Author Helen Hoang has released her next romance novel The Kiss Quotient, being described as “an unexpectedly sweet erotic romance” by New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh.

In The Kiss Quotient Stella Lane thinks mathematics 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 and far less experience in the dating department than the average 33 year old. It does not help that Stella has Asperger’s and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice?with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Gorgeous and conflicted, Michael can not afford to turn down Stella’s offer and 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 to crave all of the other things he is making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic.

Author Helen Hoang read her first romance novel in Year 8 and has been addicted ever since. In 2016, she was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in line with what was previously known as Asperger’s Syndrome – her journey inspired The Kiss Quotient. She currently lives in San Diego, California with her husband, two kids, and pet fish.
