Benji Caulfield’s life is going suspiciously well. He has money, a thriving sex life and a gorgeous billionaire sugar daddy who wants to marry him…
So why does he feel like everything is about to come crashing down?
Noah Stern has spent his whole life looking for someone like Benji. Now he just has to convince Benji to accept his hand.
Will they make it down the aisle? Or will Benji finally bow out for good?
Melted Candy is book 3 in a high-heat MM romance trilogy featuring a closed-off sugar baby and the billionaire sugar daddy who takes down his emotional walls. Swoony romance and hot, heartwarming BDSM guaranteed.
This trilogy really didn’t need to be a trilogy and it suffered for it. Could have been a lot more enjoyable had it been tightened up, lost some of the angst, and combined into one book. Sigh.😔
“I know I’m being selfish and intense and too much, but god, Benji. I could make you so happy. Please let me.”
I read this as a backer of the Kickstarter campaign.
Melted Candy concludes Benji and Noah's sugar baby romance. It was sweet and spicy, continuing to address Benji's ongoing insecurities about being with Noah for the long haul. This final installment was a little shorter than the other 2 books, it addressed the last cliffhanger from Salted Candy pretty fast along the other issues involving Noah's brother. The drama was there but I felt like it didn't hit as hard (not that the first two books were very angsty at all but this last one just felt lighter). Overall a cute, spicy HEA, just wish it lasted a little longer or dived a little deeper. 4⭐️ 3.5 🌶
This is just like the Vanilla Baby trilogy by Jett Masterson. I mean, I knew it—that’s why I read it. I thought it would feel like re-reading it without actually re-reading it, you know what I mean?
I loved Max and Benji’s dynamic. I loved Noah’s sense of humor. I didn’t love the best friends—Daph and Tia were just… meh. I hated Michael and Dillon, and not because they were the villains, but because they were so lame and made no sense. .... Chet.......really???
If you want sugar-baby vibes, go read Vanilla Baby. Aaaaand it’s an omegaverse 😉

I enjoyed this final installment, but continue to stand by the fact this probably would have worked better all as one book rather than a trilogy. It was one overarching story, and all of them were fairly short. Since I got to read them all in a row anyway it didn’t particularly matter for my experience, but was probably pretty frustrating for people when they had to wait for the next release.
I still love all the main characters in these books. I did wish we could have got a bit of a deeper relationship between Max and Benji. Max was around more in this book which was nice, but I would have liked for him and Benji to have had some more serious conversations. Especially with everything that was happening in this book. I understand that would be hard for Benji, but it felt necessary and would have been good for character and relationship development.
I enjoyed the book quite a bit despite this though. I was very happy when Benji decided to let himself believe good things could happen and to let himself have what he wanted even if it did end someday. I also loved how Max and Noah’s relationship developed. They were very sweet and it was nice to see Max get some more stability.
I did enjoy this installment the least of the series, but I was smiling like wild by the time I finished it.
