Secrets!!!!! The Girl's Got Secrets .. and what a secret it is!!! In this seventh installment of The Forbidden Men Series, Ms. Kage has written one sweet, fun, and fresh story of a girl posing as a boy with a rock-n-roll twist. If you have been following the Forbidden Series, then you would understand my excitement for Asher Hart's story and let me just say Ms. Kage had me smitten with the lead singer of Non-Castrato.
Ever since Be My Hero, I couldn't wait for Asher Hart's story and his Incubus shirt girl. And in The Girl's Got Secrets, Asher may have found his Incubus shirt girl and not realize it just yet. When Remy Curran wanted to try out to be the new drummer of Non-Castrato, she was crushed and disappointed that they didn't even let her try out just because she was a girl. So with the help of her roommate, Jodi, she decided the joke was on them when she asked Jodi to help transform her to be a boy. With a little, Mrs. Doubtfire transformation, Remy became "Sticks." And when Sticks went to audition for the drummer spot, "he" blew them away with "his" talent. What started off as a way for Remy to rip off her mask off and show them that a girl can play drums ended up her continuing on with the lie of her true identity. As Sticks became the new member of the group, Remy tries hard to keep up with the facade but it proves to be a lot more difficult when she finds herself falling for Asher Hart. As Sticks gets close to Asher, feelings begins to emerge and what happens when she discovers that Asher has been longing for the Incubus shirt girl which happens to be her. How will Asher react when he discovers the truth? Can he forgive Remy/Sticks for months of lying?
The Girl's Got Secret was a fun, fresh, and sweet read. While this book was on the very long side, I never felt the book dragged on since Ms. Kage was still able to keep the story exciting and engaging. I loved the friendship that Asher and Sticks had and it may have been my favorite thing in the book. As a big Pick fan, I was so excited and happy to see snippets of him incorporated into the story line. I love how everything unfolded but my only concern in the book was a certain scene that involved Asher's father in the end. But other than that, I still enjoyed this book. Thank you Ms. Kage for another great addition to this series.
