The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
4.0
The Kiss Quotient.
•
The last erotic fiction that I read was Fifty shades of grey series few years ago. Never did I think that The Kiss Quotient would fall under the same category. When I read the blurb of the story, I did not expect it to be so graphic in narration. Though the storyline is quite predictable, the writing flair of the author is what truly matters. It's easy and fluid and before you know it, you're done with the book. I'm not one to appreciate romance novels much but this one was a fun read.

Stella Lane is a successful woman in her late twenties who has trouble sticking to relationships. She hates the idea of touching, kissing and especially hates sex because she's autistic. She has had couple of dates which fizzled out into nothing very quickly. With her parents pressuring her to get married and give them grandchildren, Stella comes up with a plan to get her acquainted with sex. She goes through a male escort service and picks a man to teach her how to become proficient in having intercourse. But she soon forgets about her practice relationship when she meets the guy for the first time.

Michael Larsen is a stunning man who works as an escort to pay for his mother's medical bills. When his father abandons the family, Michael steps up to look after them immediately by shelving his dreams. Never has he ever enjoyed the escort services that he provided but it all changes when he meets Stella. Stella with her sweet and shy personality pulls Michael towards her with a stunning amount of force. The book encloses their sexual encounters in vivid colours. It's detailed but not so vulgar. I especially loved how the author paints a detailed picture of what autism feels like.
•
A surprisingly light read that one can enjoy to take a break from all the heavy reading. I'd recommend it to those who enjoy romance and are looking for something that's funny and quirky.

Rating - 4/5.
