Paris is Always A Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay | Review

Review: PARIS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA Paris is Always a Good Idea is a solid, compelling story about a woman who has buried her grief so far that she’s afraid to love – or to let her family love – again. I picked up Paris is Always a Good Idea because I love me a European trip, and I love an office romance.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang | 5-Star Review

Review: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Wow. WOW. The Kiss Quotient is easily my favorite romance of this year and it will definitely be on my best of 2018. For those of you who have heard the hype for this book, it’s ALL TRUE. This is a diverse, Asian-American, #ownvoices for autism, reverse-Pretty Woman romance. It’s all of that and so much more. Author Helen Hoang draws you into the world of Stella Lane, an econometrician (think statistics for marketing) who is devoted to her work, wealthy, extremely independent – but isn’t great with socializing or recognizing social cues.
