The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
5.0
“Everyone deserved to love and be loved back. Everyone. Even her.”
Khai thinks he’s defective and incapable of showing any emotions like grief and love. The accountant loves his routine and drowning himself in numbers. His family know him better and that his autism just means he processed things differently. As a rule Khai doesn’t let anyone new in so his mother takes his dating life into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find Khai a wife.
Esme is a mixed race girl living with her mother, great grandmother and her daughter. Working away at her hotel job she crosses paths with a woman trying to find her American son a husband. It’s an offer Esme cannot turn down so she leaves her family behind to make a better life for them, while attempting the seduce Khai along the way.
Esme finds herself smitten with Khai even though he’s made it clear he can never return the affection and feelings she desires. Khai does not like being touched and being touched without warning.
When Esme realises that he does feel for her however cannot give in to his desires she takes her future into her own hands and begins to make a life for herself and her family. Leaving Khai to face the feelings he been pushing as side all along. Love isn’t perfect and for some love looks and feels completely different, it’s what makes you feel whole!
I love Helen Hoang and would read a absolutely anything she writers. Hoang is an auto buy author for me and I cannot wait to see what’s comes next. I’ve now completed The Kiss Quotient series, if you havnt read The Kiss Quotient and The Heart Principle this is your sign to do it!
