Best Served Cold Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 596 ratings

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Which is a real problem when the attraction runs red-hot.Trust me. I know. The only reason I decided to renovate my family’s ice-cream store was to serve up a sundae full of revenge for my a-hole ex who opened an ice-cream store right next to mine.It was supposed to be simple. Renovate. Reopen. Put his peachy butt out of business.Until he decided to get under my skin—and broke my toe. Now, I’m stuck with Chase in my store every day, helping me renovate. But he’s also in my head, and I’m spending a little too much time up against his abs.Not that it’s the worst place to be. But it doesn’t change anything. I still hate him, and I’m still going to get my revenge.Right?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Emma Hart, has written more than seventy romance novels in the last decade. She loves writing snarky, swoony romcoms with a side of chaos, occasionally venturing into romantic mysteries. Which are exactly the same as her romcoms, just with a dead body or two. That’s the reason for her questionable Internet history—at least that’s the story she’s sticking to.

She lives on a smallholding in North Wales with her husband and their two children, a clowder of very fluffy cats, one giant German Shepherd, and an undisclosed number of chickens and ducks. Don’t ask her to count them. She will not, thank you very much.

When she’s not writing or chasing ducks in her pyjamas, you can find her creating cosy gaming content for her Youtube channel and live streaming on Twitch.

Tension-filled and sweet as can be, this new romance from Hart is a treat!
It's time to DISH! I love Emma Hart's books. Hardcore. Filled with snark and sass, her heroines are some of my favorites to read ever. And her heroes...always so swoony and sexy and WHEW! I'm always in for an enemies to lovers romance, but this is one mixed with a second chance romance as well! Tension-filled and sweet as can be, this new romance from Hart is a treat! Raelynn loves her ice cream shop, Best Served Cold, but what its missing is her every dream aspect since the jerk next door opened. Chase was her best friend and boyfriend; she loved him and told him all her dreams of what her shop could become. Until life got in the way and under the pressure she decided a relationship wasn't in the cards for herself. Now, seemingly as revenge, Chase opened an ice cream shop right next door and its got everything she told him her future would hold. Stealing her heart is one thing, but stealing her customers and breaking her heart in the process is nigh unforgivable. Now with a kick in the pants, Raelynn is creating a new look for Best Served Cold filled with magic and wonder. But after two years of ignoring Chase and his stealing ways, now he wants back in. Is it the temptation of Raelynn and her charm or does he just want to win? Chase is an idiot. He knows that and fully admits it to himself. Stealing his girl's idea for an ice cream shop and opening it next door maybe not the best plan to win her back...like at all. But in his defense he just wanted something so drastic that Raelynn would finally talk to him. He hadn't planned on two years of cold, insufferable silence. But now Rae seems to be refreshing her own shop and Chase sees it as a chance to break down her walls once more. Change is good they say. But Rae is going to be hard to crack when she's already heartbroken; and she doesn't even know the truth of why he opened the shop! Figuring his way back in to her heart is going to take more than just romance, it's gunna take guts to admit the truth to the one person he's hurt and risk it all again. Raelynn may just be my new hero. She is sooooo snarky and her attitude towards Chase gives me life. I love that this was not an easy romance. Chase truly has some huge obstacles to overcome that you don't often see in contemporary romances. Hes done something so personally hurtful to Raelynn that even I had a hard time forgiving and i knew why he did it! The push and pull between them is so entertaining; moments of anger mixed with confusion as to memories of their past relationship just makes for good drama. I honestly wasn't sure just how Chase could win back Rae's affections but the slow burn is worth the wait!

    Best Served Cold by Emma Hart is a brand new romantic standalone that is sweet, sexy, all about second chances and revenge that is... Best Served Cold!

    Raelynn Fortune is struggling. her business is failing and it is all because of the competition next door. The competition that opened up right after she broke up with it's owner, Chase Aarons. He not only opened up the store but also stole ALL her ideas. That's okay though, she has a plan for revenge that will have her ice cream shop, aptly names Best Served Cold, that will out him out of business.

    Chase Aarons has been waiting for two years for Rae to speak to him. He opened his store next door just to evoke a reaction, yelling, fighting, cursing... anything! But she hasn't said a peep to him for TWO WHOLE YEARS! When the opportunity to help her with her renovations opens up the door for conversations with Rae he jumps at the opportunity. Now if he can just make her understand that what she sees as the ultimate betrayal, he meant as a way to open communication back up with her.

    Well-paced and well-written, sexy and sweet, real and emotional with wonderful secondary characters this was yet another fabulous book from one of my very favorite authors. Enjoy!

