This was the first book of Adrienne Giordano's that I've ever read...and now I MUST buy the rest of the series. Her characters were perfectly flawed, honest and so much fun to read!
Jackson Lynx is the man with a plan. It's a plan that he's determined to follow through with, until he helps out Jillian. Despite their issues concerning addiction, the two came together to solve the mystery of "who is destroying Jillian's life".
My favorite quote from the book, that I think sums it up nicely:
"The man had a way about him, all blue-eyed and baby-faced, yet so intense. A deadly combo slowly chipping away at the number one reason she shouldn't allow herself to get emotional about him." -Location 842
If you're a fun of witty dialogue, intense action, and great romance...this is definitely a book you'll want to read. Yes, it's part of a series, but it's perfectly suitable to read as a stand-alone.
Thank you to Adrienne Giordano and The Dangerous Darlings for providing me a copy of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Jillian, who works for a pharmaceutical company, walks in on a mysterious after hours delivery. That night she wakes up to go to the bathroom, only to discover an intruder in her house. Enter Jackson Lynx, a very hot, very sexy VP of a security company. He has completed almost a year of clean-living, since he beat a prescription drug addiction, and it is taking all of his willpower not to fall for Jillian before the year is up. Together they discover the secret that Jillian's employer has been hiding. If you like books full of suspense, with a lot of hot, steamy scenes thrown in for good measure, then this book is for you. You will not be disappointed!

I love that Ms Giordano's re-releasing of this series is giving me an excuse to read the books that I've missed from it (or re-read, as the case may be)! Lynx and Jillian's story was unputdownable--I read it in a single day!
Both Lynx and Jillian felt so real--they each have their own plans for their lives--which, of course, do not include finding a relationship!--and though their chemistry is undeniable, they also have very solid reasons why a relationship between them can't possibly work.
And then you throw in the very real danger that Lisa is in, the danger that Lynx and his coworkers are soon drawn into--and suddenly the question changes from will their relationship survive? to will they survive to have a relationship?
Like the other books in the series, Opposing Forces is full of twists and turns--just when the characters (and the reader!) think they *might* know what is going on, everything changes yet again, leaving you on the edge of your seat. Ms Giordano does a great job of keeping the reader at the edge of their seat, rooting not only for Jillian and Lynx to figure out the mystery, but for them to find an HEA together in the end.
Which they--spoiler alert!--do. But she makes them work for it...and it's worth it in the end. I finished this one with a smile on my face and a happy sigh :)
It definitely didn't hurt that Lynx is good friends with Vic ([b:Man Law|11405093|Man Law (Private Protectors, #2)|Adrienne Giordano|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328176163l/11405093._SX50_.jpg|16337828]) as well as his coworker, so we see plenty of Vic (and Gina!) here...
If you enjoy romantic suspense, this is the series for you! Opposing Forces *could* work as a standalone, but why would you want to just read one? ;)
Rating: 4 stars / A
