Series: Forbidden Men – Book 7
Author: Linda Kage
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

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?

4 Stars!
“If you love someone enough, you find you can forgive them for just
about anything, because living without them is more miserable than any
grudge you could hold.”
I have to admit that I was a little hesitant to
read, The Girls Got Secrets, since it's book #7 in the Forbidden Men
series. I have not read any of the prior books from this series, so I
was nervous that I wouldn't be able to connect with the story or the
characters. However, I'm excited to say that I enjoyed both! I really
liked Asher and Remy's story. It reminded me of a movie I watched
growing up that had the same type of storyline. Yes, like the blurb
said, a "girl posing as a boy" story is not anything new, but it didn't
make me enjoy it any less! There were quite a few things I liked about
it and there were so many parts that made me laugh. My favorite part was
when Remy was telling Asher what being in a "relationship" is like...
“At first, it’s nerve-wracking as hell. You’re always afraid to
show your true self. You just want them to see what you think they’ll
like, so you’re always on edge, hoping to impress him and trying to
figure out if you even like him in return. Even though it’s kind of
thrilling and exciting too. But then...then something finally clicks,
and you realize you have this...thing...this amazing thing in common
with each other that you don’t really have in common with anyone else.
Pretty soon, you’re opening up more of yourself and discovering that
more parts click, and before you know it, life is amazing and you’re
thinking about them night and day. You can’t wait to see them again, and
you love everything about everything.”
I really liked Asher! I felt so sad for
him. Knowing what he went through while growing up and that he had
never really been a part of a family broke my heart. But like most
stories, Asher and I both were left with a HEA!
I grew up on a dairy farm in the Midwest as the youngest of eight children. Now I live in Kansas with my husband, two daughters, and our nine cuckoo clocks. My life's been blessed with lots of people to learn from and love. Writing's always been a major part my world, and I'm so happy to finally share some of my stories with other romance lovers.
