I loved it so much I want to hand it out to strangers on the street. I was mesmerised by this book, which manages to be steamy hot and sweet at the same time.

Left me with a huge smile on my face. I dare you not to fall in love with these two characters and their story. Helen Hoang's debut is quite simply delightful!

The Kiss Quotient had me under a spell. I was excited, in love, and couldn't wait to get back to this book every time life forced me to put it down. A rare and riveting love story.
Penelope Douglas, author of Bully.
An absolute delight - charming, sexy, and centered on a protagonist you love rooting for... Equal parts endearing and (very) steamy.
