Cora  Rose

Becoming Bennet

3.75/5

Let me start by saying that I'm not the biggest fan of Cora Rose and Nicole Dykes books when they write their own books, but when I hear that the two authors are collaborating, I know that as soon as the book comes out, I'll go read it. The writing is not the most amazing in the world, but it’s witty and easy to follow. I love that their books are always heavy on the romance part, and not different things, because lest be honest, I’m here for the romance and romance only.

The books follows Bennet and Jasper, two friends/ enemies who kinda hate each other, but at at the same time are in the same friends group and most importantly want to bang each other again, because once, obviously wasn’t enough. They had a collab for their job in the past and can’t stop thinking about it. Bennet is forced to return to Kansas after hearing that his mother has been hospitalized. Jasper, despite "disliking" him, decides not to let him go alone, so they fly to Bennet's home together, where their relationship will change dramatically and where the plot gets interesting. 

I liked both the main characters, Bennet and Jasper had opposite personalities but somehow complemented each other perfectly. They were pretty stupid, but it made their relationship funny and entertaining. 


  
    "If you become a vegetarian, does that mean you have to stop sucking cock?” 
He eyes me and arches an eyebrow. “I wouldn’t go that far. Let’s not get extreme."
  


They were giving small, feisty, stubborn-ish and bossy bf & taller, goofy, would do anything for you bf. I had so much fun with them because they were such cute idiots who wanted each other from the first time they met but couldn't admit it to each other, at least Jasper couldn't ( but obviously later did ). 


  
    "I grin at him. “Yeah. Babe. I kind of like it.” And I really fucking do. 
“Just because we fucked, doesn’t mean I’m your babe now.” I don’t bother going into any further detail. 
I just smirk and say, “Yeah, it does.” 
He cracks a smile and then wiggles in his seat. 
“Fine, babe. Let’s find another puddle."

“Am I your type?” he asks softly after a moment of silence. I hold back my answer for a bit and then nod once. 
“It seems you are.” 
“Hell yes,” he murmurs and when I glance over, he’s smiling goofily."
  


How could I possibly not like them? 

I'm obsessed with the fact that even though this series is about cam boys, the main characters don't want to share (collaborate with others) and are possessive of each other. I hate sharing in books, so that’s one of the reasons why I enjoy and will continue this series.

I can’t wait for the next book about Damon, I know I will love him. I mean- 


  
    "Just as I say that the front door swings open and Damon struts out, wearing tight leather pants, a shiny silver shirt, a long jacket, and a bright purple scarf. 
“Well hello, you fabulous people in tornado alley!” 
“Oh god,” I say just as Jasper utters, “For fuck’s sake.”
  


I will definitely love him. I don’t know with who he will be partied with, it might be Jimbob, but he and Ryan might have their own book with stepbrothers trope going on. The sheriff's book, if there is going to be one, will definitely be added to my tbr as well.

What I didn't like was that the ending was a bit rushed and I wish there was an "I love you" scene. The epilogue could have been a page or two longer too. Despite those things, I will continue this series anyway because as I wrote, I can't wait for Damon's book
