Welcome to Litsy!

50 pages in and so far I want to both laugh and cry with Stella. And please, can we see a picture of Michael‘s amazing tattoo?!!! #PrettyPlease

This was really difficult for me to read. A lot of the main character's hard/"bad"/uncomfortable moments and thoughts hit *way too close to home*.

It's a good read. And I recommend this one.

Now I see why this book was constantly coming up in my Litsy feed. "The Kiss Quotient" is deliciously good! Michael charmed me so much to the point where I wanted him to be my boyfriend! ? As for Stella, I have not met a heroine as sweet and true hearted as she. I just couldn't get enough of either of them! The secondary characters added to the beauty of this novel and I definitely cannot wait for Quan's story. I know it's coming. ?

Had to take advantage of the #halfpricebooks sale this past weekend. I‘ve been on a #Goosebumps and #blackdaggerbrotherhood buying binge lately. 👻💀🧛‍♂️📚 Starting the fourth BDB book tonight! Also very excited for The Kiss Quotient and Outlander! #bookhaul

Unpopular opinion, I know!
I loved Stella, she was a unique and lovable character. But aside from her, this didn't transcend any of the romance tropes that make me roll my eyes. I would definitely recommend for romance fans in general, though. It's good. I think I was just hoping for something more.

Michael & Stella may be #lovefool(s) #lilithjuly.

(I may also be one as I read this book on Anne Hegerty's birthday!)

This was such a sweet romance novel! I loved every second of it, and the characters were all likable in a realistic way. Definitely want to read her newest book next! #romance #litsyAtoZ

This was a really cute story. It was more graphic than I expected but I really liked that the MC was autistic. #litsytbrlist

I wanted to pick this for #BOTN choice but found it at the library instead. #supersexysummerread

Not my usual genre, but I really enjoyed these first two books in The Kiss Quotient series. The characters are lovable and quirky. Light, fast (and yes, steamy) reads--perfect for summer. I devoured them both over two days. 🤣

Slow to review this one, but I really liked it. It‘s a fun, spicy, indulgent read that‘s still intelligent. LOVED how smart and capable Stella was, and the Pretty Woman vibe, and all the different characters. I highly recommend it.

I got bored after a bit. I skipped through a majority of it and still knew what was going on in the story. I skipped and still knew Michael's issues, his mom and dad's issues. It was an easy read.

I was supposed to be in Chicago by now, but thanks to some crazy weather, I‘m getting in some unplanned walking with a reread of this audiobook instead. 🤷🏼‍♀️ At least I don‘t need much to stay entertained. #bfcr2 #smallsteppers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not what I was expecting, but cute!

Funny. Sweet. Sexy. And cliche (a little bit) I really hate cliche stories but this book managed to capture my interest despite being cliche and predictable. Plus I‘d be lying if I said that this book isn‘t interesting at all, because it really is. It‘s a 4/5 for me

I‘m about to leave an unpopular review and I‘ll blame my DNF on the fact I listened to the audio version. I LOVED the premise, but the details of the “lessons” grew tiresome. I ran out of time listening to my library version and won‘t bother checking it out again in order to finish.

1. Yellow roses and lilies of any variety are my favorites
2. Tagged. I read a lot of good books in June this won because it was the first 😂
3. I just finished season 1 of Good Girls and it is sooo good. Much deeper than I expected, but still funny and full of heart.
4. Maya Angelou or Langston Hughes Phenomenal Woman and Hey Black Child are two of my favorite poems

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2: This was a great story and SUPER steamy! I think I‘m still blushing. Really enjoyed the relationship between Stella Lane (great name!) and Michael.

In this erotic romance, a successful woman with autism hires an escort to teach her how to be in a relationship. Hoang created the kind of story dream that's more decadent fairy tale than realistic, and I was addicted from chapter 2. If, like me, you find the first chapter a little shaky, push past it, and, like me, you'll be happy you did.

