Review:

This is always one of my favorites. I love how happy the characters make me feel and how much they love each other. I also just watched Pretty Woman and realized that this book is pretty similar to that. Obviously, there are some differences, but the basic concept is the same. I, of course, love both pretty women and this book! I think part of it is the feeling of being taken care of. The way Stella thinks about Micheal all the time and the way Michael thinks right back. So cute and fun!

Trigger Warnings:
unwanted touching and forced kissing, lowkey sexual harassment, anxiety attacks, abandonment, a loved one with a chronic illness, a fatphobic comment/insult

Synopsis From Book:

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, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn't 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. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't 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 the other things he's making her feel. Soon, 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...
