Best Served Cold is what I’d call a fresh take on a classic story. Liam humiliates Julia “Jules” by showing up at a surprise party she’s throwing him with another girl. He somehow forgot to mention that he was breaking up with Julia after 10 months of being together. Julia decides she wants revenge.Oh, but in walks Jesse. And, well, Jesse’s just perfect. VERY PERFECT! I mean, if I had one complaint about the book, it would be to give him some sort of fault – just to make him seem more real. Anyhow, Julia has to decide if she wants Jesse, or if she wants revenge, or if she can juggle them both. To make matters worse, Ava, her roommate and bff, is acting funny and it has something to do with Liam.I really enjoyed this fast-paced fun and super sweet NA romance. It does have some strong language, but not excessive, and sexual content, but again, it’s not something that takes up the bulk of the story for those not into that. I especially liked that there wasn’t a rush to sex in Jesse & Jules relationship. It really added to the overall sweetness that was Jesse. But, you could also see him struggle with it, so as not to take away the fact that he was all male.I really like Julia’s character, and getting to see her mature. Her character was easy to relate to, and I never found myself questioning her. She was believable. I also really, really liked Jesse. Who would not fall in love with Jesse? I certainly don’t know. He was just – perfect. I even loved his adorable little brother, too. Then there was Liam’s roommate Giff that was a lot of fun. I thought all of the characters were well-developed and displayed unique personalities.I’d recommend this book to anyone into NA romances! I’m really looking forward to Ava’s story coming up – Just Desserts. I’d also love to see more of Jules & Jesse’s story. I’d be interested in seeing how things work out with Jesse’s jealous mother and his sister. Maybe this will be addressed in Ava’s story? Either way, I look forward to more!4 STARS!!!!*I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
