Opposing Forces
Having been passionate lovers before a laboratory explosion changed their lives, Paz Jones and Nikki Lozakis finally meet again under very different circumstances. Both men are changed, one now known to the world as Silverhawk, who believes in justice and uses his new powers to help the world, and the other a mutant going by the name of Steele, a rogue with superhuman abilities, intent on destroying the mad scientist who made him what he is.
Two men with scarred souls and the superior potential to guard humanity. But can they save themselves and re-ignite the love they once shared even though they are no longer the men they once were? Can they find a way to come to terms with what they have become, and what they have lost?
And then, of course, there’s one other thing to consider before they can begin to forge a new relationship—and his name is Douglas Ashe...

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” - Proverb
‘Opposing Forces’ is a look at what might happen when men who start out with the best of intentions are derailed by the unexpected to the point where nothing they believed in seems to be true any longer. Paz and Nikki worked on reconstructive surgery and healing injuries through nanotechnology when a horrific accident almost killed them both. And while Paz had spirituality on his side and was able to retain his inner humanity despite his scarred body, Nikki was not so lucky and became a rogue who sees himself as disfigured and no longer human. This is the story of how the former lovers attempt to undo the damage that changed their lives forever, forcing them to deal with pain and vulnerabilities neither of them finds easy to confront.

Read for 2017 Feb M/M monthly challenge.
I had this novella for a VERY long time and basically forgot about until the reading challenge prompt & link to books reminded me that I had it. When I started reading m/m, it was mostly superhero fanfiction, so that's one of the reasons (I think lol) I picked this up. The story of Paz & Nikki was told in flashbacks, from present to the past to present again. In the present, they both have been transformed due to a horrible scientific experiment/accident, but what EXACTLY the event wasn't really mentioned, (or maybe I missed it?). But you kinda figured it out. Sometimes you read a novella and when it ends you are somewhat satisfied even though you still want just a "tiny bit" more. This ended and I was like, "that's it?". Maybe it's me, but I felt like it needed a little more. And I did go look to see if maybe there is a 2nd story but found nothing. I haz sad. It was short and hot and sexy, but it kinda just...ended.

I enjoyed the book. Interesting dynamics between the three characters. Could've used a bit more explanations of the event that created them, but that's not an overall bad point.

This was a good book with an interesting concept for a storyline. There were a few confusing parts which may have been explained better if the story was expanded some. Overall, though, a good book. If you like sci-fi and superheroes, I'd recommend giving Opposing Forces a read.

"...Something quite different, Opposing Forces is a special kind of love story. ... Opposing Forces has an unusual premise for a plot but somehow manages to stay away from turning into a comic book and showcases a poignant love between two men badly scarred inside and out... --Lisa, JoyfullyReviewed.com

Probably not a book I would have normally picked up if not for one of my reading challenges. I did enjoy the storyline and thought there were some interesting and original ideas included. I found a number of elements about the story confusing and not fully explained, and some that were just a little too easily resolved. I was also a little squicked out by some of the word/terminology choices used in this story (ex: referring to a guy's tits???). All in, not a bad read in the SuperQueeroes category!
