Let your hair down, Caroline, they said. It'll be fun, they said.
I know I've closed myself off in a major way in the past year, ever since “the incident” where I messed up my life completely. It's past time I try to live again or just give up completely. But this is quite possibly the craziest thing I've ever done. In a last ditch effort to invigorate myself, I'm standing outside Oren Tenning's bedroom, I just peeled off the sexiest pair of underwear I own, and my hand is already raised to knock. My brother would disown me for doing anything with his best friend, and he'd probably kill Oren. But if I play my cards right, no one will ever know about this. Not even Ten.
Maybe after tonight, I’ll finally get over this stupid, irrational crush I hate having on the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. Or maybe I’ll just end up falling for him even harder. Maybe I’ll discover there’s so much more to my crude, carefree hunk than meets the eye.

EXCERPT #1
The entire notion was crazy. I would never in a million years actually go through such a thing.
An hour later, thousands of voices in my head shrieked. “For the love of God, Caroline. What’re you doing?”
“Shh,” I hissed at the annoying shits. “I’m doing this.”
I slipped inside the front door to Quinn, Oren, and Zoey’s apartment. If anyone caught me, I already had an excuse handy. I was here to see Zoey. To talk important girl stuff. Yeah. That sounded good. And I really would talk to her if I was caught...about the fact that I’d lost my ever-loving mind!
Pausing at the beginning of the hall, I took a moment to bolster my nerve. Oren’s bedroom was the first door on the right. Only ten feet away. Drawing in a deep breath, I started to step forward when an idea hit me. Scrambling, I reached under my skirt for the panties I’d raced home to change into, and I peeled them down my legs.
I know, I know. They were the nicest underwear I owned. Why was I taking them off before he could even see the goods? Well, probably because, if we stayed in the dark like we were supposed to, he’d never see them anyway. And tonight, I just wanted to be bold and promiscuous. If I was really going to do this, I was going to do it right.
Pantyless, I stopped in front of his door and lifted my palm, but instead of knocking, I set my fingers against the wood. He was on the other side of this door, waiting for me.
Okay, fine, waiting for some other girl. But if I knocked and went inside, it’d be me he took.
A thrill raced up my spine, and butterflies danced in my stomach.
I knocked.
My 5-stars-wish-i-could-give-ten-stars review of the Perfect Ten
Just when i thought i couldn't love Linda Kage any more than i already do, she goes and write The Perfect Ten, I mean OMG. Seriously, she way outdid herself when she decided to write the hero of Oren Tenning. HOLY HELL.. not only is he a cocky, arrogant asshole- love- he is gentle and loving. And if you have read the previous books in the Forbidden series, you will know that is totally out of character for him.
thank you Linda for such a fantastic novel. I bawled my eyes out at midnight last night scared for my life that this story wasn't going to end the way i had hoped for- but it ended up all that and more. side note- i was going to put the book down and go to sleep at a decent hour- but i just COULDN'T close my eyes without knowing the ending. Buy this book, love this book- you NEED this book in your life. this book will be on my tops of 2015 that's for sure. and I am in a total book slump and its all Linda's fault!!
I received a complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Oren, or Ten as everyone calls him, has a big problem. He wants to give up his manwhore ways, but not for just "some girl,"- its actually THE girl, Caroline Gamble. The sister of Noel Gamble, his best friend. And he promised Noel he would never betray him, never touch his sister, but the fact of the matter is Caroline is everything he could ever want in a woman.
Caroline is my new favorite heroine, and it makes sense as this is my favorite Linda Kage book. She is SUCH a strong character for a nineteen year old, she has been through so much its unreal. I really loved her personality too. She matched Ten spot on!! they went head to head with the dirty jokes. i am obsessed with their story and how it unfolded.
SO many FEELS. this book was filled with sexual tension, and every emotion i could ever think of. I was happy, i was sad, i was distraught, i was scared, but ultimately i was SO happy how it ended. And that EPILOGUE, dead. it was fantastic. i love my epilogues to have a wrapped up feel, but ultimately i want there to be room for growth and more to come from the story, and there will be!!
