Let your hair down, Caroline, they said. It'll
be fun, they said.
I know I've closed myself off in a major way in
the past year, ever since “the incident” where I messed up my life completely.
It's past time I try to live again or just give up completely. But this is
quite possibly the craziest thing I've ever done. In a last ditch effort to
invigorate myself, I'm standing outside Oren Tenning's bedroom, I just peeled
off the sexiest pair of underwear I own, and my hand is already raised to
knock. My brother would disown me for doing anything with his best friend, and
he'd probably kill Oren. But if I play my cards right, no one will ever know
about this. Not even Ten.
Maybe after tonight, I’ll finally get over this
stupid, irrational crush I hate having on the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. Or
maybe I’ll just end up falling for him even harder. Maybe I’ll discover there’s
so much more to my crude, carefree hunk than meets the eye.

5 Star Review by Jen Skewes
The Forbidden Men Series by Linda Kage is by far one of my
favorite series. When I first read Price
of a Kiss I was in love, with the characters, the writing and the
storyline. From that moment Linda Kage
became one of my “go to” authors. I have
loved each book in this series and I think they just keep getting better. Yes I have always been a Mason Lowe girl but
then Pick came along and now Ten. You
can see where I am going with this right?
Oren Tenning I was not so sure about you but after reading A Perfect Ten
I just adore you.
Ten is…how can I even describe him? He is
a bit crude, says what he wants and does not care what anyone thinks. He is a bit of a man whore and basically what
you see is what you get. I honestly was
not sure how I would feel about him in this book. Given his history with women I was a little
nervous, to say the least. But Oren
Tenning completely surprised me. The boy
has a heart. He also has a past that has
led him to be the man whore that he is.
We learn a lot more about what happened and why he has never loved a
woman or let anyone in. But meeting
Caroline Gamble changed all that for him, because she made him feel. The only problem is that she is his best
friend’s sister. Ten has a reputation of
being an ass but there is one thing that you can count on when it comes to him
and that is loyalty. As much as he wants
Caroline, he made a promise. His best
friend Noel asked one thing of him and that was to stay away from his
sister. And Ten had every intention of
keeping that promise.
Caroline had a tough childhood and past. About a year ago her brother Noel stepped in
and vowed to take care of her and their two younger brothers. When her brother first rescued her she met
his best friend Oren. From the moment
she met him she wanted him. And yes she
wanted him in a physical way but over the past year it has become so much more
than that. She is in love with Oren
Tenning and she intends on doing something about it. No matter what her brother says and how much
Ten will deny her she will get her man.
And let me say that I loved the way these two got together. But
the biggest obstacle that they have to face is Noel Gamble. Without Noel’s blessing they risk losing him
in their life. In order to find love it
my means risking a friendship with his best friend. Is love worth the risk of losing someone
close to you?
Caroline and Oren could not be any more perfect for each
other. As mentioned earlier I wasn’t sure
if I would like Ten or not just given what we saw of him in the previous
books. But I loved him. He was loyal to those that he loved but what
I absolutely loved was that he was still himself. He was still crude and may
have said stupid things, or made some mistakes but he was always true to
himself. But everything about Ten that
everyone else may have had issues with, is the exact reason why Caroline loved
him, and the exact reason why I loved him as well. That boy was sexy, adorable and funny all wrapped
up in one. I loved how much he loved and
wanted to protect Caroline. I loved
watching this former man whore fall in love.
What made this story even better was the connection between
Caroline and Ten. There is no woman
better for Ten than Caroline Gamble. She
knew how to handle him and in many ways was just like him. These two were meant
to be together. I loved how much she loved
and adored her family, and I Ioved her friendship with Quinn.
This is definitely one of my favorites in this series. As always Linda Kage managed to make me feel
all of the feels. I laughed with these
characters, I cried and my stomach was in knots at some moments. There is that moment where you just know that
the shit is going to hit the fan. And
when it does I became so emotional. Ten
and Caroline had some obstacles that they needed to overcome. Between Noel and Ten’s past, there were
struggles. At times my heart just broke
for them and there were moments where I just hoped that everything would work
out between these two. You will fall in
love with Ten. We see the side that
everyone gets but we also see the side that is loving, caring and protective. I loved every minute of it and him. And yes people I am claiming Oren “Ten”
Tenning as mine!!
Linda Kage is an amazing writer who knows how to grab you
with her stories right from the start.
I love the characters that she creates and the stories that she
tells. I want to be friends with them
all. Heck I feel like I already am,
going through all of the important moments with them. Laughing with them, crying with them and just
feeling it all with them. I love every
one of her Forbidden Men and cannot wait to see whose story is next!!

EXCERPT
The entire notion
was crazy. I would never in a million years actually go through such a thing.
An hour later,
thousands of voices in my head shrieked. “For the love of God, Caroline.
What’re you doing?”
“Shh,” I hissed at
the annoying shits. “I’m doing this.”
I slipped inside
the front door to Quinn, Oren, and Zoey’s apartment. If anyone caught me, I
already had an excuse handy. I was here to see Zoey. To talk important girl
stuff. Yeah. That sounded good. And I really would talk to her if I was
caught...about the fact that I’d lost my ever-loving mind!
Pausing at the
beginning of the hall, I took a moment to bolster my nerve. Oren’s bedroom was
the first door on the right. Only ten feet away. Drawing in a deep breath, I
started to step forward when an idea hit me. Scrambling, I reached under my
skirt for the panties I’d raced home to change into, and I peeled them down my
legs.
I know, I know.
They were the nicest underwear I owned. Why was I taking them off before he
could even see the goods? Well, probably because, if we stayed in the dark like
we were supposed to, he’d never see them anyway. And tonight, I just wanted to
be bold and promiscuous. If I was really going to do this, I was going to do it
right.
Pantyless, I
stopped in front of his door and lifted my palm, but instead of knocking, I set
my fingers against the wood. He was on the other side of this door, waiting for
me.
Okay, fine, waiting
for some other girl. But if I knocked and went inside, it’d be me he took.
A thrill raced up
my spine, and butterflies danced in my stomach.
I knocked
