Forever Mine (The Moreno Brothers) [Kindle Edition]

First off, the plot of this book is good, the characters easy to identify with and I would recommend it - on the one condition that you are not, like me, put off by an apparent lack of proof-reading before publishing.

The layout of the book is odd, to say the least, with random indentation and blank lines, as well as the odd completely blank page that had me flicking back and forth on my kindle, wondering if I had missed something. Worse than that though was the appalling punctuation - with blatant misuse of apostrophes (something that I'm afraid I can't help seeing, and distracts me becasue it drags me out of the story). There are also numerous occasions when a full stop breaks up what should be a longer sentence, making it read in a very jerky way.

I know this is nit-picking, and believe me, if it had been the odd mistake I might have been able to ignore it, but it continues throughout the book, and unfortunately spoiled my enjoyment somewhat. But hey, that's just me.

The story itself, as I mentioned before, is good. The idea of a girl with a friend who is a boy and neither of them are interested in each other in "that" way, is quite rare in romantic fiction; and as someone who has just such a friend, it's always interesting watching a potential boyfriend's reaction to the existing relationship. I liked the fact that there was no hint that Sarah or Sydney ever wanted anything more out of the friendship.

A number of the secondary characters (who get their own stories later in the series) are interesting and punctuation errors not withstanding, I will be reading the rest of the books in the series to find out what happens with them.

There are mentions of a physical relationship - nothing explicit or tastelessly done, but also nothing I would want my 11 year-old daughter reading either. (Although at least the characters are responsible, so maybe when she's a little older!)

If you're looking for a good romantic novel with engaging characters and a believable plot-line, and you can overcome the typos, I would heartily recommend this book - and for the price it's a steal.

I'm swooning all over the place right now...I loved it!

Forever mine is sweet, funny, romantic and very addictive. I had a hard time putting it down...I had to...but didn't want to! Personally I think that's the beauty of E. Reyes' writing because even though the premise of the story was at times predictable there were enough twists that I needed to know what happened next and I fell in love with every single character in this book, which is rare!!!

Angel..so intense, so possessive, so protective, so romantic!!!

Sarah...so sweet, so innocent, so strong yet quite naive!!

The rest of the gang: Eric, Romero, Valerie, Sydney and Alex - LOVED them...

I am so moving onto the next book in this series like right now!!!

E. Reyes YOU ARE FAB-U-LUSH!!!!

I like Eleizabeth Reyes as an author and can recommend Noah and Gio which are aimed more at a mature adult. After reading those I did choose to read some of The Moreno Brothers books which were OK, but I had trouble with one (Romero).

I saw this book was now being offered as a freebie so downloaded it. It's too YA for me and the speed at which the couple fall for each other (within their first meeting) is a bit much and the misunderstanding they have that leads to trouble between them just seemed a bit too silly for my liking.

I'm sure YA's will enjoy it and it is quite suitable as although they enter into a sexual relationship, there are no sex scenes to cause offence.

I did feel Angel was another typical jealous/possessive Moreno Brother, but he was tame compared to Romero!
