When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better. That's where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she has just started to understand herself. However, when tragedy strikes Anna's family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.
Anfängerkurs in Sachen Liebe
. 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. Wie Michael Phan. Auch wenn der eine ganz eigene Vorstellung von ihrem Unterricht hat ...
Stella Lane cree que las matem?°ticas son lo ??nico que funciona en el universo. Utiliza algoritmos para predecir compras, un trabajo que le ha proporcionado m?°s dinero del que sabe gastar y menos experiencia en relaciones amorosas que la media de cualquier treinta?±era. No le ayuda tener Asperger y que besar le recuerde a un pez piloto limpiando los dientes de un tibur??n. Por eso contrata al despampanante gigol?? Michael Phan. Mitad sueco, mitad vietnamita, Michael no puede rechazar la oferta de Stella y accede a ayudarla y rellenar todas las casillas de su plan de lecciones amorosas, desde la seducci??n previa hasta m?°s all?° de la postura del misionero... Stella no solo aprende a apreciar los besos de Michael sino a anhelar el resto de sensaciones que le provoca. Pronto ese recuerdo sin sentido empieza a tenerlo y el patr??n que Stella descubre la convence de que el amor es la mejor clase de l??gica.

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.

Esme must convince Khai that there is more than one way to love. And Khai must figure out the inner workings of his heart before Esme goes home and is an ocean away.
