I am not sure if it's love that they are feeling. Abuse is a cycle that is really hard to break. Love is something healty and kind and there is no love in an abusive relationship. I believe that both parties can care about each other. For the abuser they are in love with the control they have over their partner. As far as the partner is concerned, they have a very low self esteem and feel like the abuser is their whole life and that they cannot make it without them. Both people are co-dependent and it is hard for either of them to end the cycle they have become so used to.
