review 1: Best Served Cold by Tawdra Kandle was a quick enjoyable read. This book has a winning combo with lovable characters and a page-turning storyline. It was easy to get pulled in by this story. What does a girl do when she gets her heart broken? She plots REVENGE! Julia got dumped in front of all her friends and she never saw it coming. A few weeks after the events, she can't let go of what Liam did to her. One thing she knows for sure, she won't let him get away with it. With the help of her best friend Ava and an unexpected ally, she sets her revenge plan into motion. What she never expected was to meet Jesse. Her heart starts to beat again once Jesse enters her life. Revenge is still in her plans, but starting this journey with Jesse by her side might just make her forget ... moreabout it.I liked that Julia wrote about what happened to her. With that page dedicated to her story and the ones of others that suffered the same thing, she realized that there are two sides to every story and that revenge might not be what is best at the end of the day. I think she learned a great deal from her project. Jesse and his irresistible dimples stole the spotlight for me! He was sweet and sexy. Julia and Jesse have a nice chemistry together, but I wish there would have been more of a buildup. Things happened a bit to fast between them. I really liked this book. It was the perfect escape. Even if the beginning was slow-paced for me, I found myself enjoying the book more towards the 50% mark. Everything seemed to fall into place and from that moment, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The storyline surprised me! The author included a twist that I never saw coming, which left me a bit confused. I can't really mention what it's about, but i'm extremely curious to find out what's going to happen in the next book. This book does not leave us with a cliffhanger for the main couple, but it did leave me at the edge of my seat.I give Best Served Cold by Tawdra Kandle 4 lovely and flirtatious stars! If you are looking for a quick read with an interesting twist and enjoyable characters, this is the book for you! review 2: Best Served Cold was a decent read. The characters had lots of potential. I quite like jesse the male m/c but also kept thinking there was going to be some big scene with him. He was also was very much the gentlemen with the perfect amount of hotness but I also felt that his personality could have been developed so much more. I just wanted more from him. He is definitely book boyfriend worthy.The female m/c Julia- so the whole concept of Best Served Cold is based around how she is feeling after a bad break up. There should have been more fire to her. We saw blips of this that were great. I did like that she did not go all crazy stalker b***h though. The secondary characters were just as fun and real. They bring back memories of college days. I would really like to see Giff's story.Overall the story was well written. There weren't any gaping holes or missing pieces. I did feel though that the parts that were there, could have been layered more and built up. It would have been interesting to see what Liam thought of the blog that Julia set up. I would have also been intrigued to see more interaction between characters regarding the blog posts.Best Served Cold is a quick and easy read. The characters are likeable and relatable. The story was an excellent premise that I really would have liked to see it expanded more. There is a second book coming later in 2014. I look forward to seeing where Tawdra Kandle goes with the next story in this series. This would be a great book to get past a book hangover.D3.5/5 less
