Hate Notes

Product Information

Heir and real estate investor Reed Eastwood is equally perplexed my recent events. Torn between irritation, fury and pure unadulterated lust he must deal with his new employee. So Reed, a man of secrets and broken dreams hidden under a blasé façade, does what any sensible man would do he taunts, teases and ridicules her. No no... Griffin writes this when he is 25. I just don’t understand why you would think he was 5, huh, weird! 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. Well, I think that voice notes are lazy. They’re lazy, arrogant and show utter contempt for the person on the receiving end. Reed, of course, has a big secret (not the ex, thank small mercies) that only he must know....leading to a situation where Charlotte all but chased him around like the coyote and the road-runner. Mad props to Char for tenacity, but mehn, that woman needed a dose of self-love.

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. Tired of over-using their thumbs typing up details of that day’s events, people have taken to recording their thoughts and sending unsolicited voice messages to unwitting and unwilling recipients. Like me. Anyway, Ms. Incompetent was embarrassed after being thrown out by the hero (gee, I wonder why) and because she is the heroine, she meets a wonderful old lady who offered her a job because grandma apparently has a good feeling about her. *sighAnd then she meets this amazingly romantic guy who is so not the amazingly romantic guy she wanted him to be. But still ... the sparks are flying. Why does he have to be so mean all the time?! But not really alllll the time? It was funny how sometimes the universe placed something in front of you that was exactly what you needed to see at exactly the right time.” Sebastian York worked great for this, and Lynn Barrington was new to me I think, but I loved her performance.

And before I start sharing quotations from the book, let me clarify something. I first thought I was reading an M/M book as I thought Luca was the guy's name so in case you think the same, let me make it clear that Luca is the heroine, Griffin is the hero. Kudos to awesome choice of names!In addition to all this awesomeness, there is a weird therapist obsessed about birds, many many therapy sessions about agoraphobia, never-ending mourning after the death of her best friend, a glimpse of the sad and lonely life of famous people, fairy tale like coincidences, which all add value to the book. Heat level: Moderate/Low. They have some alright tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story. Definitely a "slow burn" in regards to heat, because they don't even kiss until ~63% and then nothing else until ~85%. I think sometimes it is just the willingness of the reader to let all these circumstances happen and go along for the ride. I decided to go with the flow and mainly enjoyed the read. There were laughs, questions about fate and the idea of whether it is worth loving someone even if it is only for the night, week or forever. As you may have guessed, I am of the school where loving is always a plus and even the pain after does not outweigh the joy you experienced in the time of loving. So, here’s the thing with this book, I HATED the Heroine. Oh my god she is so annoying, rude and there are so many times I thought to myself, who does this? Kadın karakter Charlotte'un istediği şeyin peşinden gitmesini, karşılarına çıkan zorlukların işleniş biçimini beğendim. Kitaptaki sırları bence önceki kitaplarındakilerden daha iyi işlemişlerdi. Boş beleş değildi.
