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… 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…

Wonderful slow burn romance with plenty of enemies to lovers to make any reader stay up until the wee hours to finish. As always Kleeland and Ward hit it out of the park!
You can’t go wrong with this duo!
I LOVE enemies to lovers romances, and Vi and Penelope nailed it with Hate Notes! All that slow burn and sexual tension. Delicious! Grab it now!
Who doesn’t love a slow-burn romance? Hate Notes had everything I wanted and so much more I didn’t expect! It’s a definite one-click for me.
Two great authors and one truly beautiful love story. Charlotte and Reed have this dynamic relationship that will leave you with the true meaning of sparks flying. I absolutely loved this read!!!
I absolutely love an enemies to lovers story!
Enchanting slow burn romance! SWOON!!
Something wonderfully different from this duo, a very romantic novel with a unique premise!
I absolutely adore Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s romances and HATE NOTES is no exception. An enchanting slow burn with loads of sexual tension! An automatic one click for me!
A modern twist on the old boss/secretary trope but OMG it was so much more than that! I was literally laughing out loud at one point and sobbing at another. Amazing!
Can’t go wrong with a Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland book! I can’t believe it’s finally live! GO GRAB IT
Undeniable Love
There is such depth of feelings in here, described perfectly, it was like I had a front row seat as it all unfolded.
Starting out lighter, I never dreamed it would take the turn it did. My heart and throat still feel the effects of my emotions as I read this.
Charlotte and Reed had both been burned, luckily as it turned out. These two had a quirky start which continued into a unique non relationship. She pushed his buttons, crumbled his walls in such a sweet, yet sassy way, he couldn’t help but fall for her, even tho she exasperated him half the time. Her light to his darkness is what I felt. I am not giving anything away, but this gets super emotional so prepare for the rollercoaster-heck of a ride.
The epilogue still makes me tear up with happiness. Years of undeniable and unconditional Love, yet I feel a tiny bit of sadness, not for what has been, but what yet may come.
I loved this!!
I love angst and tension – love love LOVE it! – I love the slow burn and the teasing. I love the enemies to lovers story. It’s unexpected and a five-star read. You’re going to love it too!
Any book by these two is pure romance gold.
Enemies to lovers with sizzling sexual tension??? YES PLEASE.
I’ve been on a major non-fiction reading kick the past few days, but when I see that Vi and Penelope have a new release I have to literally drop everything and binge on some sexy goodness from them. I loved this book. Stop what you are doing and read!
I loved this book so much. The characters were wonderful and very relatable. Quirky Charlotte Darling was as darling as her name. Haunted Reid was hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. I listened to this one while exercising and found myself extending my walks for another 1000 steps just to find out what happened next. A very fresh take on an old theme. Is it better to love even if you know you might lose the person?
I always try to brace myself for the flow of awesomeness but I always get so wrapped up in the story it’s impossible to put a wall between you and the characters feelings, experiences, and love.
I fell hard. So hard for the enigmatic man that seemed to only want to be left alone.I couldn’t help but be taken in by his bowties (previously a deterant for sexy thoughts). I wanted to run my hands through his hair and find ways to make him focus on me. So basically, I threw Charlotte to the curb and took her place!
But it wasnt me…its them! Their journey/love is everything a hopeless romantic dreams of. We embrace the wonderful, love through the hard, and pray for it all. Ward and Keeland always deliver. But I think this time they out did themselves.
Reed is everything. Everything.
A new slow burn, enemies-to-lovers from Vi and Penelope — the most magical combination!
A breath of fresh air! Totally loved Charlotte and Reed’s story! It made me both smiley-faced and teary-eyed. What a beautiful epilogue attesting to the power and magic of true love. Highly recommend this gem by two of my favorite authors.
