ストーリー
Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers. She is nothing like her lifelong best friend - the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content. But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man.

あらすじ・解説
A cosmopolitan title to get excited about in 2018!
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.
The Vietnamese-Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and he agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan - from foreplay to more-than-missionary position... Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses but also to crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges convinces Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Enjoyable and Sexy
This book could also be titled "Autistic Woman Has Sex," and sex is about 60% of the book. While sex is a key part of the development of the relationship and the scenes were well written and well performed, I admit there were one or two times I was waiting for the sex to end so we could get back to the plot. This is bc Hoang created two compelling characters here, and Stella herself provides such a freshness of perspective on falling in love. P.S. If you like this one, check out Courtney Milan's Trade Me.

It's a lot...
the story was really cute ,but theres a lot of descriptive sex, and not the creative kind. I've read other books with the "hot damn" description but this one basically the first half of the book is constant sex scenes. the second half isn't as bad, but it is a little excessive for my taste. If you like that kind of stuff, it's great, but I almost had to give up. narrator is awesome though.

Loved this!
This was a new author for me and a new narrator. Both were so fun with this book. I loved the characters and thought they were well rounded. The narrator made their voices come to life. I will gladly find both again and try more.
I don't speak Vietnamese, so unsure if things are pronounced correctly, but seeing the ebook and listening made me glad to know how to not pronounce things.
The secondary characters were so much fun and I am curious about possibly learning more about Michael's family.

I'd buy these two undies.
This book was a fun romance to romp through. I went in expecting it to be similar to The Rosie Project...that it is not! It's got some pretty vividly explicit sex scenes. Those don't bother me but can be a shocker if you aren't expecting them to pop up.
I also felt like this book portrayed both instalove and slow burn at the same time. Not being a fan of instalove at all, I greatly enjoyed the ways that also made this a slow burn romance.
It's definitely a quick one to get through and lots of fun getting there (expect several chuckles along the way!).

Not only corny...
This book devolved in my opinion. It started out like a typical, semi-cheesy romance and ended painfully. The men in this book are just awful. Michael, in particular is maddening. Even after he finds out Stella is autistic, he makes everything about him, ignoring the fact that the way she experiences things is going to be different (unless of course they're having sex, then he is very thoughtful and considerate of her feelings). I am over the "I can't love you because I'm too messed up" narrative. Not for me.

Just couldn't get into it
I'm surprised by so many positive reviews. I listened to about 4 hours and gave up. I didn't find Stella endearing or Michael's instant attraction believable. I'm not bothered by descriptive scenes, I just didn't care about the characters. I love books with flawed characters, but this missed the mark for me.

Quirky sweet socially challenged nerd + tormented, hot Korean hunk= HEA
New author to me, Helen Hoang, offered me some fresh elements- at least unusual in that I can’t remember reading a romance where these characteristics were central to the h or H. Stella, the h is a really endearing character- an econometrics professional who is extremely successful in her field, probably partially due to her hyper focus on her job because her Aspergers makes a social life problematic- and a love life and dating has been confusing and unsatisfying too. Missed signals are just one problem. But now, to complicate matters, as she neared 30 her Mom has expressed her hope for grandchildren and has been pressing for her to date more. Stella’s parents are not a problem- they seem supportive in their way and she loves them and sees them often. So, she just would like to make them happy- if only she could figure out how. A chance conversation in her office inspires her and she bravely comes up with a Plan. On the face of it, a goofy plan...but intellectually... probably pretty sound! She will hire a tutor who will teach her and help her figure out what has been going wrong in her relationships with men in the past. Then she can fix it, and because he will be objective and a professional there won’t be emotions involved. Enter Michael. Yummmm...Michael. Google Daniel Denny (if you don’t already know who this hunky part, I think, Korean actor- “Criminal Minds” among many others). His reasons for becoming an “ escort” are very complex but she still got lucky when she selected him to teach her. Their story...learning about them, their families, their backstories, quirks- all of it- is very satisfying. Interesting characters, interesting issues, interesting resolutions. In typical plot device fashion, I didn’t agree with every choice...but how that initial simple agreement went through a metamorphosis as the journey progressed and actually taught both of them lessons - about themselves and their lives and about Choices- was satisfying. I also liked that the author presented the characters main issues unapologetically- never wimping out. I kept going to the end and you probably will to. Try it!

