Anna is a violinist who has been struggling ever since she went viral on youtube. While trying to find a way to deal with the burn out she starts to see a new therapist. At the same time her long term boyfriend decides he wants to opent their relationship, without considering her feelings at all. This leads her to using dating apps to find someone to not only have a one night stand with, but to practice not masking her emotions with. This leads her to Quan, the cousin of Michael and brother of Khai from previous books. Quan is dealing with his own demons and agrees to a one night stand with Anna. But when that doesn't work the two get to know each other and hwat was supposed to be a one night fling starts to turn into something more.
Although this was an adorable story, and a perfect romance. I was dissapointed reading this as part of a series. In all the other Kiss Quotient books both charactes have equal time, and equally satisfying story-arcs. For a book that was promised to be about Quan he took a backseat to Anna. His story didn't have as satisfying of an ending and I didn't learn as much about him. This is just a personal dissapointment because if this wasn't something you had been waiting for like I was, you probably wouldn't care.
Overall this was a sweet romance with two equally interesting characters. I did find myself overly frustrated at Anna's family throughout the book to the point my mom needed to remind me "it's just a book". I would highly reocmmned this to anyone looking for a sweet (and a little raunchy) read.
