Forever Mine is a sweet romance about first love. The plot is just that, plus Sarah keeping her best friend genre from Angel and a young creepy coach who flirts with the teenage girls.

Angel Moreno is a sweet, jealous, protective and possessive hero. I loved and felt his sweetness towards Sarah. I never had a boyfriend in high school that rubbed my feet or took me on picnics. Through out the book he does have his jealous moments especially when a group of kids were hanging out by his car with Sarah and his sister Sofia. But then I really felt more of his protectiveness towards his sister. He is sweet and protective at a party. He protected her from another school mate from harassing Sarah and would not leave her side after that. Kudos to Elizabeth Reyes for not having teenagers drive drunk. I loved that Angel and his friends always have a designated driver if drinking. 

Sarah I did enjoy her character but was wishy washy to me. I really did not see the big deal in not wanting to tell her boyfriend Angel that her best friend Sydney is a boy. I loved her talks and friendship with Sydney. 
　
The secondary characters stole the show. I love having secondary characters in a book only when they do not take away from the main characters. I just want to know enough about them, some little teasing to excitement where I can not wait for their own story. Do not get me wrong I loved reading about Alex Moreno, Valerie (her best friend) Sofia Moreno and Eric (Angels best friend) but I think they took away from Sarah and Angel’s story. Forever Mine had three romances going on at the same time. I think if just cut back on the secondary characters romance, could of build Sarah and Angels romance more. They both fell in love fast and hard. 

Oh My Goodness... I got excited when Sofia and Eric were in a scene. I honestly could not see how the Moreno brothers could not tell they were flirting. Poor Sofia, she has to deal with not only one over protective brother but three. They still see her as little Sofia but she is all grown up and wants to live her own life and is falling for Eric. Now Eric is Angels best friend and is like part of the family. When he gets protective of Sofia the brothers see it as him just being like them a brother protecting a sister. Oh my they are totally wrong and when they find out, especially Alex fist are flying. Wow what a excellent scene when Alex found out about them. I was really hoping their story would be next, but it is not. Next up is Alex Moreno and Valerie’s story. Not complaining never a dull moment with them.
　
I loved reading about Alex Moreno and Valerie. They do not really have a relationship more just having fun together. Valerie does not want to be in a relationship. She rather be free, not be hold down by one guy and just have fun. As her and Alex start having their fun together she is starting to have feelings for him and it scares her. Alex also does not want a relationship and is fine with them just having fun but he is starting to feel jealous, protective and possessive of Valerie and does not know how to take it. Alex is my favorite of the brothers and I am excited to see how these two can go from just having fun together to lovers in a relationship.

Forever Mine is a sweet story but it was Eric, Sofia, Alex and Valerie that got my attention and I look forward to continuing The Moreno Brothers series to see how their story turns out.

Forever Mine is the first book in the Moreno Brothers series and it is a good and fast read. I like the authors writing style a lot and the book kept me interested enough that I finished in within a couple of days. 

I suggest this for fans of YA and new adult romance, although there are some possible questionable themes for younger teens.

Sarah is the new girl in town after being forced to move because her mother landed in jail. She is desperate to go back to her best friend Sydney, who happens to be a guy, but ends up rapidly falling in love with Angel. The problem: Angel doesn't think that guys and gals can be just friends. 
I really enjoyed this book but it wasn't anything to write home about. There were some spelling errors but it didn't really detract from the novel. The relationship had a major case of instalove, now I'm not one to really complain about but this one was too fast even for me. Honestly it was very predictable and because of that the climax felt very anticlimactic. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular given that it was free and I downloaded on whim; since my expectations were so low I thought it was pretty good.

this was a very good love story and you could feel the emotion of all the characters in the book ... I love it

This was pretty much one big, predictable yawn with immature characters and typos. Way too many typos.
