This is STEAMY! I got so into this book I didn’t even take notes to write a proper review and stayed up all night even though I had work the next day.
To be clear, I usually am not a romance fan. I don’t mind romance, but I hate how boring and predictable the genre can be. I also really hate how freaking WHITE it is. If you find me adult romances with Asian or Black leads, I will first be shocked, and then I will be thrilled. Finally, I hate how sexist the romance genre is. It’s full of women hating women and men only wanting “pure” women and slut shaming and women having to put up with horrible men when it’s supposed to be “romantic”. This book had none of that.
This book is about Stella, a sucessful economist. She loves her job and her life, but her mother keeps pressuring her to find a boyfriend. The only problem is that she is autistic, what used to be classified as Aspergers, and hates when people touch her without permission and french kisses. She hires Michael, a male escort, to teach her how to have sex. Michael also happens to be half Vietnamese and look like Daniel Henney, super hot K-drama star, *swoon*. Of course, they fall in love.
OK, the plot is a little predictable, but the writing and the story are just so good.
