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)

Little blue stick it!

I loved the book it wasn’t as predictable as some others. The only thing that was off putting was Lynn’s the narrators voice it was very robotic

Left me with all kinds of feelings

Oh my goodness - was not expecting that. Sucks you in right from the start. I loved all the characters the banter the angst. My only negative was that it was repetitive in parts - retelling the whole, same thing, to another character but that being said I still read it in one sitting - so I pulled an all nighter . This book left me with all kinds of feelings, moves your heart. Feeling happy but sad, it keeps playing in my head.🥲

Male narrator not great

The story was ok but a bit predictable and couldn’t help but compare certain aspects to the original 50 Fifty Shades. Wasn’t keen on the male Narrator, his voice to me didn’t fit the character. His voice seemed to fit more for a Texas cowboy not a New York real estate agent. And his lack of expression and monotone drawl was a bit lack lustre to listen to.

Fantastic! 🥰

This book was freaking amazing! I am seriously left speechless after this story. There are no meaningless scenes in this, and your emotions will most certainly go wild. The narration in this was absolutely amazing, definitely completing the story in an amazing way. I have always loved books written by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, and this did not disappoint, the writing was so amazing and left me feeling so full and happy at the end. If these types of stories are a book you enjoy, then this is definitely a book I would recommend. I loved reading/listening to this and hope you do too. Enjoy!

Love note

I loved everything about this audiobook! Great narrators, great characters, great story, great messages, empowerment for life. I rarely leave a review but I wanted to add my voice.

There were a few reviews from naysayers and I could have been put off by them. I’d love to know what stories meet their higher standards.
