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 … 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 Girls Got Secret
Asher & Remy
With the concept of the book and how the h was portrayed, the story seemed promising. The first half of the book really hooked me in and I love seeing Asher’s relationship with Pick. However due to the slow pacing of the story and how Asher found out about the truth, truly disappointed me. It was like a deja vu on how Felicity found out about what happened with Knox (Worth It). Another thing I didn’t like was the whole plot with Asher’s dad. (view spoiler)
There are a lot of things in the story that bugged me as some are unrealistic. Still all in all I enjoyed the story. The Forbidden Men series is addictive.
The Girl’s Got Secrets, the 4th book in the Forbidden Men Series was a very cute and funny book. I laughed so much while reading this. I had lots of She the Man and Mrs Doubtfire flashbacks while reading this book. Both Remy and Asher were very likable and they made a cute couple. The only problem I had with this book was I felt Remy was a dude for too long. She was playing Sticks for almost the whole book and that left little time for any strong romance. Even though it was lighter on the romance side due to the fact the hero thought the heroine was a dude for almost the whole thing they still had a strong connection through the friendship they started. I loved every moment with Pick he was just great in this book. I also really love how each book has past couples in them so I don’t have to miss them. Overall a cute read.
It’s Asher’s story, you guys. Our beloved rock star. The waiting is finally over—well at least for me, not you. Kekeke. I can read the book sooner than all of you. Kekekeke. And I’m so pumped up I finished this book approximately in 6 hours, the 100% at 2AM. Yep. That’s just how much I love Kage’s books; I’d stay up all night just to finish it.
The Girl’s Got Secrets, with its different twists, really bring this classic plot to a whole new level. We all know how engaging Kage’s writing is, especially when you’ve read her books before. In this book, there’s nothing different but you certainly can feel that her style of writing is getting more and more mature. The plot and the storyline’s more sharp and that her characters seems growing more complicated along with the series.
There are times when I read a book with Hero’s POV or dual POVs that I can’t connect with the Hero. The heroine? Sure, because we both women and women, in a way, have a lot of common denominator. But Hero? Not really. Only several books with Hero’s POVs that really scratch my heart deeply and made me weep with the Hero’s pain, and this book is one of them. Sure I love Noel’s story, or Mason’s, or Quinn’s, Pick’s or Knox’s. Hell, Tenning’s my favorite and I love him to the core. Yet Asher won me. He’s.. Vulnerable yet, even though a wee bit shy, he’s not afraid to show it. At least through his songs. Asher feels deep, he’s been hurt, he’s been rejected, yet he came out beautifully and I’m in love with him. So yeah, even though Ten is my man, Asher.. He’s my rock. He’s solid yet soft. And I soooooo want a man like him in my life.
I love everything in this book. The beautiful cover, the story (obviously), the writing, the way Kage give us a glimpse of all the characters from the series.. I love it. Personally, I also love this book a bit better than the previous book, Worth It. I don’t know, I guess it’s because Knox just came out of nowhere while Asher, we know him from Ten’s book, A Perfect Ten. Not to mention the fact that Kage also mention tons of classic rock bands such as The Stones, Pink Floyd and Tom Petty. To be honest, I have no idea how those bands sounds, but I think I’m gonna look it up soon. I mean, I never like rock music and after reading this book.. Maybe I will.
