Maya and Dex have a complicated history. Back in high school, Dex blackmailed Maya to get her to go to prom with him. Which, of course, was a problem for Maya. Fast-forward 12 years later and Dex is back in town and Maya has never forgotten his manipulation. Except, Dex has always held a spot in Maya’s heart, whether she admits it or not and Maya has been the only one for Dex. Now that he’s back in Bend, it’s time for them to stop avoiding each other. Let the games begin!
Served Hot is a steamy story filled with great characters and a lot of sex. The chemistry between Maya and Dex is off the charts, believable, and rolls between them in waves. Unfortunately, the past history rears its ugly head, mostly in the form of Selena Thorpe, and Maya jumps to incorrect conclusions. Dex and Maya’s story is about lost love, redemption, and facing your past before you can live in the present, or look forward to the future. Maya has baggage and Served Hot forces her to face her past head-on. Emotional is an understatement about this book.
All of the characters from book 1 are back. Ann and Riley are supportive of Maya but don’t hesitate to call her out when necessary. Jack and Anson fulfill their roles, as necessary. All 6 characters are likable and written well. Another great story in the Best Revenge trilogy.
4 Stars
Served Hot is the second title in the Best Revenge series.
Maya hides a vulnerability and abandonment issues behind a brash, feisty, confrontational, touch exterior.
Dex is a sweet, kind, fun and determined man, who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. A former geek, and marine, who grew into his rock hard, sexy body.
This pair are entertaining, their banter is antagonistic, flirtatious, argumentative, fun and full of wit and playful humor.
Overall this is a steamy, passionate, sensual and erotic romance with flawed, yet engaging characters.
Dexter Black has arrived back in town with a mission… to win the heart of the woman who captured his back in high school. Only problem is that back then she didn’t know him as anything more than the geeky boy who tricked her into being his date for prom.. but things have changed, and he is not that boy anymore. The man he has grown into has an arsenal of skills he honed in the Marine Corps., and he isn’t afraid to use every last one of them to complete the mission!
Anytime Dexter Black is mentioned Maya Werner she thinks of the geeky high school boy who blackmailed her into being his prom date. And while she had a little fun, she has never forgotten someone getting one up on her, it irks her still to this day, and she’d love to exact a little revenge… if only she had the chance!
Served Hot is a very sexy and captivating story that will satisfy all your reading needs and leave you tempted to learn more about the other characters in this series! From the moment I started this one it had me hooked, there is nothing like a scorned woman looking for a little revenge, and a dedicated man determined to win the heart of the woman he loves… translation serious fireworks!! Loved this one, it had heat, humor, sass, and a whole of lot heart! Highly recommend you get your hands on this one, you will not be disappointed with what you find!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.
Authentic, realistic and lovable. Served Hot has two of the most well written characters, I’ve come across. Maya is a pistol. She is not afraid to be who she is. Even in the most emotional moments of her life. She takes life in all of it’s glory and pain and makes it her greatest achievement. I love that about her. Dex is the opposite. He knows what he wants, but has to make himself take risks and work toward his goal. They bring out the best in each other, despite the fiasco of how they began. Served Hot is my favorite Marie Harte novels. She dares to speak a truth that we all know, but fail to acknowledge. Love is not about perfection. It’s about accepting the flaws they make us who we are and looking beyond them.