**Blush**

Not what I expected. Listened to the end but annoyingly obvious.
I thought this book would talk a lot more about the intricacies of living with Aspergers and be a bit cleverer about the story line. The story was sexually explicit but that was a bit boring rather than making it more exciting. I listened to the end as I did want to find out what happened but it’s a bit predictable.

Worth a listen but nothing groundbreaking
I was drawn to this book by the interesting concept of looking at sex through the lens of asperger's. It was interesting but nothing special.
Some parts of the story seemed pretty forced, the initial dry cleaners bump into eachother and Michael's conflict with his dad was an unnecessary layer.
Not a book I would listen to again, but not a wholly enjoyable experience. If you are new to erotic literature (other than 50 shades), this isn't a bad place to start.

Terrible Narrartion
I think I may have enjoyed this story more if I’d read it rather than listened to it. The narration is overly dramatic, and specifically poor at narrating the male voices. I often found myself laughing at how ridiculous it sounded. The story itself could have been better, but it was a cute easy listen.

4.5 stars
I don’t don’t why this book hasn’t got a higher rating. It has won a Goodread award and kept cropping up in my recommendations so I thought I’d give it a whirl despite the rating being around 4 (and on Audible most people seem to rate way too generously which is frustrating, so 4 is usually not that great).
Quality wise it’s up there with my favourite romance authors who have good character development, interesting plots and believable chemistry. I was really absorbed throughout, and the only thing that let it down was the lack of effective communication drama towards the end. Even that didn’t negatively effect it too much for me because overall it was great, so only took half a star off.
I’ll be looking out for more from this author.

Terribly disappointed
I am perplexed this rated so highly by so many people. The story is farfetched, and the ending way too clean and convenient. The use of Autism as a plot device was poorly utilised, and clearly very overused. I finished the book in the hope I would learn the reason behind the hype, but alas, I was sorely disappointed.

Narration was amazing.
Until the characters started having sex I was spellbound. Then I needed to skip nearly whole chapters of boring sex to get back to a decent story. Sorry, it was just too much, detail by detail, sex. If its going to be a sweet love story with the bite of quirkiness that made it interesting, then leave it sweetish please. Sex is ok in small doses where it is integral to the story. Those other novels that have lots of steamy sex throughout several chapters have sexual tension and perhaps conflict between the characters to get you there with the characters. Otherwise you feel like you are just watching...eeww.

Pretty poor.
A really simplistic and clichéd narrative. I'm not sure how adequate the represenation of a person on the Autism spectrum is. It comes across as if the author did the minimum amount of research required for it and includes this woman as a mere plot gimick. Some of the dialogue between two romantic leads is quite cute.

A Book I Went Into Worried
I heard this book had a lot of a sex scenes and I went into the book worried that it was going to focus on that. But there weren't that many sex scenes and they weren't too vivid either.
I loved the characters and thought the two main characters - Stella and Michael - had great chemistry. The addition of Stella having Autism brought new light into a book that could've been to cliche.
The narrator was clear and did a great job at reading the book. I will be looking for more books read by her in the future.

kinda boring
Usually I devour all romance but this one really dragged. I struggled to finish. It just felt like the story was going in circles with no real development. I finished the book but wont be rushing to pick up another one by this author in a while.

Quirky Romance - NSFW
I really enjoyed this book. I saw it ages ago at the airport in a bookshop and bought it here on sale.
It was WAY more steamy than I was expecting it to be - maybe don't listen at work!
I thought some of the representations of her autism were a little cliche, but I respect and love that the author is speaking from experience. Sweet and adorable and the right amount of predictable, I definitely enjoyed this one.

entertaining but predictable
I bought this expecting something like The Rosie Project. I liked it but was not expecting all of the love scenes, I should read reviews and synopsis more! also I think the depiction of autism was oversimplified but good at identifying positive aspects.
