it’s was okay
With Hate, I Do wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. There were moments when I had no idea who was speaking, and at times new characters were introduced in ways that didn’t make sense. For example, the first few chapters focus on the Chen family, but it later becomes clear that it was actually the Turner family being referenced.
Another point of confusion was Sophia’s background. Early on, we learned her stepmother and brother were Spanish, but it wasn’t until later that her half-Asian heritage was revealed. That detail felt like it came out of nowhere.
In terms of character development, Marcus was written with more depth, while Sophia’s arc was frustrating at times. She made questionable choices that made her hard to root for, though I will say she redeemed herself somewhat toward the end.
Overall, I’d rate this book 2 stars. It was okay, but not particularly memorable. I don’t quite understand the 4-star ratings it’s been getting, though that’s just my opinion.
If anyone has recommendations for a truly great love story with a strong heroine, I’d be more than happy to take them.

I gave this 5 stars even though…
I did enjoy reading this novel even though there were a few things that concerned me. The plot was a really good one (some good intrigue thrown in) and the dialogue between Sophia and Marcus was really great, however, some of details about some of the characters were vague as another reviewer pointed out. I was confused by Sophia being referred to a Chen although her last name and her father’s last was Turner. I got impression by one reference that her father was Chinese or part Chinese although no real details are given. I also felt that this story may have used AI in a few instances. I have been listening to/watching some AI stories on YouTube and the names Sterling and Chen pop up a lot, like a lot a lot. Also the habit of describing how much something costs that are often outrageous (i. e. Wearing a suit that costs more than some people’s cars). I may be nitpicking but I noticed. Finally, even though I really liked the characters, the story was about four chapters too long: mostly because some phrases were repetitive. I still think it’s worth reading.

I recommend reading With Hate, I Do, by Simone Silk and Tyla Walker. Sophia hated and blamed Marcus for causing her father, Charles's, heart attack, by "stealing" his company. Marcus did engineer a hostile takeover of Charle's company, and may have contributed to the amount of stress he was under, but did he really cause the heart attack? Why was Charles's company in financial trouble? Who else stood to benefit if the Marcus agreed to a partnership instead of a takeover? Look a bit deeper, because things may not always what it seems.

A boring read!
I’m sorry but this story had no passion. I sometimes felt like I was reading a how to manual and not a love story. Marcus and Sophia has no fire.

Interesting read with some intriguing moments. At least it had some romance too. Marcus and Sophia was a good match and needed each other as it turns out.
