Basically the same book as The Kiss Quotient (Quan and Michael are extremely similar, as are Stella and Anna). but TKQ was one of my favorite books of the year so I’m not complaining. However I’m putting this a star lower because it’s so freaking sad! And not in a sweet romantic way…the tragedy comes from Anna’s family and how much they completely suck (and never get better). This book has seriously heavy material that I was not expecting from a romance, especially in this series. My least favorite of the 3, but TKQ and The Bride Test are hard to beat.
