I read The Kiss Quotient and loved it. What struck me most about it was how Stella figures out in the end that she doesn't need to change herself and conform to societal norms in order to find love, but rather that she is worthy of love just as she is. That's a powerful message for all of us.

Thank you. Best wishes to you too!
That's how I've come to look at the process as well. I've known my whole life I was different but I never could put it into words when people asked. Now I can. The dyslexia, dyspraxia and other dis words all tie into it. I am free to be me and when I have sensory overload I now know what it is and how to treat it making it easier to get through them. I am working on my social cues and when hubby is in the right frame of mind we can communicate better he no longer expects me to read his mind.
I also loved how Stella came to accept herself in the end. You know the author found out she was autistic while writing this book. It's such an amazing story. The only other series I read with a heroine like her was The China Mack series by Tiffany Snow. It's more romantic suspense and there is a love triangle which is the author's thing. I just love how diversifed romance is becoming as more publishers accept it as the norm.
