The Kiss Quotient
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis:
It's high time for Stella Lane to settle down and find a husband - or so her mother tells her. This is no easy task for a wealthy, successful woman like Stella, who also happens to have Asperger's. Analyzing data is easy; handling the awkwardness of one-on-one dates is hard. To overcome her lack of dating experience, Stella decides to hire a male escort to teach her how to be a good girlfriend. Faced with mounting bills, Michael decides to use his good looks and charm to make extra cash on the side. He has a very firm no repeat customer policy, but he's tempted to bend that rule when Stella approaches him with an unconventional proposal. The more time they spend together, the harder Michael falls for this disarming woman with a beautiful mind, and Stella discovers that love defies logic.


Holy mother of Michael Phan. This....this DID things to me. I listened to this on audio and there were a few instances where I was driving to work and I had to turn the air-conditioning up to full-throttle. The representation in this book was freaking AMAZING and raw, and made me feel SEEN. Going through my own diagnosis journey of being very neurodivergent has me wanting to bottle this book up and keep it locked in my heart.

- Spice level 3/3 chillis
- Only issue...the use of the word p*ssy...i cant even spell it fully as it makes me physically cringe.
- slight difficulty understanding who's POV I was reading

Can't stand this book. All they do is have sex and suddenly they are in love. 
The MMC also let his ex client kiss him on the mouth and didn't do a thing, guess he doesn't have hands and is unable to push the super Hulk strong petite middle age woman with pawing hands away, oh my mistake. Or turn his face away, or have boundaries and sit away from her I guess. Or not even go sit in the place she patted in the chair? A suggestion.  Hate men with no balls like that, poor FMC had to watch that all while suffering for overstimulation because of the loud noises.
DNF because I wish they talked more. The other dude who forces the FMC into a kiss was also a mustache twirling villain type just to make the MMC seem better in comparison.

what i liked:
this books was soso cute. this is my reread of this bc i read this last year and i didn’t really remember anything that happened so it was a great refresher. i loved the representation in this book. i like seeing the mcs go through different struggles and them getting the rep they deserve.


what i didn’t like:
there really wasn’t things that’s stood out for what i didn’t like. like it was a very enjoyable read but it wasn’t a book that stood out to me if that makes sense?

do i recommend this?
yes! this is a very fluffy read (with a lot of…scenes) but if you like series and are looking for a fluffy romance, read this!!! it was defiwntly what i needed after reading a really dark thriller HEJSJDJS

i loved the diversity & representation. we don’t see that a lot in romance books which needs to change!

Me gustó pero no se siento que esperaba más, en sí la historia es muy básica pero como en toda comedia lo que pesa aquí son los personajes. Stella estaba bien, y Michael también pero no terminaron de gustarme del todo (Michael si por momentos , y por otros no tanto, especialmente al final).
Creo que lo que más me llegó del libro fue el tema de la falta de comunicación y, especialmente en una parte especifica del libro, y desde ahí todo fue en picada.
Si lo recomendaría para una persona que le encanta el romance.
