This book was okay. I feel like the author focused too much on the FMC considering autism a disability and then “realized” at the end that it wasn’t a disorder. In my opinion, there were too many graphic sex scenes. The MMC got mad because he thought the FMC was only with him for sex but he was the one constantly talking about/thinking about sex. I’ve read too many great romances to be truly interested in this one.
6 FANTASTIC STARS!!!!
OOOOohh YES! Did I find my favorite book of 2018 so far?? YES I DID! This book was so heart warmingly sweet that I just did not want to put it down! Stella and Michael are one of my all time favorite couples! Just too cute!
Stella is a econometrician who spends all of her time at work. Due to her Asperger's she has a difficult time dealing with people, especially those in large loud groups, so spending her days with numbers is much more her style. When her mother starts to pressure her into the marriage and children route Stella begins to panic. Sex has never been appealing to her and she feels as though she is not doing it right. So, she seeks out a professional.
Once a week Micheal is an escort and winds up with Stella as his client. He does not take repeat clients but quickly sees how vulnerable Stella is and decides to make an exception. The amount of time the two spend together heads to a much deeper bond then Micheal was originally planning on experiencing.
I loved everything about this book! While some of the plot was predictable, as this trope has been done before, it was completely new and refreshing with the cast of characters in the story!! I absolutely LOVED that this book was so inclusive and representative of different diversities!
Aside from the fact that I was thrilled with all the diversity, the story itself is SO CUTE. It's one of those books that just has you smiling the entire time that you read it! I definately know that I will be reading this one over and over again. AND THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER ONE IN THIS SERIES!! Literally can I get any more excited!!!!
Basically what I'm saying is that YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE! Up there in my all time fave list for sure!!

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

Not as good as the bride test but still very enjoyable. Felt like the ending could've been stronger with some apology and explanation from Michael but it was pretty low stakes so what're ya gunna do
A sweet story! Looking forward to reading Khai’s story since I didn’t want this one to end. Every girl deserves a Michael who loves her for who she is, “flaws” and all.

Third act break up. Cute heartwarming romance with autism as a focus. Didn’t love creepy coworker trope. Heavier smut than strict romance book. Happy ending.
If you think consent isn't sexy, this book should change your mind in a heartbeat. Lovely fluffy romance that's a quick read.
