The Kiss Quotient By Helen Hoang Cover Image

The Kiss Quotient (Paperback)

By Helen Hoang
$16.00

OH. MY. GOSH. What a great romance!!

This is a superb romance from start to finish, with two engaging protagonists, amazing representation, and a totally swoony romance. It’s a great balance of overcoming life’s difficulties and finding love! Also, it has just the right amount of steaminess: A LOT.

Definitely on the top of my romance recommendation list!
