Best Served Cold

Crimson Club, Book 3

De: Willow Dixon

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Aiden Snow

When the guys at work dare me and the new guy to play a game of gay chicken, I figure I'll get my first kiss and bragging rights for winning.

What I don't expect is for that game to awaken something in me. Something I've never felt before. Something that makes me want more. Makes me want him.

I never back down from a challenge, but that doesn't explain why being with Noah feels so good. Why I can't stop thinking about him. Why he's the only person who's ever stirred even the slightest interest in me. Why getting him off gets me off.

Watching Noah lose control is everything. So is knowing he can't stay away from me, either.

Zane and Noah's story is an animosity to lovers, double bi-awakening romance. Expect public fun, tons of heat, lots of banter, and reluctant feels as these two impulsive and competitive guys realize that in some games, everyone's a winner. It is the third book in the exciting new Crimson Club series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Loved these Guys!

The narration was perfect, Alexander and Aiden did a stellar, amazing, superb job on this one!
The MCs were so broken in their hearts and heads, the animosity in the beginning wasn't a surprise. I wanted to hug them both so many times for all the self doubt they had. I'm so glad they were so good for each other and made their way to their found family and their beautiful HEA!
I've listened to SO many MM books over the last couple years and this is the first one that made me blush during a spice scene! Just so hott!!!!!! I know it's subjective in what people like but this was by far some of the BEST spicy writing I've ever heard! My praise to Mrs Willow, Sir Aiden and Sir Alexander!

LOVED THIS ONE

Love the heartfelt genuine care and chosen family in this one. Definitely hit home in a few ways on a personal level and was nice to hear such a kind and still totally bewilderingly thoughtful and spicy love story 🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait for more! This particular Willow Dixon community surrounding the Crimson Club is one of my favorites to listen to ♥️♥️♥️🥹

banter between characters.

storyline is fun and fast moving. the love story is a bit thin but still imaginable.

Good addition

Love this group of dancers that find the one to them. this story was a bit deeper with one MC dealing with depression and anxiety. Childhood trauma isn't easily written in. this book did a great job of handling it. its a good addition to this series. the narration is great.

My heart!!

The accuracy of mental health… man/. My heart was shattering for Noah.

I love that Zane figured out how to love. How to show up and trust others.. not just others, but Noah specifically.

I love this story so much. I love these characters. They are the best mix of “misfits” that there ever was. Stunning!!

Swoon worthy

This story and adventure touched so many feelings in me. It felt like I was right there with the characters living their journey. I wish I could I continue living in Zane, Noah, and River's history. It feels like I have lost friends and am sad to no longer share in their world. The story is so well written and the characters brought to life with such depth. Thank you for sharing this chronicle of their love with us.

Loved this one too!!

Once again great narration. I hope there’s another in the series soon!

I think the second book was my favorite, but this was a close second!

So Good

This is one of my absolute favorite books by Willow Dixon and the audiobook made it so much better. This is a steamy story about two men battle their separate demons that find comfort in unexpected places.

Loved first half and then it lost me

I love Willow Dixons story telling, characters, and relationship development and love the majority of her books.

The first book in this series is amazing! The 2nd one was not for me. This one started out strong and I thought I was gonna love it nearly as much as book 1, but then it just kind of went downhill for me. It's me, not the book. Just not my jam when 1 of the MCs is needy or more outwardly invested than another. Noah went from cool and composed to a super cringey situation and needy and it just ruined it for me. To be clear, it was not due to the MH challenges, I really love that she makes mental health a topic in her books and accurately portrays it. The changes with how he started being needy and clingy with Z were not attributed to his mental health issues, the doubt, yes, but not the rest.

I still think most will love this and understand the high rating. It just wasn't for me after Noah's character pulled a 180.

Also, a new friend group was kind of brought in and while we still got some hang time with the crimson crew there were alot of scenes with some random friend group who seemed very highschoolish and it just didnt make sense to me. All of those scenes couldve occured with the friend group we already know. It just seemed weird and none of them were interesting.

Narration & monologues

I got this title on sale & for the money I saved, I wasn't terribly disappointed. There are extended monologues that are kind of boring. Due to that, I probably wouldn't have finished the book if I would have tried to read it. Not Aiden's best performance. Alexander's voice got on my nerves - reminded me of the turtle from Finding Nemo. I will be avoiding books narrated by him in the future. Also, this was not read in duet style. Due to those, I almost wish I would have read it instead because I feel like a lot of the story got lost to me when I was grating my teeth.
