The Kiss Quotient is the first contemporary romance I have read, and I really enjoyed it!
This story is essentially a gender-swapped Pretty Woman, with a more diverse set of lovable characters.
Stella is an econometrician with autism. Michael is serving as an escort to helppay for his mom's cancer treatment . Pushed by her mom, Stella hires Michael to help her learn to be better at sex and relationships . Seeing their romance develop was incredibly heartwarming for me, and I truly enjoyed this story.
The main criticism I saw before reading was that their relationship felt like insta-love. I would agree with this sentiment, but I did not find it to be bothersome. With this premise, I think it might be a little difficult for the romance to progress without a little insta-love, and thus did not find it to be particularly problematic.
I found this romance to be delightfully unique due to the set of circumstances and diverse cast. I recommend it for any contemporary romance reader!
