Here’s the same old “girl posing as a boy” story but with a rock-n-roll twist.
Remy Curran dreams of one day being in a band, except the group she wants to join refuses to hire a girl drummer. So, she auditions as a guy...and makes the cut.
Becoming “Sticks,” a member of Non-Castrato, isn’t quite what she dreamed it would be, though. She spends most of her time keeping up the subterfuge and learning how to walk, talk, act, and drink like a man.
But what’s even harder to deal with is acting oblivious when the band’s heartthrob lead singer, Asher Hart, treats her like one of the guys and not a woman. She never imagined he’d be so much more than a pretty face with a nice voice. But he’s better than perfect. He’s perfect for her.
When love and lies combine, Remy must keep up the act or lose everything. But who knew lying to reach one dream could prevent you from attaining an even bigger dream?

This is the seventh book in the series Forbidden Men and it has taken my heart just like all others. Linda Kage has become one of my favourite authors because her ideas are so original and all the characters have developed such strong characteristics that you think they are real people and you want to meet them some day.
This story was about ( wait for it…) well known Asher Hart who we have all fallen in love with in the previous books. ( Atleast I have ). The close friend of Zoey and the confidante of Caroline he loves to anger Ten. Everyone loves to anger Ten though.
We are introduced to a new character Remy Curran who wants to be in a band really bad. However Asher Hart’s band Non-Castrato does not accept a girl so, she auditions as a guy and gets in.
Acting as a guy became harder than she thought. Especially because she started have feelings for Asher. Suddenly the only person who she was worried about hurting was the one person who would be hurt the most.
I loved Asher and Remy’s relationship. It showed that sometimes love does not develop just because of the sex. Couples who really love each other, love each other because of the comfort they get around each other. “Sticks” and Asher had that comfort though all Asher thought was that “Sticks” was a really good friend.
Linda Kage was so good at making Remy into two personalities that even I started believing it and I knew the truth!
I liked all the side stories as well. The relationship developing between Brandt and Sarah was adorable and I have a feeling that is going to be the next story. How cool is that? Mason’s sister and Noel’s brother.
Also the growing relationship between half brothers. Pick and Asher. Asher was finally finding out that he deserved love after a rough childhood being with his half brother and all the bartenders who had become his close friends. Those guys at the Forbidden bar are like family, and the respective others that come along with them are really hard not to love. Especially if you have read about all their stories and how hard it was for all of them to get where they are now.
There were some hot sex scenes. Some use of handcuffs. People who have read the book, know what I am talking about. The ending was adorable.
Anyways Linda Kage delivers again and this series is recommended to everyone who is reading this review who likes new adult and who is looking for something like this.
I will be reading more books by Linda Kage in the future. That is for sure.
