Candied Crush #4
Beautifully Stolen
Roman is tired of games. Brett is certain they are playing. One of them is in for a huge surprise.
From the first moment Brett met Roman, he had the man’s number. Roman is beautiful, flirtatious, and completely incapable of being loyal to anyone but himself. Everything about Roman is an act. Under normal circumstances, Brett would find a way to make money from Roman’s natural ability to charm anyone. This one time, he won’t, because there’s just something about Roman that gets under his skin. Brett can’t explain it. He simply knows Roman is trouble. Brett can’t let himself fall for the game.
Roman wants Brett. That’s the truth of things. Since the first time he set eyes on the eccentric ball of energy, Roman has pulled out every weapon in his arsenal to try to win him. Brett isn’t into him at all. That’s a first for Roman. He can’t stop coming back for more of Brett’s special brand of rejection. It’s too sexy to resist.
When Brett invites Roman to be his date for a wedding, Roman knows the invitation is too good to be true. He just can’t figure out Brett’s new angle. That doesn’t mean he intends to miss his chance to get shot down again. After all, he might finally win. Little does Roman know, Brett needs him way more than he could have dreamed, and they’ll both be less if he can’t win.

I loved this gorgeous feel good book.
A hurt/comfort, health healing, forced close proximity, Cinderfella romance with a bit of juicy kink at the end🙃
Brett and Roman, two crumpled gorgeous men , each doubting their ability to be loved, find themselves taking care of each other in an emotional and touching love story. The twists and turns surprised me and nothing went as I thought it would, which is fantastic for a jaded reader like myself😕
I really enjoyed this.
Oh, and omfg that cover!! Exactly what Brett looks like down to the suit✨🌈

I am loving this series. Each novella tale is connected, yet each has it's own story and situations. Wonderful.
Manager/Producer, wealthy Brett, needs a date for Wrecker and Johnny's wedding, so he asks Roman, and they strike a deal.
Roman is 39, a tall, hard bodied dancer in Aspen,
with long blonde hair and hazel eyes, and he's gorgeous.
He's pursued Brett for awhile now.
Brett, about 27, is energetic, and lively with dark blue eyes,
wild colors and makeup, so he stands out, but has always felt used by people, for what he can do for them.
Each man has had rejections and are cautious. On the way to the wedding, - BAM ! - a car accident, sirens whine, and when Brett wakes up days later,
he's had surgery, Roman is by his side, and he hurts everywhere. We meet Brett's brother Dean, tattoo artist.
Roman has taken over his social media sites, and cares for Brett's every need. Roman wants Brett forever, but Brett is afraid to want Roman, because he's been used before.
They banter and get to know each other better, Roman stays awhile, and the men are falling together.
We get to watch them, hot sexiness and all, plus the progress, but soon Roman must get back to Aspen to work.
Next it's silence and Brett gets fed up. He's going to Aspen to give a surprise, and ultimatum, but he gets surprised instead.
I loved their feelings, the emotion and passion, and their willingness to listen and rethink.
Awesome story !
ENJOY !

He is small and skinny and lacks self esteem, not in his working world but in his love life. Everybody likes him for what he can do for them, they don’t see him though. His most recent regular hook up Wrecker, has just dropped him for someone else, one of Brett’s recently discovered talents, Johnny Savage, a singer.
Roman is 39 years old, an Adonis of a stripper/dancer is a Sex Club in Aspen, Colorado. Anyone can buy his attention but not his heart. He’s already given that to someone he met a year ago but they don’t know it. His love interest doesn’t take Roman seriously because they just think he’s too gorgeous to be interested in them. Plus he lives 900 hundred miles away.
Brett just received his Invitation to Johnny and Wrecker’s wedding in LA and to protect his ego he needs to bring a fake boyfriend as his partner for the occasion. Someone who’ll just be an entertaining, no strings attached, partner for the occasion. Dare he try asking that someone who always tries to mess with his head but is real eye candy.? He decides to call his most famous West Coast client to ask for help in contacting his possible candidate for fake boyfriend.
No harm in trying, is there?

I loved this. I was waiting for their book since forever and I'm so glad I finally got to read it. Roman has always liked Brett but he didn't think he really had a chance with him because of what he does for work, that poor baby. Brett needed someone to show him how loosen up and Roman was the perfect man for that. They were so HOT together and cute too. I liked that each saw the other person, the real version, not the one they showed the world

Love love it
Ok this story didn't even start how I thought it would and that was a great surprise. Brett was so alone for so long that to him it was a fresh of breathe air when Roman came along. Roman and Brett thought they both would never be someone who would get their happy ending. Then being together made them realize they wanted to keep each other forever and I loved it.

Roman is beautiful, flirtatious and incapable of being loyal to anyone but himself. Normally Brett would find a way to make money from Roman's natural ability to charm anyone but he won't because he gets Brett under his skin. Roman wants Brett from the first time he saw him and has pulled out every weapon in his arsenal to try to win him with no effect. When Brett invites Roman as his date for a wedding although he has no idea why. Little does Roman know, Brett needs him way more than he could have dreamed, and they’ll both be less if he can’t win.
I enjoyed this story with the two complex men who need each other if only they both realised why. Brett was the sticking point and it was only after he needed Roman and realised what really made him tick that he finally got him and why. This was fairly emotional at times. Easy to read, feel and understand this was an MM story with mature content.

Book four in this series and it was just as good as the previous ones, this is an enjoyable series, and there’s more to come. I love when we get little moments with mc’s from the previous stories, the first was my favourite so I loved seeing Jesse Thunder show up, even though very very briefly. Brett was introduced in the last book and we meet him here as he invites Roman to come to a wedding with him, the wedding of mc’s in the last book, another happily ever after, just love it! This book seemed a little shorter than the others, but maybe it was just so good I read it through that fast. I like this author, really enjoy her style. The previous stories have had tough subjects and lots of angst, this one was more calm with just a little flurry of fret, for want of a better description, it was just a lovely read.

Very good
I enjoyed Roman and Brett's story. Roman is such a playboy. Like he is swoon worthy. Brett has his own success my making people stars. These two dance around flirtatious until a kiss erupts something magical. Sometimes fairytales do come true. Roman also has a secret that could destroy them. Only true love can make this love story have a happily ever after.
