BLURB:

In the year 2081 our planet survived global warming of an apocalyptic scale. When the dust settled and the water receded Dr. Anthony Smith, one of only a few hundred survivors of GWI, started society anew. Having come to the conclusion that injudicious breeding played a huge role in the destruction of Earth as we knew it in the twenty first century, he worked closely with other survivors to isolate the Dionysus gene. This gene has the ability to manipulate human DNA to ensure that all male children be born gay, and all female children be born lesbians. A new society is born.

In the year 2300 Dr. Smith’s descendants are ushering in the twenty fourth century having maintained control of the government that still rules society. Twins Aiya and Aiyan are preparing to meet their matches and take control of House Gaeland, the current ruling House. But not everything is as it seems.

Love is Love.. it knows no gender and doesn’t conform to restrictions and boundaries. Aiyan has found his soul mate in Kaden, the prince of House Devi that he is matched with and eventually marries. But when the person Aiya falls in love with tests the boundaries put in place after GWI, all hell breaks loose. And in the midst of one secret unraveling, another will emerge. There is a growing anomaly that threatens to destroy over two hundred years of progression. This anomaly is known as Opposites.

*WARNING* Opposites is a majorly M/M New Adult novel that contains explicit sexual content and relationships between gay, lesbian and straight couples.

REVIEW:

I saw this book and was kinda intrigued with it. It made me wonder if this book would be as good as it sounded and it kinda was.

200 years in the future there are only a handful of surviving countries that survived GWI (Global Warming Incident) and there are seven ruling houses. Aiyan and Aiya are from the House Gaeland and they are next to rule along with their future Wife (Aiya) and Husband (Aiyan). House Gaelan is located in the Colorado Mountains. They rule over USA, Canada, Alaska and surrounding areas.

Aiyan is betrothed to Kaden and theirs is a true Love Match. From the first moment they touched, it was just over. They were the perfect match for the other. I liked that these two had some time to get to know each other. Even with the attraction that they felt riding them hard…but they still took the time to get to know each other. I liked that Kaden was a virgin and he wouldn’t sleep with Aiyan before their marriage vows. I really liked that these two men were equals in their relationship. There was no Alpha/submissive regarding their relationship. It was sweet and tender and very loving.

Aiya and Maeve’s relationship was different. These two women became friends and even though their relationship wasn’t like Aiyan and Kaden’s. The way that it was supposed to be…it was still a really strong, special relationship. The love and friendship and true caring that they shared was just as strong as Aiyan and Kaden’s….it was just different. I like that they also took the time to get to know each other and become friends that they shared such a special bond.

There was lots of sex in this book. LOTS. There was m/f, f/f and m/m sex happening in this book. I know that it says that on the blurb…but I wanted to make sure that you really get it. There was more m/m sex happening in this story. There was a bit of f/f sex happening. There was just a bit of m/f sex happening. I wanted to let you know, so that you’re not surprised. The sex in here was pretty graphic. That’s always a plus in my mind. You could feel the way that the characters felt about each other in the way their intimate scenes played out. All but Maeve’s intimate scenes, her scenes were just about sex and that’s ok too.

I will say that one of the things that truly got to me was the editing in this book. I started getting frustrated with all the incorrect wording, the grammatical errors and there were those on EVERY PAGE!! Seeing apostrophes in the wrong place that change the meaning of the word being used. This just really made it hard to stay in the story for me. I really feel that these issues distracted me from what was happening in the story as I had to stop and figure out what was meant to be said.

The blurb actually gives you a good idea on what the book is about. There were a few surprises and that was nice. Overall, this was a really nice book, even with the editing issues that I really hope that gets better.
