Why is Stella attracted to Winston in the novel, How Stella Got Her Groove Back?

Winston is tall, attentive, shy and inclined to blush. Unlike the men she is used to, he is unconcerned about "where I live or what kind of house I live in or how much money I make or what kind of car I drive." He speaks in a husky, smooth, lightly accented voice that "sounds like it's coming from an honest place inside him."
