Synopsis for Hate Mail (from Goodreads):

In the Wakemont family, it's tradition to arrange a marriage before the ink is dry on your birth certificate. I was five hours old when my father promised me to the son of a man with "more money than God."

As we grew older, my future groom and I were encouraged to exchange "love letters" to get better acquainted—except the correspondence he sent read more like hate mail.

Slade Delacorte hated the arrangement.

But more than that, he hated me.

He was moody, intense, arrogant, and darkly gorgeous. A villain—not a prince. The last man on earth I'd ever marry (if I had the choice).

On my 24th birthday, we exchanged vows in front of six hundred guests who had no idea we weren't every bit the blissful couple we pretended to be.

But as we began our new life together, I soon learned there was only one thing worse than marrying the man I'd hated my entire falling in love with him.

thoughts

Why I Picked it Up / My Expectations:

I love a good "hate to love" you romance and when I read the overview for this series, I couldn't wait to see what Winter had in store!

The Concept / The World:

The novels are loosely connected by the heroines' friends group but you can read all these stories independently. The main connector is simply the idea of letters or notes or messages being a catalyst for the romance in each of the novels.

The Plot:

I had some hits and misses with the plot in this series. In Hate Mail (#1), I didn't love the final twist; I thought it was a little unnecessary and didn't really add anything to the story other than melodrama. In Yours Cruelly (#2), I felt like the synopsis was slightly misleading. It made me think something that the pregnancy mentioned in the synopsis was the main focus of the story when it really doesn't come into play until way later in the novel (I think it should have been left as a mystery to the reader). Dear Stranger (#3) was a perfect hit.

But each story has a some great little twists along the way to keep things interesting and I never really lost interest in any of these stories.

The Characters:

Overall, I really liked all these characters. I thought each of our leads had great depth and dimension to them. I want to see my characters evolve as the story and plot develops and I think that is achieved here.

The Romance:

All of these stories have explosive chemistry from the start but a slow burn when it comes to the deeper feelings. I loved that! I had so much fun watching the leads slowly peel back the layers and realize that the other person is their perfect match.

Series Rating: 4/5

Hate Mail 4/5 | Yours Cruelly 3/5 | Dear Stranger 5/5

overall

If you want a fast-paced, hate to love you romance, I think this series would be worth your time!

Read if You Like: standalone romances, drama, hate to love you
Avoid if You: dislike contemporary romances
