The Kiss Quotient: The Kiss Quotient Book 1 by Helen Hoang

A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel, Helen Hoang’s first book proves one thing: there’s not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
Heart-tugging, sexy and utterly joyful – The Kiss Quotient is a book for anyone who has been in love, or in lust…

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. Analysing data is easy; handling the awkwardness of one-on-one dates is hard. To overcome her lack of knowledge in the dating department, 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 with Stella’s offer of 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.

Totally Booked UK Review: Feeling the added pressure from her parents (her mother, mostly) about settling down and having children, Stella worries that this might never happen for her as she finds intimacy too overwhelming. Her day-to-day real life is managed with routines and analysing data. Her Asperger’s is something that she is embarrassed about, and she fears that others will treat her differently.

A comment from a co-worker (and the man that her mother would like her to date) about how she should get some practical practice if she wants to be successful in a romantic relationship leads her to look for a teacher. A teacher will show her how to manage all the physical aspects of a relationship so that when she does get a date, she won’t freeze up or not enjoy the experience.

Step in escort Michael Phan, whom Stella hires. He is patient and kind to her and, despite his usual practices, agrees to three additional repeat appointments to guide her through emotions and physical contact.

They are hiding secrets and feelings that go beyond client relations – can they overcome all the obstacles? It is a love story highlighting the issues an autistic woman faces with high-functioning autism as well as the responsibility and pressure that families can come with.

The Bride Test: The Kiss Quotient Book 2 by Helen Hoang

Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, not big, important emotions – like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better – that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly refuses to consider a relationship, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.

As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. So when the opportunity arises to go to America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn it down. This could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go quite as planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working… but only on herself. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.

As Esme’s time in the United States dwindles, will Khai let his head catch up with his heart? Will he find the strength to let go, and let love in?

The Heart Principle: The Kiss Quotient Book 3 by Helen Hoang

A woman struggling with burnout learns to embrace the unexpected – and the man she enlists to help her – in this heartfelt romance.

When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself overwhelmed trying to live up to it. And when her longtime boyfriend of five years announces that he wants an open relationship, a hurt and angry Anna decides to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better.

Enter tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second and their third – because being with Quan is about more than sex. But when tragedy strikes Anna’s family, she takes on a role that threatens to destroy her. Now, Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.
