My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summary from GoodReads
I might’ve ruined any chance I ever had at a meaningful relationship when I decided to become a male prostitute at eighteen, but that was okay.
I paid off my mom’s debt, the rent, my sister’s hospital bills. I put food on the table and kept eviction notices at bay.
It was worth it.
But was it worth the price of my soul?
Two years later, this job has begun to kill me in every way but physically, until SHE comes along.
Reese is the breath of fresh air I need. She makes me smile, she makes me laugh, she makes me want more. But how can we ever be together after all the choices I’ve made?
Listing one mistake after another, these are my confessions and how we came through to the other side.
***
The Forbidden Men series concludes with THE PRICE OF MASON by looping back to the beginning and retelling PRICE OF A KISS through his eyes.
Just when you thought you knew everything, here’s the rest of the story.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Back in 2014 I had just started discovering my way through Goodreads and the NA oriented books. Now the site kept recommending to me "Price of a Kiss" by Linda Kage and finally, I bought it.
And then I fell in love.
For four years I have been a fan of this series with its heartfelt messages, amazing, funny, emotional characters and lots of humorous scenes. Seeing that the book centers around Mason truly gives to the series the feeling that we come in a full circle back to the beginning and back to Reese and Mason. I enjoyed Mason's POV, which took leaps in the time of the book and how he fell in love with Reese from his own POV.
The best part was that close to the ending he had a scene with Ten and I was giggling remembering how Ten feel in love later in the series. Oh, and there is a surprise after the book's end too!
Linda Kage has created an unforgettable cast of characters who will stay with you even after the end of the book.
And I am still reeling over the fact that many of my favorite series have ended in 2019! Recommended and also if this is your first time seeing this book, I implore you to read all the series!
EXCERPT
(as shared by the author)
Because I was a glutton for punishment, I wandered in after her.
I knew I shouldn’t. I was already knocking at temptation’s door; I was being a complete idiot for even coming here tonight. But I just had to see her room, the bed she slept on each night, the sheets that touched her skin when she dreamed.
The need was more addictive than I could resist.
I stepped inside.
The space was snug, real snug, which was probably why it smelled so strongly of her. Her scent was literally trapped in this place. Not much more than a small bed, dresser, and miniature bookshelf adorned it. We’d have to get close in here. We’d have to stay close.
I went rock solid hard.
No one knew I was here. Not Monica, not Patricia. No one who would make a case of it. No one would know anything we did.
Watching Reese’s lines bloom into delicious curves as she bent down to fetch the second Harry Potter book for me, I played with the idea in my head.
Just one night. What could it hurt? One night to live out my ultimate fantasy of being with Reese.
It would be wrong. So fucking wrong.
But it’d be worth it to finally taste her.
