Behind These Eyes
Demetrice is young, successful, and fine. Dating the love of his life since high school, he dreams of making her his wife. A tragic event turns that dream into a nightmare, causing Demetrice to lose Angela and everything they ever had. Will he love again? Denver has her heart rocked to the core by a man she thought was her forever. So much so, it drives her to drink. One drink too many, Denver loses it all, but with hope so small, she checks into rehab and refuses to ever look back. Five years later, Demetrice and Denver cross paths as total strangers, but that quickly changes by one encounter, and they immediately fall in love. There is one problem—their pasts. Once secrets from the past are exposed, will Demetrice and Denver be able to continue their love, living happily ever after, or will the truth bring back too much pain and ruin what was built so soon? Take a ride with Demetrice and Denver and see what’s behind their eyes.

Powerful story of love and forgiveness
Wow! All I can say is that Demetrice is better than me! I walk away from folks for way less than this! God still working! However, I also know how powerful love can be. That was some hella love man! Being serious now, it was a really touching read about second chances and forgiveness. Enjoyed it. 👍👍👍

Beautiful story
This was a well written story that I couldn’t put down once I started. Fate brought these two together before they even knew the tragedy they both experienced at the same time. I’m glad it all worked out for them.

Happily Ever After All......
This is the first book I have read by Mrs. Amore and it was excellent. The plot kept my attention throughout the book. I would definitely recommend and glad she has joined the B. Love family. I will be reading more of her books.
Demetrice and Denver both had a tragic past but they both rebounded beautifully. They found each other without realizing their existing connection. They were each other soulmates. Demetrice went from a single father of one to three within a couple of years of meeting Denver. He proved and became an excellent father. I love how Demetrice supported Denver in her dream career goals by paying for her to finish law school. He pushed and motivated her so she can become a lawyer. Once again wonderful plot looking forward to the next read.

Gut punched love story
I am almost rendered speechless by this book. This author knows how to pack in a story that causes the heart to accelerate but leave you grateful for the journey. The collision of Demetrice and Denver was both volatile and explosive. Demetrice is a stand up guy and knew quickly that Denver was the one for him. When the secret of all secrets came out you wondered who would remain standing. Talk about love prevailed. Whew...I need to finish up this author's catalog because she has a gift for writing those reads that will set you on a guaranteed emotional journey.

When I realized how Demetrice and Denver's paths crossed, I was like whoa! Let me say dude is better than me, and while I don't condone domestic violence, I am appreciative of the author letting him get his anger out the way he did. I woulda slapped fire outta her ass too. His reaction is why people shouldn't sit on stuff. Some "band aids" just need to be pulled off. Having said that, this was a beautiful story about love and forgiveness. I just couldn't have done it...

Very Inspiring
This book is one of love and forgiveness, and finding love out of tragedy. Great read and story line. With that being said I hope that whoever does the editing or proofreading will carefully go over the book. There were some misspellings and words where there shouldn’t have been. Also the last name of Demetrice was different in the beginning of the book than it was at the end. Other than that I thought it was a great book.

Wow what an impressive and impactful read. Denver and Demetrius have both dealt with darkness knocking them down. I won’t give too much of this plot away but I do have say that this book is a great reminder that LOVE in its purist form is an action word not just a feeling. We can say we love someone but what happens when that same someone causes us our deepest hurt? This book definitely seeks to shows us the answer that very question. This is a for sure recommend read

Wow!
New to this author and I was blown away by this story of redemption forgiveness and love. I loved the pacing of the story and insight into their past and what drove them. There was one scene that was hard to read but understood the emotions that led them there. I am super excited to read more from this author. Great read!

OH.MY.GOODNESS!
This story was CRAZY! Demetrice was one strong, beautiful, forgiving man. I loved the way the author described him. Denver was a perfect storm, but it seemed like they were meant to be from the start. I really enjoyed this book, it was perfect black love and romance!

Emotional and touching
This story was one of the most emotional stories that I have read all year. Demetrius and Denver it is a true wonder that their love survived after the secret was revealed about Denver's role in the death of Demetrius almost financee and mother of his child.
I was hooked on this story from the first word.

Great story
This story was so good. The twist just about took me out, I definitely didn’t see that coming. I would say this story is about second chances and forgiveness. I’m so glad Demetrice and Denver found each other. Their HEA was beautiful. I also enjoyed Promise and Hassan’s cameo.

Beware of the rolling tears...
This book had me in tears, sad, angry but you just never know what the next person may be going through. The fact that these two adults were placed in each other’s lives for purpose and reasons. I don’t want to give the book away but great recommendation!

Great storyline, but....
Great storyline. I enjoyed the story and wanted to give it 3.5 stars for this review as is. It was a good read, but it felt a little choppy; an update with some lite editing will earn it a higher rating for sure. Will continue to support this author though.

I started this book today and finished this book today. Cherish writes books so well. This is my second book by her and I will be getting more. You have an alcoholic and a business man. They meet by chance at a dance studio but the 2 plot twists is what got me. Not one but 2! I was like WTF? I can’t write a review without spoiling the book so you will just have to read it. Enjoy!!

I truly enjoyed this book
Beautiful story of Demetrice and Denver. Forgiveness is a powerful and beautiful thing. I commend him for loving her so much that he had no other choice but to forgive her. This is a must read.

Two lost souls
Great story about redemption, forgiveness, and love. Denver was recovering from a break in her psyche and Demetrice was picking up the pieces from his broken life. These two deserved a break and some happiness in an otherwise dreary life.

Sometimes Forgiveness Is Hard
Wow what a very good book. Demetriece and Denver was supposed to meet. The pain they both suffer from. It took a lot for Demetriece to forgive Denver. This shows that love and forgiveness can heal.

The power of...
Forgiveness was displayed prominently in this unique love story between Denver and Demetrice. This book shows that any obstacle can be overcome as long as both parties are willing to put in the work to forgive, heal and grow together.

Great Read
Enjoyed the storyline and the catch of the plot. What are the odds? I wonder if she had found out Angels birthdate sooner would she have confessed?

I read the latest book and had to back up to read Denver and Meechie’s story. It’s unimaginable how they were connected. Love covers a multitude of sin indeed.

Denver and Demetrice went through so much to find each other
Denver and Demetrice truly went through it to get to a love that was created specifically for them. Idk if I could have forgiven and continued on like Demetrice did though. That plot twist was crazy!! Way unexpected!! I enjoyed every minute of this and was rooting for Denver all the way!!

A Risky Take on Forgiveness and Second Chances...
I believe in forgiveness and second chances, but I'm not sure how I would have handled this situation if I was either Demetrice or Denver though. I think the choice for Demetrice was kind of already made for him because of the little plot twist that happened well after he'd fallen for Denver, and I certainly don't see how he would have been to able to conscientiously walk away from her after the other life-changing news they received. Also, how could you not want to know all the information surrounding a tragedy that took someone you loved away from you?! But to not want to know anything...hmmm...that was rather interesting. I'm all about the HEA, but this one for me felt a little bit unsettling. I don't know...
