About this listen

Amazon’s #1 Most Unputdownable Book of the Year.

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.

A Washington Post bestseller.

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story of secondhand hearts and second chances...

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...

Critic reviews

“Keeland and Ward double team on this sweet, funny contemporary.... Excellent escapist fodder.” (Publishers Weekly)

Hate Notes is fun, steamy, emotional, and quite the slow burn.” (Harlequin Junkie)

“A must-read.... I knew Hate Notes would be an engaging, funny, and seriously sexy romance, and it is. What I didn’t expect was the powerfully delivered, emotionally impactful and memorable storyline that resonated and moved me.” (USA Today’s Happy Ever After)

Funny, Sweet and Sexy

The Narrations by Sebastian York and Lyn Barrington were great I really love how the brought each character to life, making us feel every emotion the characters were feeling and living at that moment as well as the narration for the secondary characters.. overall their work was amazing.. looking forward to hearing more of their narrations..

..........................

Hate Notes was a light, fun read, with great characters and a great story that will keep you hooked until the end..

Charlotte was trying to build her life again, after such a hard breakup but she wasn't prepared for the changes were about to happen, not only she spends hours spilling her gut to a stranger in the middle of a bathroom, about her life and bad luck with men. but also she meets the love of her life without even knowing where was life going to take them..

-' I'd joked about Charlotte Darling and her pixie dust. There was always something magical about her, the way she'd just appeared in my life and turned it upside down.'

Reed was so invested in his career that he wasn't looking for anything formal, his past keeps trying to stop him from anything that made him feel happy.. he just wants to focus on what's important but life has other plans for him and sooner or later someone special will change him forever.

-' You're beyond my wildest dreams. My love for you is infinite. You. Are. Everything.'

I laugh a lot with Charlotte, I love that she was strong and she didn't take anything from Reed or anybody, she always stood her ground and made everybody know how she was feeling. she was bold and didn't hesitate to talk about her feelings and that's exactly what made it impossible to stay out of her side.

-' Love wasn’t about a beautiful dress, a note, or even poignant words. It was about being with someone through thick and thin, about seeing them through not only the best moments of life but also the worst.'

Overall the story was great, I laugh so much and cry with Reed's stubbornness more like I wanted to bring some sense to him.. I love the relationship and bond Iris and Charlotte have, it was really nice to see Iris supporting and helping to make possible something she knew was meant to be.. I also loved the changes of Reed character, in the beginning, he shows us a side of him that it felt cold but as the story goes, we get to see the real Reed, a romantic gentleman that was hiding all his love.

Get ready for a great ride..

Beautiful Story

What a heartfelt story. This story is so realistic and that’s what makes it so beautiful. I don’t mean realistic as in the way they met or the setting of the book, but the situations the characters are in and the struggles they go through. Not so often are there books in this genre that you feel that the characters experience real love, and by real I mean the love that normal people like you and I experience. The characters will stick with you long after the book is over, and the story is sure to leave your heartstrings tugged.

Funny but beautiful story

There is nothing this author duo could ever write that wouldn’t turn out to be fabulous! Vi and Penelope together are magic! Another fantastic book by the two of them! I loved every single bit of it!
And add Sebastian York’s narration into the mix and it takes it to a whole other level! He just has the dang sexiest voice!! I enjoyed Lynn Barrington too. But she just sounded a little whiny or exasperated through it. She did a good job, but her “male voice” just wasn’t working for me. But overall, thoroughly enjoyable.
