This is the second book in the Opposites Attract series. And when it comes to Maya and Alex, I don't think you could find two people that were any less alike. Maya is a risk taker. She usually has a good reason for taking the risk but she thinks of others before she thinks of her own safety. Her career as a cop ended when she was trying to rescue a dog. Alex always plays it safe. But then he has good reason for not taking risks. Now more so then ever, Alex needs to show his newly discovered daughter that unnecessary risks needs to be avoided at all costs. But apparently being polar opposites doesn't stop the attraction.
This was a great contemporary romance. I have to say I also found it very informative as I've never read about a hero with hemophilia. Author Erin Nichols explained in the forward how she had researched the topic for both Alex and his daughter's condition. Wouldn't have expected to find this topic covered in a romance novel but I liked that it was a different twist because it is a condition that affects many people.

This series just gets better and better as each of the “Opposites Attract”, fall in love – irrevocable, irreversible and irresistible!

If I thought “Completely Yours” was one of Erin’s finest writings, “Forever Mine” surpasses beyond that and more. Maya Goodwin is by far Erin’s crowning glory – strong and courageous, witty and tenacious, aggressive and stubborn, never for a second would she hesitates to step in front of danger to save a person. And Dr. Alex Nolan never saw her coming with her swords and boa!

Cautious and a planner, Alex Nolan doesn’t know what to do with Maya and the instant attraction that sizzles at first sight. His entire life goes on the wind, as he tries to bond with a daughter he never knew he had, battling a rare medical issue, and his constant want for Maya. Keeping the two parallel is a losing battle.

Between the martial classes and sword swinging, between the pages of galactic history and boa classes, and between the passion and lust that sizzle the bed sheets, “Forever Mine” is pure orgasmic read!

Kudos to Erin’s creativity and imagination as she weaves these stories in and around superheroes, paying special attention to the chemistry and emotions among the players, keeping the characters down to earth and normal, with enough layers to charm the readers.

Again, some books are beyond reviews and need to be read to enjoy every scene, every emotion and every word and Erin Nicholas’s books are just that.

You can be anything, but first you have to imagine it! This is a great line and one of many in the new release by Erin Nicholas, Forever mine, part of the opposite attracts series. This is the story of Maya and Alex. We first met Maya in Completely yours. She is a kick ass real life super woman, helping children though martial arts; Alex is no less wonderful, and is a doctor, trying to help the daughter, he just found out about, cope with a condition that I did not know much about. How great is it when a book not only entertains, the dialogue, story and characters do that so effortlessly but also educates, (Maya researches this conditions as I did as I read this book). It is so empowering to finish reading such a great story, have that happy feeling that another couple got their HEA and also be a little more educated in the process.

I had really enjoyed the previous book of the series, so I was pretty excited to read this one.

I loved love loved Maya and Alex. She's sassy and pushy and seriously kick ass. He's smart and maybe a little cocky and together they're absolutely adorable. Oh, and the chemistry is off the charts.

There are loads of cute, geeky scenes and talks about superheroes and cosplay. It was sweet to see Alex bend over backwards to learn things for Charli. I think the best part was backstory (view spoiler) It wasn't something I've read before and it was fairly refreshing.

Overall, a fun and quick read that was mostly all fluff. I can't wait to see who gets the next story.

**Huge thanks to Forever and NetGalley for providing the arc free of charge**

This is one of those books about which I'm floundering, and my feelings tomorrow may be different. Having finished this last night, though, I'm still in a bit of a funk. Let me first say that I LOVED Maya. She is so strong and quirky and geeky cute and just everything I love about a heroine. The fact that I loved her character so much is why I'm floundering. I wanted her to have the I'll-do-anything-to-make-you-mine kind of love and devotion, and I didn't really get that from Alex (yeah, I understand why, but still...). I wanted him to make a grand statement, and I came away with the feeling that if Maya hadn't gone to the hospital, Alex never would have gone after her. So boo to Alex for that. But high-five to Maya for having such strong self-esteem that she didn't need the grand gesture. And kudos to Ms. Nicholas for such strong character development that she could make me feel these emotions!

