Book: The Girl’s Got Secrets
Author: Linda Kage
Release Date: November 28, 2015
Rating: 3.5 (I was offered an ARC in exchange for my honest
opinon)
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?
The Review
I am been a fan of Linda Kage for quite some time now.
Definitely one of my go tos when I am looking for a book to read. The Girl’s
Got Secrets is the first book I have read in the Forbidden Men series and I did
enjoy it. Remy and Asher had some awesome chemistry! I enjoyed the friendship
between them when she was using her male alter ego Sticks. It was an easy
friendship and even though Asher thought Sticks was gay, he still made an effort
to be nice to him and considered him a friend. There were some things I found
annoying with the storyline. I am not a fan of instalove and that is rampant in
this book. Also, the side plot with Asher’s dad could have been left out all together.
It wasn’t that interesting. Another thing I didn’t like was the fact that Linda
Kage really tried to write a diverse character but for me it didn’t flow. The Spanish
seemed a bit over the top. I would have liked to have read more about Remy’s
family and how that dynamic worked but all we got were more details on Asher’s family and
friends. Overall, I give the book 3.5 stars! It’s being released today so if
you are interested in checking it out, The links to purchase it will be below!
