The Kiss Quotient

 

This was a really cute story that kept me engaged in reading.  Stella thinks that she is bad at relationships and bad at all that involves because she is somewhere on the autistic spectrum.   So what's a girl to do?  She hires and escort to teach her how to do things correctly.   Enter Michael.  He's handsome, talented and in a lot of trouble with money because of some family problems.  Maybe they will both be the answer for all one another's problems.

So to be honest, the book is borderline porn.  But it reads well for what it is.  I enjoyed it and found it highly entertaining.  It certainly didn't hurt that Stella drives a Model S.  Sometimes you just need something fun and frivolous and this book completely fit the bill.  No, it won't win the Pulitzer but it was a fun way to spend a rainy day. 

Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarland

 

Georgina gets fired from the worst pub in town and just when she thinks her day can't get any worse, she finds her boyfriend in bed with his assistant.  I'm not giving anything away, that all happens in the first chapter.  I call days like that 'quicksand".  One thing after another just isn't going your way.

Georgina is in need of a new job, so her brother in law sets her up with a "on time deal" for a wake at a new pub opening in town.  She loves the job but there is just one problem.... the boy that got away in highschool is the boss's brother.  

I really enjoyed this story because it wasn't the obvious let's pick right back up where we left off story. In fact, Lucas, acts like he doesn't even remember Georgina from high school and she believes him ( which was the most incredible part of the story)This book really is more about Georgina finding her stride than it is about her finding a way to get together with Lucas.  It was cute... slow in some parts.  I gave it three out of  five stars.
