Next up for library reads....

Interesting and complex characters with an interesting story line. Definitely a little raunchier than I expected, but it worked with the overall theme of the book.

I love this book despite the sexually explicit content. Such a page turner and i enjoyed reading it till the last page. 💛 I dont know how it feels to be born differently but somehow i understand the fear of rejection and wanting to be socially accepted in society. To whom it may concern, just believe in yourself and surround yourself with only positive people who value everything you are even with your peculiarity.

December 27, 2019 Oh my gawd!!!! I am not sure how I am liking this book!!! It is a romance novel (and i do loke reading romance novels) but there is so much erotic language in this book. I think the story line is interesting, however from page 163-172

I know I'm in the minority in this one. But I just couldn't connect with the characters. Also, I can't stand romances that are based on the physical stuff first and where everything else comes later. It's just sad to me. I really wanted to like it bc of the Asperger's representation, but found myself dreading getting in the car to start listening. Steamy, but without much substance in my opinion 🤷

This was a delightful surprise. I don‘t know why I didn‘t read it sooner.

BOOK REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely fell in love with the characters of #TheKissQuotient by @hhoangwrites! I was drawn into the story line from page one and finish this book in 2 days! I was so sad when it was over! The whole time I was praying both Stella and Michael would open up their hearts to one another instead of keeping their feelings to themselves! It was an excellent depiction that love is love no matter what the situation!!

I enjoyed this sooo much!! The writer was able to guide the reader on this amazing journey of understanding the perspective differences that make us unique and how the characters melded together.

I knew this was a romance book that I was interested in reading, but I was not expecting to finish the entire book in less than 6 hours! Once I started reading it, I literally couldn't put it down. It's a good thing I don't have any major plans for today, since I stayed up all night reading. 🙃

Fun read. Also, 100% a how-to-please-a-woman sex manual! No joke! :) #erotica

This book is about a 30-year-old woman with Aspergers syndrome who hires a male escort to teach her how to “be good” at sex and be in a relationship. It was funny, lighthearted, and endearing, but I was quite surprised to find it filled with so many detailed sex scenes!

Holy cow! The sweet cover didn‘t prepare me for the erotica inside! ;)

Ten minutes is ten minutes

Excited to read this book as it was inspired by the authors love journey. She was diagnosed with Autism at age 34.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The kiss quotient is about a high functioning autistic woman who works as an economist. She has succeeded in every part of her life except relationships. Her mother is constantly putting pressure on her to get married and have babies now that she has turned thirty.
Micheal a Vietnamese Swedish heartthrob is such a sweet and adorable character.He usually doesn‘t see a client more than the one time, so they don‘t get attached.

Kids in bed, curled up on the couch about to dive into this one tonight.

This book is 🔥🔥🔥. Discovered this delightful (and steamy) read while lounging at our Peruvian Amazon lodge. Not a bad way to spend some down time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved it! I‘m such a hopeless romantic. I couldn‘t put this down, I just kept wanting to see if they would end up together and if they did or didn‘t how it would all unravel.

Beautifully told highlighting the differences between females and males in their autistic traits.

Looking forward to reading more of Hoang‘s novels!

I saw someone recommended this novel on here and I loved the reviews! Thought I would try something lighthearted before I delve into the darkness of the later half of the Harry Potter series. 💕📚

"Grandchildren meant babies. And diapers. Mountains of diapers. Exploding diapers. And babies cried, soul-grating banshee wails that even the best sound-canceling headphones couldn't buffer. How did they cry so long and hard when they were so little?" ?

After reading The Bride Test, thought I'd check this out too.

Holy cow! This one races right into the steamy, doesn‘t it? Aren‘t my reading companions the best? #schnauzersoflitsy #catsoflitsy Actually, this critter closeness is pretty unprecedented so I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I really enjoyed this book! I really enjoyed the ending, too. ❤️

This is such an adorable book. There are some seriously steamy moments, but mostly the book just pulls at your heartstrings time and time again. Can‘t wait to check out The Bride Test, written by the same author. 💙💚

This was such a cute quick love story. I read it in a day and fell in love with the characters. It‘s strange to be calling a book with such hot, steamy sex scenes cute but that‘s what it was. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG this book!!! I needed a break from my heavier reading material and this definitely was a perfect novel for it. I gobbled this up in just a few days! Charming, sweet, and it tugged on my heart strings. My inner hopeless romantic is shouting with joy. #thekissquotient #romance #autism #aspergers

I figured I'd reread a favourite for my 200th book to hit my yearly reading goal.

