One couple, two coasts--it may be unconventional, but Riley and Asher make it work. Riley's fierce New York career and Asher's lucrative Phoenix sports agency are the perfect balance to their sexy, satisfying marriage. Which is what makes Asher's sudden ultimatum to Riley--leave New York or leave him--so shocking. And Riley has an even bigger surprise in store, forcing her to decide where her heart and future really lie....
Brokering million-dollar deals is easy for Asher; living apart from his wife isn't. But can Asher walk away from everything he's worked for? Or will ambition and drive--the things they love most about each other--tear Riley and Asher apart?
Perhaps changing priorities will make this couple fly even higher....

Hudsons Crossing,
This review is from: Hudsons Crossing (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
How is love possible when the two people involved live on opposite ends of the country, both with high-powered demanding jobs neither is willing to leave?After breaking a story involving an inside scandal at one of the nation's top sport's agencies, Riley Stamper never imagined a follow-up meeting with one of the partners of the agency would send her life in a tailspin. Handsome, successful and determined to have her at any cost, Asher Hudson knew from first glance Riley was a woman he wanted to get to know no matter their current living situations. Riley is content to travel from New York to Phoenix when time permits if it means she can spend all her time in the arms of the man who continues to show her what she's been missing outside of news stories, deadlines and another great lead. Asher has the money and the means but what he wants most of all is Riley in Phoenix where he can spend more than just a passing weekend, or a stolen moment or two with her. One cross-country whirlwind relationship and a marriage later, this power couple find themselves at an emotional standstill. Loving each other with a deepness that's scary but emotional baggage from childhood and a long held secret might be too much to bare for a couple with everything to lose. Using a relationship subject I've always wondered about Hudsons Crossing brings to light the issues surrounding long distance relationships and the strain that comes with not living in the same place when the sun goes down. How the lack of personal time can wreck havoc on the ability to participate in a long-term commitment. AlTonya Washington went deep in her portrayal of some of the anguish couples experience while trying to come to terms with what's most important, the love of your life or the career you've sweat blood and tears for? Is there truly room for compromise or will one person in the relationship eventually have to leave behind all they hold near and dear. I really believe readers will enjoy this latest treasure from AlTonya Washington and how she was able to work through Asher and Riley's concerns and still keep them madly in love with each other, even during the worst of times. Hudsons Crossing will only reinforce what her fans already know; she has her finger on the pulse of love. Indy Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Bi-Coastal Loving,
By
This review is from: Hudsons Crossing (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Have you ever been in a long-distance relationship? Then you know how exciting it is in the beginning; jetting off to each other's state of residence, enjoying the special time spent together, looking forward to seeing each other on the next planned trip, and anticipating other modes of communication in between. But how long does it take before jet lag is no longer an option, and seeing the other person where they live is no longer fun? Altonya Washington's Hudson's Crossing just might be the exception to the rule.When Asher Hudson invited Riley Stamper to Phoenix, to discuss the news article she had written about his lucrative sports agency that could have put him out of business, she was not prepared for her immediate attraction to him. Although Riley stood behind her work and was adamant about not changing a word, it did not stop the sparks from flying and a romance to ensue, with trips between New York and Phoenix in their immediate futures. What was tolerable in the beginning of the relationship became unbearable, especially for Asher. Marrying Riley seemed to be the answer, and Asher believed the nuptials would cause Riley to choose to move `home' with him. The attraction and the sparks remained, but the bi-coastal living put a serious strain on the marriage, and things were said and done that would cause most couples to walk away. Will Riley and Asher decide where home should be, or will they eventually walk away from true love separated by miles, ego and pride? Perhaps they will find the answer that has been lying between them all the time. I enjoyed Hudsons Crossing because of the intense love between the characters, especially Asher, who was determined to have his wife with him at all times. I recommend this book to everyone who loves romance stories with an old-fashioned touch. Review by Sharel E. Gordon-Love APOOO BookClub

A Wonderful Crossing,
This review is from: Hudsons Crossing (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Riley and Ashher had a instant attraction leaving them both wondering if it was love or lust. There were problems along the way as in any marriage but they worked it out and had the loving support and friends and family. Would love a follow up story for Misha and Talib.
