Between Love and Hate Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 198 ratings

Cahlir Decker and Bizay Donneeter had an extraordinary involvement that resulted in more than either of them ever intended. Their connection went deeper than the sexual chemistry that sizzled to life between the powerful corporate consultant and the lingerie entrepreneur. At least, that was what Biz thought until their enjoyable time together ended when she woke one morning to an empty bed and no sign of Cahlir. Biz refused to acknowledge how deeply the man had wounded her-how deeply her feelings for him had grown in the short span of time they had known each other. She was angry and hurt and leaned on a fair amount of hate to survive. Not a bad plan until she received word that her family’s advertising firm was in trouble and that Cahlir was its new owner.
Biz didn’t have time to let fear register over the unexpected turn of events. Fear however, did eventually find its way to the forefront of her mind as did a healthy dose of suspicion. Did Cahlir know that she’d left San Diego pregnant with their child? What would he do when he realized she’d had their daughter and had kept her from him for four years?

    Awesome,if you enjoyed reading about how a strong love can conquer misunderstanding, broken hearts and trust and great passion and sexual action then this book is for you. The characters Biz and Cahlir were well developed with good and bad qualities that made me want to beat them up for not talking to each other. Great read that I found hard to stop reading creating a need to finish for a great ending.

    A little drawn out but good read. I thought the heroin had a little to much insecurities concerning a guy she just met. I also wondered about many of the characters who were mentioned and if they had their own stories. Can't wait to see.

    This one was good. Loved the chemistry between Cahlir and Biz. The story line was believable and there are openings for more romantic relationships to develop (hint follow up Max, the twins and even Cahlir's sister Carla).

    Have been reading this author for a long time, keep up the good work.

    AlTonya did a masterful job writing this book. Trust and communication is very essential to any relationship. Neither one was in a position to help each other. Finally they were able to turn hate into love. Peace and Blessings.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed the story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2015
    This is my first book by AlTonya Washington

    Cahlir Decker and Bizay Donneete's story.

    I really enjoyed the story. I think this was an AA story and I think only my second AA read. I was not sure what nationality Cahlir was because the book says he is honey colouered with silver eyes. So I am assuming he was a man of colour from how he comes across in the book.

    Although I enjoyed the story, I think the book could have been done in less pages. Especially after the secrets on both sides were revealed. Nevertheless a good read.
