About The Book:
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 . . .

Excerpt:
Grabbing my laptop, I searched my history and called up the last website I’d visited.
Eastwood Properties is one of the largest independent brokerage firms in the world. We connect the most prestigious and exclusive properties with qualified buyers, assuring the utmost privacy for both parties. Whether you’re in the market for a luxury New York City penthouse with a view of the park, a waterfront Hampton estate, or an enchanting chateau escape in the mountains, or you’re ready for your own private island, Eastwood is where your dreams begin.
There was a link to search properties, so I typed in the name of the place the woman had mentioned in the voice mail: Millennium Tower. Sure enough, the penthouse popped up for sale. For only twelve million dollars, I could own an apartment on Columbus Avenue with sweeping views of Central Park. Let me write you a check.
After drooling through a video and two dozen photos, I clicked on the button to make an appointment to view the property. An application popped up, the top of which read: For the privacy and safety of our sellers, all prospective buyers are required to complete an application to view properties. Only buyers that meet our stringent pre-qualification criteria will be contacted.
I snorted. Great pre-qualification criteria you have there, Eastwood. I wasn’t sure I had enough money to take the train uptown to get to that swanky place, much less buy it. God knows what I’d written that had qualified me.
I closed the website and was just about to shut my laptop and go back to bed again when I decided to take one more peek at Mr. Romantic on Facebook.
God, he was gorgeous.
What if . . .
I shouldn’t.
No good ever came out of ideas formulated while drunk.
I couldn’t.
But . . .
That face . . .
And that note.
So romantic. So beautiful.
Plus . . . I’d never seen the inside of a twelve-million-dollar penthouse.
I really shouldn’t.
Then again . . . I’d spent the last two years doing everything I should do. And where had that gotten me?
Right here. It’d gotten me right damn here—hungover and unemployed, sitting in this crappy apartment. Maybe it was time I did the things I shouldn’t be doing for a change. I picked up my phone and let my finger hover over the “Call Back” button for a while.
Screw it.
No one would ever know. It could be fun—getting all dressed up and playing the part of a rich Upper West Sider while satisfying my curiosity about the man. What harm was there?
None that I could think of. Still, you know what they say about curiosity . . .
I pressed “Call Back.”
“Hi. This is Charlotte Darling calling to confirm an appointment with Reed Eastwood...”
My Review:
Hate Notes by Vi KeelandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hate Notes by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward is a contemporary standalone romance that is guaranteed to hit you in your feels and leave you aching even wth the happily ever after. Well-written and well-paced this is another fabulous release from two of my favorite authors.
Charlotte is a wonderful character. She embraces her crazy (mostly) and is learning to find herself again after realizing she changed too much to be who her cheating ex-fiancé wanted her to be. In a moment of crazy she finds herself with someone else's wedding dress and the most beautiful love note that is stitched inside. Having just discovered her ex is now engaged again to someone who could be her sister and with her very same engagement ring she gets drunk and starts chasing down the writer of the love note. Fast forward to a tour of a penthouse suite, an awkward encounter and an embarrassing cry-fest in the bathroom and Charlotte's life is about to get even more interesting.
Reed Eastwood is as opposite of what Charlotte imagined as he could possibly be. Expecting the author of such a beautiful and sentimental letter to exude those characteristics in public she is disappointed when he is icy instead of warm, sarcastic instead of reverent, and an absolute beast, albeit a very beautifully masculine one. But Reed has his reasons and they run deep and it seems like nothing can break or bend this man away from his isolation - but Charlotte is starting to see some of his façade crack and the more she gets a peek of the more interested she is in learning more.
An epic push-pull of emotions between two wonderful characters and I dare you to love this story! Enjoy!