Cute story, but they should give you a warning that it‘s quite pornographic 😉☺️😳

Hey ladies here are some possibilities I'm considering for my #lmpbc book choice. Let me know if you have read or are opposed to any of the above. I think the Amy Tan book may have some assault/triggers and I believe Florida is short stories. Please give your honest feedback 😊 @shellleigh33 @Skeebies05 @ruskigurl16

I really need to pick some of these up soon. I forget about them a lot when I'm picking a new read because they live in a different room than most of my collection.

I LOVED this book! I especially loved that it features an autistic woman. My son has high functioning autism and I feel like I have tendencies, but have not been diagnosed. It‘s nice to see a representation like this, that is quite positive.

Already almost halfway through this one and it‘s a lot spicier than I expected. I love it!

I admit that I picked up this book because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about...Now I get it! I absolutely adored this story! 5 ⭐️

Saturday is off to a great start!📚

I'm really loving what Berkley is doing with romance right now! They're adorable, diverse, and oh my they are steamy! A bit more than I expected and wanted, but I was still totally invested in the characters.

If this wasn‘t the cutest damn story?!? Not to mention surprisingly lusty (😘😘)! And the characters were absolutely charming; you rooted for them and sympathized with them, and wanted them to win. Such a good read

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lot's of #frenchkissingintheusa in this book. 😚 Went obvious for this prompt 😀

This was fun! But ‘K‘ is a tough letter!

K is not the easier letter lol. I definitely had to check my bookshelves for this one.

Super steamy! I loved both the leads and their relationship. Helen Hoang has a real knack for love scenes, too - if you want to fog up your Kindle screen this is for you! There was one thing that bugged me, mild spoilers in comments.

Lots of heart but kinda cringey

A sweet, steamy love story!

I‘m not the biggest fan of contemporary romance novels but this was good, with a very unique heroine (and hero, for that matter). It was a perfect vacation read. I took this pic on the balcony of our room with this gorgeous view of Dubrovnik. I‘m really sad to be going home tomorrow! #romantsy

Well this was absolutely adorable! I‘m also excited to see its going to be at least a trilogy. I bought the second one today and can‘t wait to dive in! I‘ve also been in a huge reading slump, so I‘m happy to be able to get back into things.

It really is as good as everyone‘s been raving!! I absolutely loved it!! Equal parts sweet and steamy with such great characters and so much heart!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awww I loved this ❤
You can't help but love the two main characters. Stella is just fab and it was a very honest portrayal of someone with aspergers.
I just pictured Michael as some sort of perfect sex God 🤣
Not for the faint hearted though. Very steamy! 🔥

#mmdchallenge for a book outside of my (genre) comfort zone.

Even though I am liking my other book I decided to start this one too! Been hearing so many good things about that I do not want to wait anymore.

Finished this audiobook today. My friends suggested this to me and I really enjoyed it. If you‘re looking for your typical romance novel boy meets girl in unusual ways both fall for each other but think their issues are too big for the other to love . etc. this is the book for you. Quirky, dirty, fun.

Finished in under 24 hours. I could barely put it down to go to bed last night. I adored the main characters and loved the pace and heat of the plot. Highly recommend.

Just started this today and omg it‘s so cute and also just so good. This is the first time I‘ve been able to relate so much to a romance story too, yay autistic representation!

Embarrassing Story: I sent this bookstore bestseller to @BiblioLitten anticipating a girlie, contemporary read, to take her mind off her move.

OOPS! 🔥🙈🔥🙈🔥 (Sorry, Archana)

So... I subjected us both to a steamy hot romance novel (the first one I‘ve ever read)

✔️ Representation
✔️ Consent
✔️ Female-friendly sensuality
✔️ Rom-com level sweetness

✖️ Plausibility
✖️ Repetition

Not my genre of choice, but I‘ll give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was one of my favorite books of last year. The romance was just so cute, I couldn‘t put it down!