    Ahhhh I love ROM COMS!

    ok first off how about the cover huh? It’s GORGEOUS! All of Emma’s covers are unique, and they match the stories to a T.

    I adored this book. It was so fun and flirty, quirky and adorable. I’m GUSHING over Chase and Raelynn. They have the best kind of banter and love/hate relationship.
    I mean seriously I want to walk into Best served cold just to see them, and taste the magical ice cream. I couldn’t get enough of this story. every argument, every lip bite, every clumsy accident, and every kiss. I just LOVE THIS BOOK!

    With every page I smiled. With every kiss I swooned.
    If you want a book that makes you laugh and smile this is it.
    It’s just such a feel good fun loving ridiculously adorable read.

    Phenomenal writing. Emma always has the best stories. Rom Coms are my favorite and she never disappoints. Also have you seen her covers? I mean seriously she has the MOST UNIQUE AND FUN COVERS EVERRRRR!

    Best Served Cold is one of my absolute favorite books by Emma Chase. The story is about Raelynn Fortune who has inherited the family ice cream parlor and has dreams of updating it to make it "hers." Unfortunately, she shared those ideas with her ex-boyfriend Chase who decided to open his own ice cream shop right next door using her ideas. This makes her so mad, she refuses to talk to him. Chase only wants Raelynn back and finally has the opportunity to make his dream of getting back her love when she finally needs renovations done or lose her shop.
    This book is hilarious, romantic, and everything in between. Take my advise and read it... NOW!

    I liked this story even if some things annoyed me like communication. This was about Raelynn & Chase, it drug on some parts but it was still good. For as much as they both had annoyed the crap out of me at some parts, I still enjoyed this book. To be honest I feel like this story was missing something. I thought they were cute together, especially with fixing up her store. It's hard to leave a spoiler free review but I enjoyed it, even if I didnt enjoy it as much as some of the authors other books. So if you like this author as much as I do then I suggest you read it. Reading this book made me want to just eat ice cream all the time.

    I so love this author! I had planned on a one day reading of this. So so good. Oh the snark, I adore the snark! I ended up with the worst stomach virus. Didnt get my one day read in. Now that Gatorade stayed down I had to finish. Loved it so much. Seriously the whole animal conversation is something that would happen between my husband and me. I think that is why I love her books so much. The characters are either just like yourself or like someone in your life. And the grandparents, ahhhhhh I just love them in each of her books. They are hilarious and ridiculous all in one. They are also so different in each books. Loved everything. Even the kitten's name. I am sad I am done reading it. Amazing book.

    Wow this author...is amazing!!! This story was so fun to read! Loved the characters and the story line 💖

    These characters were my favorite including grandma as well. So funny how much you get into the book that sometimes those other characters are just so fitting into the story that you dint realize till after you’ve finished the book.

    Anyone who grabs this book will love it! I pre- ordered awhile ago and couldn’t wait for it! Don’t miss your chance to read this great story!! #rom #com #perfection

    This is an enjoyable read which I read in a day as I couldn't put it down. It had been languishing on my "To Read" list for a few years (I have a very long list!) but I am very glad that I eventually got round to it. I felt an instant connection to the characters, it had more than a few laugh out loud moments and that wonderful HEA that we all want to see. Perfect!

    Of course Emma Hart‘s newest release is another 5⭐️ read!
    First of all, this cover is absolutely beau-ti-ful!! I love all these pastel colors, fits that book a lot! It doesn’t always have to be a half naked person on it. Just my humble opinion!
    The story of Rae and Chase is an enemy to lover second chance rom com.
    It has so much hurt, anger, sass, love, laugh out loud moments, it’s simply great!
    Rae just speaks her mind, no brain-to-mouth filter, a determined lady who tries to do everything by herself, and Chase is her lovely ex, who tries everything to get her back!
    Loved the book!
    I kindly received an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

    Raelynn and Chase have not spoken for 2 years since she ended their relationship. He has tried his hardest to get her to talk to him, but he may have gone about things the wrong way.

    Raelynn is so mad at Chase, he is clearly trying to ruin her business no matter how sexy he looks she will not let him win.

    When she decides to renovate her ice cream store she knows things will be better, but she is accident prone and
    Chase seems to keep popping up and causing a lot of her accidents then sticking around to help her. He is up to something, but she cannot figure out what.

    Chase is determined to get back what he wants and that is Rae. These two have a hilarious time add in a meddling friend and sister and it makes for a brilliant story.

    I so loved this book, and I finished it in one afternoon reading session. The heroine is determined to invent the best icecream ever, and while doing so, she falls in love again with a guy she left a few years ago. How they fall in love again is cute. But the best thing are the ice cream descriptions ... a fantastic read.