Ehhh. While I liked the characters as individuals, I just didn't care about them as a couple. I really wanted to. It I found myself skimming along to the happy ending.

Superheroes, sexy doctor, ex-cop and loyal friends, oh my!
What happens when a swoony doctor and martial arts expert meet?
A great story of passion and healing, that’s what.
Dr. Alex Nolan tends to stay out of harm's way is mesmerized by Maya Goodwin owner of a martial arts studio.
Opposites on all levels it was entertaining as these two connect.
Alex seeking information about superheroes to strengthen the
bond with his daughter.
Maya the strong female heroine who can’t resist the ever-observing Alex.
In addition to the magnetic sizzle of a budding relationship you’ll
be dazzled by a ten-year-old Charli, whose imagination creates a world filled with heroes and possible bodily danger.
Costumes, character combat, geeky friends and sweet hotness
made this an enjoyable read.

I have no idea how to express how much I love this book! I might even love it more than the first book in the series. Maya and Alex had such chemistry from the very first meeting of the eyes. You couldn't help but root for them to get together. Maya wants to do whatever she can to help Alex become closer to his daughter, including taking lessons from her, lessons that become very personal and sexy.
While Sapphire Falls might still be my favorite series by this author, this second book in this series is ranking right up there.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

There's not doubt about it, Alex and Maya will forever steal your heart.
Maya forces you to fall in love with her, while Alex refuses to see what's right in front of his face.
Erin Nicholas knows exactly how to write a story that sweeps you away. Get your tissue ready because you're gonna need it.

Forever Mine is the second book in the Opposites Attract series by Erin Nicholas. Maya Goodwin is a woman who holds nothing back in anything she does whether it's helping children gain more self-esteem, or loving someone with her heart and sole. Alex Nolan is a renowned doctor who specializes in research for Hemophilia. He is a man who is always on the outside looking in, never putting himself out there. Until the day he finds out he is the father of a nine year old girl who has the same affliction as he does - Hemophilia. His daughter Charli is a child who is into the Galactic Renegades and Alex wants to learn everything he can about the show in order to make a positive connection with his daughter.

Alex attends a demonstration at Active Imagination Martial Arts and Fitness Studio where he watches several adults demonstrating various martial arts, stage fighting and weaponry techniques dressed as Superheros. One particular Superhero got his attention immediately, a woman in purple leather who just happened to be the owner of Active Imagination. He was so taken by her, he could not take his eyes off of her.

Alex enlists Maya's help in learning everything he can about the Galactic Renegades in order to impress his daughter, but while doing that Maya challenged him at every turn. The chemistry between them was amazing and it soon became apparent that Alex and Maya could not keep their hands off each other.

Can Maya get Alex to finally open up and take a chance, or is he so used to being on the outside looking in that he misses a chance of a lifetime.

This was a great story dealing with a man who doesn't know how to go for it and a woman who does not know how to put the brakes on her actions or her emotions. I truly loved this story.

Erin tells a story about hemophilia, but it is a story about so much more than that. I highly recommend this book and this series.

Forever Mine is a great addition to the Opposite Attract series. Erin Nicholas never fails to amaze me with her books, she is my top go to author. Maya Goodwin gives 100% in all she does, she's a risk taker and lives her life to the fullest. Alex Nolan likes to play it safe. He finds out he had a 9 year old daughter and enlists Maya's help to build his relationship with her. What wasn't planned was Alex's feelings for Maya, from the first time they saw each other they knew there was chemistry between them. I loved the way Maya gave 100% of herself in everything she did and the way she would pull Alex out of his safe place, the way she made him think about things in a different way. I absolutely LOVED Forever Mine and cannot wait to see was Erin Nicholas has for us next.