I hate that I DNF'd this book. Everyone raved about it. But It made me very uncomfortable Things Michael would say or think made me cringe. how he saw his clients but "Stella was different".
How she hated on herself made me uncomfortable more on a personal level that had nothing to do with the book. That was just putting me in a headspace I've fought hard to get out of. I will give this author another chance, this story just wasn't for me.

#unpopularopinion I can't get on board with the premise of this book (Stella needs to learn how to be intimate because of her autism) - Stella has been having bad sex because she's been with bad partners who don't care about her needs or pleasure. Stella is not having bad sex because she's autistic. The bar is set WAY too low for me to be excited about Michael, who, while great with Stella, is otherwise stereotypically emotionally unintelligent.

So during the #24in48 read-a-thon, I challenged myself to read a contemporary romance novel: Ayesha at Last. Someone should have warned me it was a gateway book. In the past 2 days, I devoured The Right Swipe (Alisha Rai - so good!) and The Kiss Quotient. All of these were smart, sexy, and diverse! I‘m excited to read more!

..but I feel lost in this newfound world of romance. What should I read next?

Just sat through my first lecture of grad school! I've been going through syllabi and doing intro posts all morning, so now it's time to burn off some nervous energy. 😬

Btw, I'm in love with this book. Admittedly, it's a bit steamier and NSFW than I expected, buuuut that paired with Stella's quirks and Michael's sensitivity is making this a 5 star read for me. 😉

This bit made me laugh so hard. 😂

Just over here casually pretending it's not 100 degrees out while I light my "snuggly sweater" candle and curl up with a blanket while I blast the AC.

I'm taking your guys' recommendation of reading a quick book to get over this slump. I've heard reallyyy good things about this one, so I'm excited to dive in. ?

Look, I'm a simple white woman. I love pumpkin spiced lattes, universal healthcare, puppies, Christmas movies that are LITERALLY the same plot used over and over again, and stories where a prostitute with a heart of gold and their wealthy client fall in love.

I deadass went to the bookstore 3 chapters in on the audiobook and picked up my copy because Stella pulled a taser out on her first session. I'm going to abusively reread this.

Everyone has just RAVED about this book for the sexy time + own voices Asperger's rep and it's free via the Audible Escape romance subscription so I gotta give it a shot

A in Arithmancy NEWTs: 3.75⭐️

A cute story about a very numbers and detail oriented women who is worried her autism is keeping her from having a relationship. To solve this, she decides to hire a male escort to teach her about sex and how to act in a relationship. I really liked a lot of conversations Stella and Michael had and I loved how his day job worked well with her.

Well, you all weren‘t kidding when you said this was seriously steamy!

I don‘t usually read romance unless it‘s queer, but I was interested in the autistic main character. I thought Hoang handled it really well. I enjoyed the progression of the relationship, but I certainly blushed a good deal while reading, even though I was alone in my car. Lol.

If you‘re into unconventional romance, I‘d highly recommend this.

(I stole this pic) This was such a fun, sexy, cute book. After going too hard on Murder podcasts I needed a sweet, cute listen to clean my palette. And this was charming.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I had seen it on a few lists, and heard about it in my book club. I liked how the author switched perspectives between characters- it gave me perspective on what romance for someone on the autism spectrum could be like.

Edit: I also loved the technical aspects of sewing/clothing construction/etc. that both Stella and Michael talked about!

I‘m reading the Kiss Quotient, not Why Kill the Innocent. I just got to the parking lot scene at the gala and I realize my book print got screwed up!!!!! 😭 This is not ok!

#sad #misprint #dead #whyme #mpls #twincities

Started a mini book club with my friend who doesn‘t normally read. Since we don‘t read at the same speed we settled on a little over a month before we agreed to meet up on it. I started this last night we meet Sunday and I‘m having fun. I‘m tabbing this up a bit for our meet and it‘s weird for me because I‘ve never done that for a fiction but it‘s going well. Can‘t wait to read more!

#bookclub #romance #contemporary #mpls #twincities

Thoroughly enjoyable

I really, really enjoyed the chemistry on the page between Michael and Stella. The plot certainly follows a familiar formula but it was fun.

This number isn‘t entirely accurate since I forgot to pause the stopwatch at some point yesterday (subtract around 2 hours).

It was The Kiss Quotient most of the day. I didn‘t want to stop listening.

#24B4Monday

I wasn‘t planning on participating in #24B4Monday because I have so much going on this weekend, but then I thought, “What better way to practice self-care than to read for fun?”

There is so much to love about this book! The characters, their chemistry, the romance! And wow, it is STEAMY! The intimacy is just gorgeous. I adore Stella and Michael. I am now rushing out to buy anything else written by Helen Hoang.
