Forbidden Men Series: Complete Box Set

Forbidden Men #1-10

by Linda Kage

Have you ever had a taste for temptation? Wanted to started a relationship with a gigolo? Grown a crush on your professor? Married a friend to help her with her kid, only to meet the love of your life the next day? Wanted your roommate's boyfriend or best friend's little sister? Yeah, me neither. But maybe it'd be fun to read about.

Enter the Forbidden Men.

This series is a compilation of stories about different characters in each novel whose lives intertwine with each other. To rate Forbidden status, one main character in the story must at some point in the series be a bartender at the Forbidden Nightclub and their love interest has to have some kind of forbidden element, from minor to major. Their stories can be read as standalones or in any order, but to get the full experience, read them in this order:

- PRICE OF A KISS (Reese & Mason, Reese's point of view)
- TO PROFESSOR, WITH LOVE (Noel & Aspen)
- BE MY HERO ( Pick & Eva)
- WITH EVERY HEARTBEAT (Quinn & Zoey)
- A PERFECT TEN (Ten & Caroline)
- WORTH IT (Knox & Felicity)
- THE GIRL'S GOT SECRETS (Asher & Remy)
- PRICELESS (Sarah & Brandt)
- CONSOLATION PRIZE (Colton & Julianna)
- THE PRICE OF MASON (Reese & Mason, Mason's point of view)

I read one book from this series, and loved it... then I read the summaries of the next books and was sure that I was about to be disappointing-just because I thought there was no way Linda Kage could write ten books with the same quality. I was pleasantly proven wrong. I know you've all read that one book that forced you to read it in one hour instead of a week. This entire series is that book. when I finished the second to last book I couldn't bring myself to start reading that last one, simply because I didn't want it to end. Linda Kage wrote the whole series in such a unique energy, I know that when you start reading you won't want to stop. :) I definitely didn't.

Pronto haré una reseña completita pero me encantó el libro y valió mucho la pena para volver a leer a los y las Forbidden y me encantó que mi pequeño 'Oh mierda' en "Worth It" se volvió un gran 'OH MIERDA' cuando leí "Tis The Season" que es la única historia corta que no venía en la edición de "The Price of Mason" que leí hace varios años.

En resumen, leer un libro cuando una es adolescente y leerlo cuando una es Adulta es algo muy diferente y deja mensajes diferentes, que gusto me dió reencontrarme con estás historias y aprender que aún me encantan

Not great literature, but I really got into the characters and liked that they were connected in most of the books.
