Beth and Finn loathe each other, barely keeping their simmering tension under wraps during work meetings. But as it turns out hate is as ever far closer to love than both want to admit, especially since Finn is a confirmed bachelor and Beth is on the hunt for a husband and father to her future children. But as they struggle to keep from kissing each other and they finally succumb to their urges for one wild night, can Finn change?

Lots of great sexual tension in this novella from Zoe York, with a great payoff during the night they are stuck in the winery together. I had not read any of the other books in this series but had no problem following along with the characters

I always struggle a bit when one character is dead set against marriage and babies and ends up changing their mind. Ultimately I believed in this HEA for the most part, but Finn definitely had completely change his wants and needs to be with Beth.

I listened to this on audio from Hoopla!

There is a fine line between love and hate, and Beth and Finn know all too much about that line.

Beth's biological clock is ticking and the only man that seems to get her pulse to race also makes her blood boil. Finn has absolutely no desire to settle down and and have children; he loves his solitary lifestyle. The problem is that the woman he'd love to fall into bed with, is also the woman who's buttons he loves to push. When Beth and Finn are forced to spend time together, their sparks begin to fly.

Beyond Love and Hate is a short but sexy novella that shows us the thin line between love and hate. Like all Zoe York books, there's a bit of humor and a whole lot of sexy chemistry. The writing is well crafted, the dialogue flows nicely, and the characters are believable and easy to relate to. The only issue that I had with this book was just how quickly Beth and Finn seemed to connect and fall for each other, it felt a little too quick and would have enhanced the story if we were to have seen the romance progress more naturally.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange of my honest opinions*

I wanted to love this book, but struggled with it. We spent most of the book seeing Beth and Finn fight against each other and what they felt for each other. Both of the felt to draw but neither wanted to act on it. Finn thought that he didn't want anything permanent and Beth knew that and thought that was truly what he wanted. It only took them being stranded for one night to give in to what they were feeling, but the next morning they both went there separate ways. It took till the end of the book for Finn to realize that he wanted Beth in his life for good and that he wanted a family and future with her.

I wish we could have seen them together as a couple more and not as much time as enemies.

3.5 stars. This was a cute short romance in the enemies to lovers trope with the H scared of committment, like they always are hah. I loved the length of the book and it was just enough. It was a bit over the top sweet for me, but I really did enjoy this one.
