This started out really promising, then spent way too much of the novel trying my patience.

An upper middle class woman with autism deciding to hire a male sex worker so that she can get better at dating/sex/relationships, and then goes where you'd expect that to go in a romance novel. I felt like it did an okay job with the power differentials built into that set up, especially given she was white and he was Vietnamese, and I was enjoying the over the top all the tropes at once nonsense. Plus the wider cast of future protagonists family members was fun and had a great dynamic with the hero. However, it ended up leaning into some stuff that I really didn't like, and it kind of fell apart for me in the second half.

I didn't like how falling in love seemed to make her autism go away. Once the romance starts, she still gets overwhelmed by some situations, but a lot of stuff like doing stuff in a certain order, discomfort around kinds of touch and eye contact seem to magically stop being a problem with this one guy. The guy's also really pushy, doing stuff she says she doesn't want because he knows she'll like it once she gets into it (which she always does!). There's also a lot of jealousy kink, which I'm not into at all, and male posturing and possessiveness. The author was trying to set him up as gentle and considerate, but he came off as an alphahole.

Not my thing, in the end.
