I really enjoyed the first half of this book, but the second half was too fast-paced for my liking.

I knew this book was going to have smut in it, but it had way more than I expected. I think that affected my enjoyment a bit, because I’m not the biggest fan of smut. If you don’t enjoy smut, definitely do not read this book, because it is unavoidable. 

Stella was a bit too relatable, it’s kinda scary… should I be worried???? Should I get tested, or what?

In the beginning, I really liked Michael, but as the book progressed, I didn’t like him as much. I still like him though, I just felt that he was quite ‘forceful’ with Stella. I don’t know if I misinterpreted it, but there was a smut scene where she was uncomfortable and he said something along the lines of: “give me a minute, I need this.” And I was so confused???

This review makes me seem like I hate this book — I don’t. I actually really enjoyed it, I just don’t think I’d want to read something similar to this any time soon.

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted

4.5

En bok som är väldigt underhållande och hela tiden håller ens intresse fångat. 

Stella älskar sitt jobb men det tar upp all hennes tid. När Stella bestämmer sig för att hitta någon, inser hon att hon inte har "tillräckligt" med erfarenhet. Detta gör att hon fattar det enda logiska beslutet, att hyra en escort. Michael hatar sitt jobb men är i ständigt behov av pengar vilket gör att han tackar ja till Stellas erbjudande. Men när ett professionellt förhållande förändras till något annat förändras allt. 

Jag tyckte att boken var väldigt underhållande, rolig och intresseväckande. Den var också lite steamy. Rekommenderar till den som vill ha en gullig romans med mycket känslor och spice. 18+ (eller inte)

Did not expect Stella to hire an escort. Story was super cute. Michael setting standards high. Loved seeing representation of autism.

This was a romcom that was equal parts cute and steamy! I really wasn’t expecting so much spice! But I love the movie Pretty Woman so this gender swapped retelling was fun. I love all the representation: Asian characters, autistic mc, male sex worker, etc. plus the discussion questions at the end really help to understand the aspects of these representations. It would’ve been a four star read but the last third of the book kind of dragged out due to miscommunication.

A very steamy read with lots of connection between the lead male and female protagonists. I loved hearing them fall in love with each other without letting the other know their feelings.
