What I Liked:
It was easy to root for Khai as he struggled through challenges related to his autism and for Esme trying to find a path to a better life in a new country even though I wasn’t able to personally related to their struggles. I finished the story pretty quickly because I got pulled in and wanted to see how things would turn out.
What Bothered Me:
There were a few things that felt a little unresolved such as Esme’s misconceptions of Khai’s career and Khai’s relatively easy accpetance of Esme’s reveal at the end.
Overall:
I actually enjoyed The Bride Test a little more than The Kiss Quotient. While they are part of the same series and have crossover characters, I don’t think you’ll lose out by starting with second book when you’re in the mood for a multicultural romance featuring an arranged relationship with an FMC trying to move to America for a better life.
