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.

Story
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - 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.

Story
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs. Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down.

Story
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.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before her daughter was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely. But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever.

Story
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

funny, heartwarming, steamy
This is my first book by this author and first time by this narrator and they both did an excellent job. I appreciated the highlights of the struggles each of them have gone through in their lives, the cross-cultural differences of being born in one country and immigrating to another. I loved that the main character had autism, but I wish there'd maybe been a little bit more education or discussion on it in the book. I know that it's not the same for everyone. looking forward to reading more from this author.

Never thought I'd enjoy a romance so much!
it was an absolute delight to listen to, start to finish. I am autistic, and it was so refreshing to hear from an autistic voice in literature. even if you don't identify as neurodivergent, I think you could still enjoy this.

You won't regret it!!
After reading The Kiss Quotient, I became an official fan of Helen Hoang. I wasn't willing to read The Bride Test at the very beginning as the summary didn't appeal to me and I loved the Kiss Quotient so much that I really didn't think The Bride Test could top it. Then, a few days ago, during my morning meditation, the title of this book suddenly jumped into my mind and I thought to myself maybe it's time for me to read it. I really enjoyed it a lot and I burst into laughter when I was reading about Kai's sex education!!! I would not say The Bride Test tops The Kiss Quotient but I would say they are equally good and you won't regret it!!! Can't wait to listen to the Heart Principle which is the story of Quang.

Didn’t realize this would be an adult book, so this is your official warning. Kai just sexualizes her a lot, And there’s a couple times and they sleep together. But it was good apart from that. I wasn’t blow away with the writing either, but the story kept me interested so I can’t complain too much.

Another fantastic book!!!
Helen Hoang has a way of making you connect with these characters and being so sucked in that you feel every emotion with them along the way!! I loved how this book had characters from The Kiss Quotient. The narrator was new to me, I thought she was so good and very believable. I totally recommend this book. ❤️
