Price of a Kiss by Linda Kage


Forbidden Men, Book 1

Synopsis: I don’t care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean—

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It’s no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he’s just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I’ve ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate…except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He’s a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.

Review: I didn’t know the author at all but I saw on goodreads that the series had 10 volumes, which is a lot for a romance series. When I read the synopsis, I was immediately intrigued by the story and I’m finally glad I read it, because I had a great time!

Everyone on campus knows that Mason is a gigolo. Rumors are flying and when Reese comes to live with her cousin and meets the man in question, she doesn’t understand why he hates her. Their roads cross again when our heroine becomes the baby-sitter of Mason’s sister. Reese has a dark past, but so does Mason. They can’t be together but everything brings them together. Will they find a solution?

I had a great time with this novel and couldn’t wait to find out how the story would end. I don’t know if I will read book 2, because of the teacher/student theme, but I am looking forward to book 3 about Reese’s cousin Eva!
