Acerca de esta escucha
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.

Historia
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.

Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallory’s focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious “Kingkiller” Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess.

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....

Sylvie Campos and Lauren Machado have hated each other since before they were born. For generations, the Campos and Machado families have blamed each other for stealing pastry recipes they claim their great-grandfathers originated before fleeing Castro's Cuba. Having spent their lives as rivals, Lauren and Sylvie are now in their early thirties and primed to take over their respective family bakeries. That means working long, hot, seasons of outdoor food festivals where they are forced to endure each other—albeit with a lot of bantering and barb-trading.

Historia
Samantha Owens' estranged stepfather has died, leaving her his cottage in Nantucket - a place she fled years ago, never planning to return. As a single mom, Samantha can't afford to pass up a financial windfall like oceanfront property. So she travels home to fix up the house and sell it...never suspecting that Landon Reed still lives two doors down. As their long-dormant romance begins to bud again, Samantha must face a past that separated her from the God of her childhood. And she must tell Landon why she fled the island in the first place - a secret that could tear them apart.

Ruthless might as well be Gray Bennett’s middle name. When the renowned Washington, D.C. insider talks, powerful people listen. But Gray hasn’t come home to Saranac Lake to play politics. Or play at all. A tragedy has shaken the unshakable Gray Bennett to his hardened core. And so has the most unlikely of women. The mousy redhead who used to run around the Moorehouse B and B - the one he never noticed - is now all fiery hair and lush curves. But sweet Joy Moorehouse is too innocent for a cynic like him.

Literary editor Antonia Harper had it all - the career, the man, the future. That was then. Now Antonia is jobless, alone, and at a crossroads. What better time to travel the world? A solo honeymoon on the Emerald Isle will be like hitting the reset button. No distractions, no drama. Aiden Byrnes may be a literature professor, but words fail him when he meets the woman staying in the cottage next door. Tully Cross is meant to be a sleepy little village, and he's meant to be on a working holiday - not a vacation, and most definitely not with his beautiful neighbor.

The NHL’s been at my door since I was 18, but I’d never leave the Swedish Hockey League—not while raising my little brother. But now he’s grown, and the Carolina Reapers show up with my greatest weakness: Langley Pierce, their new head of PR. I’ve never been able to say no to her. She’s fierce, independent, and the sexiest woman I’ve ever met. She also has a stubborn streak wider than my entire country. One comment from her smart mouth about never dating again, and I propose. No, really, I actually propose.

Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

Bullets fly during a dangerous mission, and Major Mark Lopez is critically injured. A Blackstone soldier, Mark is transferred to the North Dakota hospital, where he meets a pretty nurse, Mia. After Mark recovers from surgery, he is discharged from the hospital with orders to rest; not that he does. But when he returns to the hospital again and again with minor - and not-so-minor - injuries, Mia suspects he’s only coming to see her. When someone from Mark’s past comes to him for help, more blood is shed, and Mark must put his life on the line to keep Mia safe.

Küssen sollte einfach sein. Jeder tut es. Es ist nicht viel dabei. Aber Stella kommt sich jedes Mal vor wie ein Hai, dem gerade ein paar Pilotfischchen die Zähne reinigen. Und das ist nicht schön, weder für sie noch für den Mann. Sie hat die Sache mit der Liebe schon beinahe aufgegeben - als Asperger-Autistin mag sie ohnehin nichts, was ihre Routine stört -, doch dann bringt ein dahingesagter Satz sie ins Grübeln: Übung macht den Meister. Stimmt das? Braucht sie einfach mehr Erfahrung? Und wenn ja, wer bringt einem das Küssen bei - und mehr? Vermutlich ein Profi, ein Escort.

Intent on pursuing her other passion, she pours herself into a guest professorship at USC, hoping to transition to academia fulltime. Standing in her way is her co-professor, Maeve Arko, whose brilliance and beauty is matched only by her contempt for Val. As Val rises to the challenges that teaching throws at her, though, Maeve starts to soften, and soon sparks are flying.

All Heart
Having now read both this and The Kiss Quotient, I can officially say I am a devoted fan of Helen Hoang. Her stories are not just amazing for their diversity and inclusivity, but because the actual stories are truly good. As the parent of a child on the spectrum, it is heartening to read stories that feature characters with Autism -- better still, to read these characters in stories where Autism is not the subject, but is merely a character trait, as this helps minimize othering by underscoring the reality that people with Autism are just people. As a lover of romance, I thoroughly enjoyed falling in love with, and through, Kai and Esme! Kai and Esme are both wonderful characters -- fully drawn and multifaceted -- and the side characters are also well-written (I fell instantly in love with Kai's mom!). Finally, the narration was top-notch! Emily Woo Zeller delivered an impeccable performance; whenever I recall this story, I will automatically hear her voice in my head.

