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.

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.

Heart-tugging, sexy and utterly joyful - The Kiss Quotient is a book for anyone who has been in love, or in lust...

I really, really enjoyed this book.

I feel kind of bad to laugh at the main character, but she was just so sweet and funny and ugh, I loved her 3 I also really liked Michael, he seemed like a really great fit for her.

The writing style was great. I loved the dialogue, especially Stella's parts. She's just saying what she's thinking - no filter. Stella has Asperger's, and that's one of the things I love about her. She's also very smart, which unfortunately is a thing I don't see too often in romance. I really liked that about her.

Plotwise, there's so much to like! One of my favorite things about this book was the scene where Michael bumps into Elaine. That was just hilarious! Overall, this book had me laughing and smiling.

I had no interest in the author's other book before, but I certainly do now!
