Literary Misfit: Review: Hate Notes by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

A standalone romance novel published by Montlake Romance

By: New York Times Bestselling Authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Release Date: Tuesday, November 6, 2018

SYNOPSIS:

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed. He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after. But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. It’s getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined. Something new. But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . . Hate Notes final paperback cover

REVIEW

Hate Notes, like most of the books written in collab with both of these authors delivers a story with deep emotion, great banter, humorous moments, and a love that develops more with every turn of the page. This story has it's own fun enemies to lovers twist but it's more than that.

Charlotte is lost in life at the start of the book, getting over a ruined relationship, trying to find a new job and pretty much finding who she is in the now. I loved the beginning of the book, I felt really drawn in to not only knowing more about Charlotte, but also following along as she tries to figure everything out. I was excited where the story would lead me.

Reed has his own haunting past with love. Upon meeting him in the story, I knew there was a lot to discover about who he was at the heart and I couldn't wait to see how things would play out.

When these two meet, it wasn't exactly a cute-meet but it was perfect for them really. In fact though it wasn't quite the pleasant experience one would normally expect there was a distinct connection between them that only grew from that first meeting.

Hate Notes will suck you in with it's unusual start, make you laugh, and pull you in with the explosive chemistry between these two. You will root for them to find their match in each other as you enjoy the interactions leading up to that moment. This story is heartwarming and sweet, while also having that realistic edge.
