Three Chicks and Their Books: Release Blitz: Hate Notes by Vi Keeland and 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, sweet-er, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined.

Something new.

But I have no idea how this one is going to end . . .

5 Stars!!
Review by Lisa Kane

I have read everything from Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Both their individual stories and those they've written together. But Hate Notes...this is one story that will stay with me for a long, long time. I can't imagine that they will write anything that can top this for me.

Charlotte Darling is browsing through the racks of a second hand wedding store. She has her own gorgeous wedding dress, but that's never going to see the light of day on her body. Not since she saw Todd and a co-worker bobbing for apples with her under his desk. Of course he protested that he would do anything to get her back...his efforts lasted a couple of weeks. Charlotte not only lost her fiance, but her job. He was her boss's boss and she wasn't going to keep working there. But she does have a dress she wants to get rid of-

She can't get cash for her dress, only credit. When she spies a gorgeous gown with feathers (yes feathers!) in a bluish tone she feels compelled to try it on. If only she could get the zipper up. But wait, what's this sewn into the dress. It's a note on blue stationery, at the top From the Desk of Reed Eastwood is embossed.

To Allison-
"She said, 'Forgive me for being a dreamer,' and he took her by the hand and replied, 'Forgive me for not being here sooner to dream with you.'"-J. Iron Word
Thank you for making all my dreams come true.
Your love,
Reed.

That dress and that note are going to change lives.

Turns out Charlotte exchanged the dress for hers, saw Todd's engagement announcement on social media (!) and stalked Reed Eastwood. He's gorgeous, wealthy and is the king of real estate. A bottle of wine later and Charlotte has an appointment to view one of his multi million dollar listings. She figures she has nothing to lose and maybe she can meet the most romantic man in the world. He's no fool, he's had her checked out and he's going to read her the riot act for wasting his time.

Reed Eastwood is arrogant and mean.

"It would be a dream, nothing I'll ever really get to live. So sue me for being a dreamer, Eastwood."

A crying jag in the ladie's room leads to a meeting with Iris, a rich woman with a sympathetic ear, which leads to a dream job opportunity. Which leads to Iris' grandson, Reed.

That gives you the background of how they met, and why they have a little history before working together. Charlotte is now Iris's assistant. And Reed's. Oh boy, oil meet vinegar.

Why didn't Allison marry Reed? Why is this gorgeous man have so many walls up? Why can't Charlotte get him out of her head?

There is so much to this story. There are some parts that reduced me to a snotty, red eyed mess. The dialogue is so well written and the banter between them is witty and unique and so spot on. I devoured this story. And when all my questions were answered and all the pages (I had an actual paper copy with pages I could smell and feel and turn!) were flipped, it was a bitter sweet moment. When you get to the last chapter, you'll see why I chose bitter sweet. And I was ok with that. Life is messy and has twists and turns that aren't always pretty, but shape the journeys of our lives. The fact that the authors chose to leave in the ugly with the beautiful only adds to this story!

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