Becoming Bennet by Cora Rose, Nicole Dykes
5.0
I finished up Becoming Bennet by Cora Rose and Nicole Dykes last night and I LOVED IT.
Honestly, this story had me giggling almost the entire time. Jasper is just so entertaining with his running monologs - the man is a hoot. And Bennet. OMG, what a teddy bear.
Bennet and Jasper are camboys, coworkers, and... acquaintances. Friends. Well, they're definitely something. And there's absolutely a spark between them. When Bennet receives bad news and crumbles, Jasper steps up to help. The two travel to Bennet's home town in Kansas and [redacted].
Jasper is a secret softie. A caretaker hidden beneath snark and pouts. Bennet leans on him, while they're forced to share only one bed.
The side characters in this were amazing. Even the critters [and those names, OMG!] Looking forward to Jimbob and Ryan's stories too. And of COURSE Damon's. I really loved getting to see Bennet and Jasper navigate their feelings, what a mess.
My only complaint, if it could even be called that when I loved this story so much, is that I would've enjoyed getting a little more of Jasper's backstory. We got little nuggets, but I would have loved to learn his familial history and get pieces of why he is the way he is. But, the story was great even without that.
I loved book one and I loved this one too! I laughed so much, and desperately want to give Jasper a hug. I absolutely recommend! I also recommend you read Reaching Reed, book one, before this one. It's not necessary, but makes the books more enjoyable.
Y'all, this book was great. The chemistry, the shenanigans, everything!

🧡🧡🧡 in an early celebration of Loving Leo's release, set on the 24th, I'm rereading this ✨️Becoming Bennet✨️ and Discovering Damon from the Behind the Camera series.
Cora & Nicole deliver hilarious and fun mcs with amazing stories, and Jasper and Damon are ridiculously entertaining. They remind me of Tatum from the Unexpectedly Twisted series.
BECOMING BENNET is Bennet & Jasper's story. Bennet has to go home to Kansas for a family situation, and Jasper goes to help because Bennet can't deal.
What follows is syrupy sweet. Bennet deals with family, and Jasper experiences farm life and tornados all while trying so hard to NOT fall for Bennet. It's impossible.
They tease and collaborate for their friend Carter's website, doing camboy things and fall hopelessly in love with each other.
This story was great. I loved the mcs. I loved the side characters and cameos. I loved the animals and how ridiculously sweet Jasper was. I just loved all of it.
If you're interested in starting this series, I definitely recommend it. Reaching Reed is book one, and it's a little more ✨️sad✨️ because of circumstances, and the spicy scenes were a little spicier because, again, circumstances. Then you can read Becoming Bennet to balance the universe. I'm off to start Damon's adventure, and I can't wait!
