Review – The Kiss Quotient by: Helen Hoang

A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there’s not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.

It doesn’t help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice—with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can’t afford to turn down Stella’s offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan—from foreplay to more-than-missionary position…

Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he’s making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic…

The Kiss Quotient starts off with a spicy bang, however it morphed into an adorably sexy story that I could simply not put down. Witty, sexy, and explorative I adored watching Stella grow throughout this story.

This book was not what I was expecting. I expected a rom-com yet it was much, much more spicy. I was like dang, I’m reading karma sutra but yet I couldn’t put it down. I also really like that Helen wasn’t afraid to have a main character with Autism and loved that she painted Stella is such an intelligent light.

The story of her and Michael is so much more than a romance and I adored their story.
