Beautifully Backed (Candied Crush Book 8) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 174 ratings

A single night of powerful connection collides with a cruel twist of fate. No matter the outcome, Sergio and Tobin are meant to be.

Sergio went from the streets to being one of the highest-paid soccer players in the world. For the most part, he has tried to stay humble. The change in his circumstances doesn’t mean his life is easy now. He meets a lot of users and has a hard time saying no. Tobin is the first person he’s met since hitting it big who doesn’t want a thing from him. Yet Tobin needs him more than Sergio could possibly know.

Tobin has no clue Sergio is famous. In a moment of living life to the fullest while he can, Tobin takes Sergio home for the night. While it is the greatest night of his life, he has no plans to repeat the experience. Everything recently changed for him and Tobin is in no place to start a relationship. He must accept Sergio as the temporary gift he is, except he doesn’t take into account Sergio’s determination.

Sergio isn’t the type to be pushed aside. Tobin is in his sights now. Unlike everyone else, Tobin deserves Sergio’s help and he’s not taking no for an answer. All he can do now is hope that life doesn’t steal Tobin before Sergio can save him.

    Tobin is a pastry chef and does for himself. He relies on no one. Sergio is a huge soccer star whose tired of being used. They agree to one night. No strings. But is it ever that simple? This book pulls you in and makes your heart ache. Like these two just need to be loved and hugged all the time. Raw emotions sweep over you as soon as you start reading. Its a really good book. Deals with real life on so many levels.

    Grab the Kleenex! Tears will be shed! Tears of happiness, of sadness, of sweetness, of just everything! These two are hands down the perfect couple! They both are just too sweet and make you never wanna leave them once the story is done! I was worried it would end one way and thankfully it didn’t or I don’t know what I would have done! Ugh , why can’t I just live in the stories with them all!?

    Another terrific novella in this well written series. We get a different tale each time, and a new couple to watch, plus some previous characters at times.
    Tobin, a smaller guy, blonde, green eyes, is a Pastry Chef, and like a brother to Reid. Tobin didn't want to miss out on living for every moment. The guys have an unforgettable night of super hot sexy passion.
    Sergio, a famous Soccer star, has a rags to riches story, dark hair, Hispanic, tall and sleek muscled. Valor had helped Sergio when he was younger, and looks up to him as a father figure.
    After their night, Sergio wants more, but Tobin avoids him, because he doesn't want Sergio to know he's sick, or to feel sorry for him.
    This short story shows us there are big-hearted people in the world who want to give and care for others, wanting nothing in return. Although here, Sergio gains a deeper love, even after his blunder.
    You may need tissues handy.
    These characters are so deserving of their wishes coming true. We slowly see why Sergio has his attitude, and we watch brave Tobin suffer through. Wow !
    It's a man in need finding unconditional love, a total dedication and a future.
    I liked Sergio overcoming his troubled past, and sweet Tobin's soul.
    ENJOY !

    I have enjoyed how this arthur has managed to put so much character and story into a shorter read. I had tears in my eyes several times. A bit too much sex but that is the trend anymore. Enjoyed.
