Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in...well, everything. Her identical twin sister, Amy, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag), and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

Kristen Petersen doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen - especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family.

Ronan Knight and his old-school sports bar next door opening on the very same day.

If Darcy Barrett hadn’t met her dream man when she was eight years old, the rest of the male population wouldn’t be such a let-down. No one measures up to Tom Valeska, aka the best man on Earth, not in looks, brain, or heart. Even worse is the knowledge that her twin brother Jamie saw him first, and claimed him forever as his best friend. Tom’s off limits and loyal to her brother, 99 percent. One percent of Tom has had to be enough for Darcy, and her adoration has been sustained by his shy kindness. And if she’s honest, his tight t-shirts.

Kailyn Flowers was always calm, rational, and controlled - until she ended up sprawled all over Daxton Hughes, the former actor she totally crushed on as a teenager. Then she did the unthinkable: She became a mortifying fangirl in five seconds flat, which may or may not have included professing her undying love. And oddly, he didn't run away. In fact, their meet-cute led to a friendship she never saw coming. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming, either.... Now, Dax needs her help. As guardian to his 13-year-old sister, he's in way over his head.

Publisher's Summary
Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny‚ but not important emotions, like love. His family knows better - that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.
As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.
Winner for Best of 2019 in Audible Escape
Another winning charmer from Helen Hoang
"Helen Hoang blew us out of the water with her debut, The Kiss Quotient, so there were high expectations for this one, and she, along with narrator Emily Woo Zeller, did not disappoint. In this standalone sequel, Khai Diep (who we first met as a side character in Kiss), believes that romance not only isn't in the cards for him, but that it's just not possible due to his autism. His mother, undeterred, heads to her native Vietnam to find him the perfect girl, certain that Khai wouldn't turn away someone who's traveled so far. Esme Tran can't pass up the opportunity to start a new life in America, but her seduction plans for Khai are thrown off course by her complicated beau and her very real feelings for him. If you love an arranged marriage story, you're going to adore this nuanced and cleverly funny take on that trope."—The Audible Romance Editors

Cute
It was a very cute romantic story. A little far fetched sometimes, but never the less very entertaining. Not as good as the kiss quotient. The narrator is amazing, I heard other books by her and she truly brings the characters to life, she is amazing at changing her voice!

Helen Hoang will always be an automatic purchase for me after this book. I loved her first book The Kiss Quotant but I am going to say this book, The Bride Test, may be better. Emily Woo Zeller did an awesome job narrating, I will be checking out her backlist. Definitely worth a credit!

NOT The Kiss Quotient, but still pretty good.
I loved the kiss quotient. This is not that or as good. BUT it is still a decent read. I really like Helen Hoang's writing style and I will definitely be reading whatever she comes out with next.

Great 2nd book
This was a good follow up to book one. While I didn't love Khai's story as much as Michael's (since it felt mostly the same), it was still a great story. The narration was good and kept me wanting to listen

Book heaven
I loved Kiss Quotient and there was a shadow of doubt in me that this book will not be as good. But it was lovely. Fighting for love, fighting with insecurities and demons. But still polite and kind to others. Importance of the family despite how annoying our family members may be. Bravo. Another great book!

Beautifully Done
This is the best story I’ve listened to in a while. While only being partially familiar with autism and Vietnamese culture, this story sucked me right in. Best character development I’ve across in quite some time. This author really strummed my heartstrings. I’d love to see more from her.

The Emily Woo Zeller is a master narrator who brought the story to life flawlessly regardless of the sex , age or nationality of the characters. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🥰

A lovely read to restore your faith in love!
Helen Hoang is quickly becoming one of my favourite romance authors. Her next book will be an auto-buy for me. Hell, all her books from now on! Great representation and the cutest characters you ever did see. Highly recommend! 👌🏾

Loved it!
After reading "The Kiss Quotient ", I've been eagerly awaiting the next book... I was hooked from the very first chapter. Loved the writing, the narration... most definitely worth a credit!

I loved this book with all my heart
After reading the Kiss Quotient, I didn't think I would be able to like this book as much as I did. i was rooting for Kai and Esmee so hard! I really wanted to be happy and cheered for them every step of the way..

I couldn’t put this down!!
I loved this book! I didn’t want it to end! I think it’s the quickest I’ve finished an audiobook. Fantastic story!! The narrator tells it so well. I’m going to listen to other books by this Narrator now! And other books by this author because it was an amazing Rom Com! Overall I would give this 10 starts and I hope it will become a movie one day!! Also loved that Esme is a Eurasian because I am too and I haven’t read a book where I can relate like this!!

Enjoyable listen
This was a good book, though not as strong as the first book in the series. There were some aspects that frustrated me, but way more that I loved, so it balanced out as 4 stars.

Great narrator and amazing storyline
I absolutely adored listening to this book. Great narrator and amazing storyline. It really enthralled me. Esme and Khai were made for each other!! And the brief mention of Michael and Stella was beautiful. Next it's Quan's turn!!! Helen Hoang is an amazing author. I felt so many emotions and the book kept me interested right till the end.

Fabulous!
I love Helen Hoang's writing! It's just like dessert: fun, sweet and easy to swallow :-D Now I absolutely HAVE to go back and re-read the Kiss Quotient! Two completely independent stories that stand wonderfully on their own beautifully intersecting with each other - so fabulous! I can't wait for the release of her next book.

Enjoyable but . . .
Esme, a young single Mum, is plucked from her native Vietnam cleaning hotel toilets to be a mail order bride in California for Khai . She has one short summer to successfully win her reluctant intended beau and find her long lost American father if she can. A tall order on top of learning English, holding down a job in her (maybe) mother-in-laws restaurant and discovering the deep secret in Khai’s past that he believes has taught him he is incapable of love all the while keeping her own secret, that of the existence of her young daughter. The story is told alternately from Esme and Khai’s point of view which helps to build the tension as the reader gains insights into the various misunderstandings that arise as both characters pursue their divergent goals. Khai also has the added filter of autism (very very mild) to his perspectives. The novel is engaging and evokes laughter and empathy for the two main protagonists' various calamities and is a quick easy read, something we all enjoy once in a while though it would probably appeal more to a young female market as it is at times little more than a Mills and Boon with a spot of soft porn thrown in, otherwise excluding it from the Young Adult Fiction category I would guess. Enjoyable none the less and recommended if you have the time but not one I would choose if it had not been selected for our book club. While not at first, I did love the readers whispered delivery in the end.

LOL
I can't stop laughing while listening to the book. There was a balance of happy and sad events of the story. I enjoyed it since this is a different type of love story, the fact that Khai has autism and he is capable of falling in love also Esme who is a single mom found the love of her life. Somehow this story gives hope to all people who doesn't believe that true love exist. I am now a a fan Helen Hoang.
