too, but neither one will admit it.
This story is full of hot, steamy sex between Michael and Stella, but it isn't cheap or dirty. You can tell that Michael worships Stella and wants to honor her body, and give her pleasure. Stella is as enthralled with Michael as he is with her.
I liked how the author wove in Stella's autism and the things that bothered her. I liked how she showed compassion in Michael as he cared for his mother. I liked the family dynamics of Michael's family and how much they looked out for each other. His mother is very wise.
I enjoyed this love story.
