This is a fun, sexy, addition to this enemy-to-lover-themed series. The plot is predictable, but am I reading it for novelty of plot? No. I'm reading it for smut and laughs entertainment and it checks all the boxes in those categories.

Riley Hewitt and Anson Black have been rivals ever since grade school. From one competition to the next, the only guarantee is that they will be the last two competitors standing. Until Anson left their hometown and their feud finally fizzled out. But now Anson is back... for good... and he only has one thing he wants to win this time around...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Served Sweet was an insanely hot and highly entertaining story. Riley and Anson's lifelong rivalry is about to get an extra serving of HEAT from their long-overdue sexual tension and the attraction that they have successfully hidden from each other... until now. 

I really enjoyed this story! The sexual escapades between Riley and Anson were off the charts spicy and adventurous. And while I loved their sexual connection and their interaction with each other, their relationship stalled a little when their old hangups continue to affect their everyday lives. But with some well meaning meddling and a group of friends who have already had their turn at the relationship drama, Riley and Anson may just get to travel the easiest road to full-blown relationship yet... or not...

This book was by far my favorite of the series, I felt like all of the characters from the past books were finally in a place where they could be a little likable and move past their petty past ways of dealing with each other. I liked Riley and Anson from the beginning and I feel like their ultra sexy story was the perfect way to end this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

I haven't read the first two books in the series so I had no idea about the characters but that definitely didn't take away my enjoyment of this book.

The chemistry between the main characters was off the charts hot & I loved the banter between the friendship group. Great story & likeable characters, will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author

The third installment of the series was on par with the first two. Again a good, quick, standard romance story with likable characters and some hot scenes.

Received an ARC at cost to author..this is the last book in the revenge series, it is finslly Anson and Riley. We two people who are type A, we get sparks, so don't stand to close....Enjoy!!!! take their type A personalities to the extreme with binges of smoldering lust and years of aggressive rivalry.

I have just loved this series and all the characters but I have to admit I think this is my favorite.I just loved Anson he is so blunt and to the point, while it does appear that he brags a lot, in reality, he is just telling the truth I found it really sweet that he was awkward.The chemistry between him and Riley was off the charts and just like his cousin Dex he is a dirty boy.A super read and a fantastic end to the series I would recommend this one to all

Riley Hewitt runs a successful bakery and is quite happy with her life. That is until her grade school rival, Anson Black moves back to town. Anson decides to open a new restaurant right next door to a Riley's bakery. Once they see each other the competitive feelings pick up right where they left off. Is it possible that it's more than competitiveness that they feel? This is a great read and the third book in the served trilogy.

I voluntarily read an advanced reviewers copy of this book

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the back and forth between the couple. Riley for some reason believes that Anson is her nemesis and has spent his life trying to make her look bad...when in reality that is really far from the truth!

Anson has spent his life trying to prove to Riley that he is the one that she should want but for some unknown reason he has always felt like she has hated his guts.

With no other options Anson decides to play his trump card and put his restaurant right next to hers. Perfect plan right? Read and find out!

I had my doubts about Anson. In the previous two books, he would pop into the stories so full of himself. He has a competition going with Riley that dates far back to high school, always one upping her. I wasn’t sure how he was going to win her over with that kind of attitude.

I gotta admit I just couldn’t figure Anson out until about the middle of the book. I realized that yes, he’s conceited and talks himself up too much but his heart is not vain. He is truly gifted and has had parents that are so sure of him that failure just isn’t an option to him. He works hard, he studies hard and in a misguided way, thought his bragging would help him impress the girl he’s always wanted.

Anson and Riley really were a perfect match. Little did he know he was his own worst enemy in showing Riley how good they could be together. This was one of those stories were you start out not really liking the Hero’s character only to end up loving who he really is once Riley gets past all the bull.

This Best Revenge series has been an entertaining, low angst read. I would recommend this to anyone that just wants a shorter fun book to read. ARC provided by NetGalley.

Be careful what you wish for, cause there may be more in store than you bargained for. Ms. Harte turns good advice into naughty fun. Served Sweet is Marie Harte at her most sizzling. The competition is fierce but the attraction is smokin'. Anson and Riley take their type A personalities to the extreme with binges of smoldering lust and years of aggressive rivalry. Who will come out the victor? Or will they both lose in the end? Five alarm chili has nothing on Anson and Riley.

The last in the series and probably my favorite. Riley and Anson were competitors all through school and now that he’s decided to build a restaurant next door to her bakery it looks like the competition is continuing. When Riley presents a way for them to find closure, and bragging rights, to their lifelong contest Anson agrees but only on one condition. They are going to push the limits in every way imaginable.

This is one hot steamy read with some light bdsm elements and I loved every thing about this couple. Anson, whose ego is extreme, is good at everything he does. And he doesn’t hesitate to let everyone know it. I loved how that played into his character development because normally that type of hero can be tiring and overdone. Instead, my heart actually hurt for him.

Riley wasn’t shy about going for what she wanted and she pushes him to a place where their issues have to be resolved or their relationship is forfeited. I liked that this wasn’t about her skin color, or how she grew up, but about working hard for what you want in life and then grabbing on with both hands when it was within sight.

Overall, this has been a very enjoyable series with lots of fun, smexy times and engaging characters.

Served sweet is an ARC for receivedfrom netgalley and publisher to give a honest review.
This is a throughly enjoyable read. Riley owns a bakery and her long term enemy/ rival Anson is opening a restaurant right next door to her. She has always been a high achiever and since school has tried to outdo Anson in everything from athletics to exam results, never quite piping him to the post she is fed up with his smug overbearing ways.
Anson has had a gilded life, everything always appears to come easily to him, but that's not without his hard work and absolute terror of ever failing at anything. He's always lusted after Riley and means to show her how good they would be together.
There are some really good funny moments and fireworks abound when there relationship gathers pace, the sex scenes are amazing!
Fortunately for me I see there are two previous books in this series, can't wait to read them after this wonderful story.

“Anson, Anson. Scared of me already”
“Scared? Try terrified”
I’m still much more in love with Dex than with Anson, but he is my second choice, last is Jack. If Anson learned to knit in order to win Riley then he is a keeper. Most men don’t even want to pick up their plates of the table after eating dinner.

Not as good as book two, but not as bad as book one. Mediocre series at best.
