Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - The Kiss Quotient

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)

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.

fun, quick read. some topics not addressed well, i. e racial fetishization, sexual assault, etc. Not fully developed characters, but still a fun, light story. Reads like a fanfic in some aspects.

I thought this was for the most part a solid romance that had me swooning and laughing and sometimes crying throughout. It was so heartfelt! It was not only so nice to see an autistic leading lady, but to know that said leading lady was written by an autistic author just made me so happy. Stella jumps off the page and I can see how her character resonates with so many women on the autism spectrum. The only time I ran into trouble with this book was when it began having the tendency to lean a little too hard into the miscommunication trope. If it made a single appearance, I maybe would have been able to look past it, but it was kind of all over the place and coming up a lot. Overall though, I did love this book and I think if you want to read a unique romance novel with an autistic heroine, this is the one.

I am an autistic woman and found this book delightful. The portrayal of the internal experience of autism is beautifully realistic, along with the descriptions of various scenarios that were difficult for the heroine, but not so intense that I felt overwhelmed, as sometimes happens when books about us are written by the non autistic. I also appreciated the several characters who showed Stella compassion without pity, as well as her frank kindness and the way she learned to value herself.
