Linda Kage is a genius. The Forbidden Men series is pure greatness. When I first heard of this book I was a little worried because a girl pretending to be a man? Definitely going to be a horrible rip off of She's The Man. Oh...but I had faith in Linda Kage. I knew if anyone could pull it off it would be her. And pull it off she did! I loved it!
So why does a woman pretend to be a man you ask? Well it all starts when Remy goes to audition to be the new drummer in a popular local band called Non-Castro. Sounds female friendly right? Ha. No. They wouldn't even let her play. Hell, they barely let her speak. So she decided to try out as a man, rip off her mask, and be all HA IN YOUR FACE!!! The only problem is, she makes the band. So, she doesn't tell them she's a girl. At the first practice Gally, the bass player, see's her checking out Ashers (the lead singers) chest, and now everyone thinks Remy is not only a guy, but also gay. A gay guy instead of a girl. How nice huh? As a female I can assure you that even though in my opinion there is nothing wrong with being gay, I would not like to be mistaken for a gay man.
So that is just the basics of how this book gets started and I can honestly say I really enjoyed this book. It was funny as hell, sexy, the characters were awesome, Remy was sassy, and the book was super sweet and it was really engaging. So much so that I didn't even pay attention to Greys Anatomy...and I always pay attention to Greys. Always. George O'Malley apparently died while I was reading.
4.5 Stars.
I would really recommend this book to Lyla Payne fans. If you like a good laugh, this is a good read. Next review Sweet Ruin by Kresley Cole! Something to look forward to. I'm super excited to read it myself.
An advanced readers copy was provided to me by the publishers in exchange for a honest review. This has in no was effected my rating on this book or the overall review.