One of the best books I've read
I loved The Kiss Quotient so much and since then I've been impatiently waiting for The Bride Test, and I was not disappointed. This is your next 5⭐ read/listen. Love both Khai and Esme. Love Helen Hoang writing style, it's refreshingly and uniquely different. This was a beautifully written and beautifully narrated book. I look forward to her next book. Worth the credit and your time.

Adorable and Steamy Vietnamese American Romance
This is an adorable, and often steamy, Vietnamese American romance by Helen Hoang. I read Hoang's first book, "The Kiss Quotient", in December 2018, knew immediately afterwards that I would read her next book, and "The Bride Test" does not disappoint. I think I might even like "The Bride Test" MORE than "The Kiss Quotient" now!
While this is the second book in the series, and there are 4 overlapping characters, you by no means need to read "The Kiss Quotient" in order to enjoy "The Bride Test". If you look for these books in the library or bookstore and "The Kiss Quotient" is out of stock, you can absolutely pick up "The Bride Test" first no problem. Hoang is slated to come out with a third book, "The Heart Principle", which is already on my radar and set to be released in 2021.
In "The Bride Test", Kai is an attractive and intelligent man who is accustomed to his lonesome routine and convinced he is incapable of love because he's autistic. Mei is a young single mom who is kind and hardworking but convinced she is stupid and undeserving of love because she was too poor to finish high school and cannot speak English well. Kai's mom is fed up with him being too old to be single, and so offers to employ Mei at her restaurant for the summer in southern California. The arrangement is that after a summer of living together and Mei being Kai's date to their 3 family weddings that season, if they don't want to get married themselves, then they don't have to and Mei returns to Vietnam where her mother and grandmother are caring for her daughter Jade while she is away.
Since Kai and Mei are living together in the same house before actually dating, there are some sweet and hilarious moments of them getting used to their new routine, spending time together, and growing attracted to one another. I really like how Mei's desire for an education folds into the narrative and that she has multiple options for herself moving forward. While the marriage-for-a-green card stereotype is there, it is handled well and the situation evolves so that both parties have agency by the end in order to truly fall in love. Kai's mom is an unbelievable character, but I LOVE all the moments between Kai and his brother Kwan. He's great!
I am giving this 5 stars because I enjoyed it so much; almost couldn't stop listening to my audiobook! Nevertheless, this book is not perfect. I wish I knew more about Mei's upbringing and what it is like for her living in Vietnam. Stella's autism is much more central to the plot of "The Kiss Quotient", so I wish Kai's autism had been more important in "The Bride Test". He's almost so high-functioning that it isn't that much of a barrier at all. If Kai or Kwan had just explained earlier what autism is to Mei, then Kai and Mei could have had a much more understanding relationship earlier on.
In addition, it is hard to believe Mei is a mom at times because she hardly ever calls or thinks about her kid. It's as if Jade is just there to make Mei a more vulnerable and sympathetic character. I forgot multiple times that the grandmother even existed because she is so inconsequential to the story. I wish Mei had mentioned using her lunch break to call home once or twice a week or something, and that would have fixed much of this issue.
Overall, this is an excellent read with memorable main characters and some really well written scenes. Hoang does a fantastic job of building tension and writing Kai and Mei's moment-by-moment feelings and motivations from their perspectives. This would make a great movie! I would watch it opening weekend. Especially that hair cutting scene and motorcycle riding scene--UGH! So good :D

I liked it better than the first book!
Another perspective from an autistic character showed me that each person's experience is different. I preferred it better than the first book- The Kiss Quotient. I think this is more romantic. I liked that the heroine at the end learned to value herself and do things for her own dreams rather than for her family alone. She's a mother and I did see how she courageously made decisions for the sake of her daughter. All she did was impossible to happen in real life unless you factor a mother's love. A mother's love can do anything. I honestly thought this will be Kai's story but not really. It was Esme's.

Can’t get enough of Helen’s Books!
Okay, I think I’m hooked on Helen Hoang’s Books now that I’ve read this one and “The Kiss Quotient”. Both books are so good, crazy romantic and real. I love how she incorporated real life experiences into these beautiful stories and shed light on autism. It’s often looked at as a disability and that’s it, but autistic people love and feel in their own unique way just like everyone else. The character development is so beautiful between the hero and the heroin in this story, and it grabs you in from the start. Can’t wait to see more books from this author!
The narrator took some time getting used to due to her tone, but once I did, it wasn’t so bad.
