5 ‘Lick you later’ stars!
Linda Kage has done it again. Created a story I completely adore with a near-perfect hero and heroine. When I read Be My Hero and fell so hard for Pick and his story, I didn’t think it could be done again. I mean, the same series… who can make me feel like this twice? Linda Kage can. Pick is (and will probably always be) my favorite of hers. He’s in my top 5 book boys ever. But Ten… Ten was pretty perfect. He gave him a run for his money and that’s really saying some ...more

FIVE OREN TENNING STARS.
"So this is my Pathetic Loser's confession: I am Oren Tenning, and I have fallen. Hard."
Linda Kage continues her Forbidden men series in style. Since meeting Oren Tenning and his manwhore ways I've been dying, yes dying to get my grabby romance hands all over this book. Packed full of genuinely heart felt moments I could not stop turning the pages to see what would become of this loveable rogue and his laughably inappropriate ways. I've never wanted a hero to find his way ...more

I have a total book hangover and I want to go back and reread the whole thing because I don't want Ten's story to end. OMG it was so epic.

4.5 Ten and Caroline are perfect for each other stars!
I won't do a full summary of the book here since the blurb is pretty self-explanatory. And I also feel that Ten and Caroline's story has been playing out since book two and I think most readers are already familiar with their back story.
For non-readers of this series, you could say Ten and Caro's story is typical in this genre. Ten is a manho with a heart of gold and Caroline is the forbidden sister of his best friend. She thinks he doesn't ...more

Linda Kage delivered BIG TIME with Ten and Caroline’s story. It was everything I dreamed of and more. The story is told in alternating povs of Oren Tenning and Caroline Gamble. These two main characters both have amazing senses of humor, high sex drives and a forbidden infatuation with one another.

***5+ "Lick you later, baby!" stars for Oren "Ten" Tenning and his lovely Caroline***
I think that almost everyone from my friends had realized by now, that i have become almost obsessed with this series...
Every single story was unique and captivating and i honestly can't decide which one of these couples are my favorite one!!!
I think that i love them all and until "A Perfect Ten", my most favorite with a tiny difference were Pick and Eva (Milk Tits) and after them, were Mason and Reese (Bu ...more

If you have read my reviews you know I love brother’s best friend books, they are my absolute favorite. I have read so many of them and they never get old. Naturally some are better than others, and people this one was definitely one of the best! I am huge fan of The Forbidden Men series. I have been anxiously awaiting Ten’s book, but had no idea how much I would love it.

This is the 5th book in the Forbidden Men series and Book 1 was my favorite so far but now I have another favorite in the series: Book 5... I loved this one really very much. Or fell in love with it as I did in the first book.
Oren TENning (aka TEN) and Caroline are the best couple, best hero/heroine that I have met for a long while... They are perfect in their own way. Their love was perfect. Everything about the book was perfect... Am I clear on how much I loved this book ? :)))

I have loved every single book I've read in this series...but this one is definitely my favorite of all. I didn't think anyone would ever be able to top "Pick" for me, let alone a foul-mouthed reformed manwhore

If you have read any of the books in this series, then you know perfectly well who Ten is...I mean he can't be missed !! He is Noel Gamble's best friend and everyone in their group knows about his whoring way ...more
The title could only have been more apt if it was named A Perfect Five for the rating I’m giving it. Linda Kage provides a naughtily sassy and sweet story, filled with heartfelt moments, laugh out loud dialogue and inner monologues from both points of view laced with a beautiful swoony romance.
Oren Tenning restarted his life when he went to college. He left behind his hometown and with it his heartbreaking past, hiding it behind a revolving door of casual flings. Through the years he’s only ...more

That’s the curious thing about temptation. It festers and grows. You feed that bitch soon enough and she morphs into craving, and then craving turns into obsession. Pretty soon, nothing in your life is as important as that one thing you want but can’t have.
Well, it’s becoming increasingly clear that I am addicted to these boys in this wonderfully ‘forbidden' series. Linda Kage may have never been on my radar before, but it is clear that she is now. Despite the cheesy dialogue (though ...more
The protagonists get together almost 30% in the book. Then what's the point to drag such a long book? It was fun at first but towards the end, it became too ridiculous for me.
It had many unnecessary fillers that could have been avoided. After 70%, it became a total soap opera. Multiple things were going on made it more dramatic which was weird because I didn't expect it to be turned into a soap opera.

Dear Oren Tenning,
be glad to whatever God you believe in that you're not real. Otherwise you'd be undoubtedly tied up in my basement for my enjoyment only.
So guys, I'm usually not a stalker, but gee! That man brought it out of me. Along with so many feelings I'm positive I'll be drowning in them if I don't get another fix soon enough.
Ten, or Oren, totally did it for me. He's earned a golden ticket for my Book Boyfriend's top-ten of all the time. Mainly because he's not just sweet, or just witty, ...more

Readers also enjoyed
Linda writes romance fiction from YA to adult, contemporary to fantasy. Most Kage stories lean more toward the lighter, funner side with a couple meaningful moments thrown in that center around love and hope. Focuses more on entertainment value and emotional impact than realism. She likes the drama and crazy, over-the-top plots that make you cry then laugh, get mad then sigh happily.
