Publisher's summary

I came looking for family...I never expected to find love....

Lost parents, foster care, group homes...I’ve seen it all, and I wish I was over it. But now that I’m out of college I can’t move forward until I find answers about my past. And that brings me to Bennet Wood. But it’s not long lost relatives who change everything...it’s Jay.

He says he’s just passing through, but he makes me feel like I’ve found a new home. I don’t know what it will take to make him mine, but I have to try.

Things are just heating up when I find out everything I thought I knew was a lie. The town of Bennett Wood has been harboring secrets for years. Will Jay stand by me as I face them? Or he be like everyone else and leave me to stand alone?

Finding His Way Home begins the Benson Brothers series when Joshua kicks up a hornets nest of deceit and medical malpractice in the small town of Bennett Wood.

The Benson Brothers might not be the most traditional of families, but they’ll whether the scandal and find their ways to love in seven steamy M/M romances!

Wonderful Collection

This is a long listen but it is a wonderful collection of stories as you follow the Benson brothers to their HEAs. It was a truly enjoyable read and I liked being able to go from one story to the next seamlessly and following all of the brothers along the way. The narrator did a great interpretation of all of the stories and had a great range of voices for all of the characters. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

Overall a good bundle

While the series is called the Benson Brothers, it's a little misleading because it doesn't start with one of the Benson's, though they do help bring everyone together. I really like that this was bundled together because 1) it makes it easier to listen in order and 2) it's so much cheaper. I highly recommend getting this bundle, even if you have some or all of the titles individually.

As for the specific books, I really enjoyed book 2, Finding His Guys, because I really like friends to lovers. Books 3 (another friends and second chances book) and 6 (another trio) are also in my top 3.

This series was really well developed and I'm glad I didn't discover it before all the books were out because I would have hated having to wait for the next to be released to find out what else is happening with the town.

Inconsistent

I enjoyed most of these, and they were wonderfully spicy, but the huge continuity errors are difficult to overlook. Whole characters disappear from one book to the next. MAIN characters. Appearances, jobs, and voices change with no explanation. I still think it's a good deal for one credit, but if you're the type who can have a book ruined by poor quality editing, maybe skip this one.

Bennet Woods, our home

This is a very enjoyable series set in a small town and focused on the relationship between Benson brothers and their lovers. I’ll be honest. I thought these are just going to be short and sweet stories but I didn’t expect the small town of Bennet Woods would be full of mysteries, deceit and scary things waiting in the dark. It was very interesting and added an another layer of enjoyment to the story. I don’t think I would be able to listen over 30 hours of pure love stories so it was really good to get exciting and thrilling mystery aspect in the story. The narrator was a new-to-me narrator but he did a good job with the performance. I mean for 30 hours of enjoyable stories for a credit, you really can’t beat the price. Recommended I’d you are looking for an enjoyable past-time listen.

Quantity > Quality

This is a nice, long collection of adequately written stories with an adequate reader which can be used to fill long hours of lockdown. You won’t be inspired, but you won’t be put to sleep.

Excellent!!

This was sooo good!! A lot of my favorite troupes were in this set, MMM, friends to lovers, enemies. age gap, etc. There were seven stories in the bundle. All excellent and well told. Gage McKenna did an amazing job with the narration! First time listening to him and he was easy to listen to.

great listen

I enjoyed this collection of books. The writing was good, but the narrator was what made it great.

Benson Brothers

Never reading Oliver or Kandi books before, I went in with a open mind and thoroughly enjoyed this bundle. While having the same, ah, father each brother had his own unique journey. I became Joshua's biggest cheerleader, because his being all alone tugged at my heartstrings from the beginning. I routed for Luke so desperate to has something away from the life he had come from. What wonderful accepting men the triplets were raised to be. Opening their lives and hearts to make them all a part of a special family.
The narrator was perfect bringing each voice to life, as well as adding a feel of the small town of Bennetwood.

Small town dramas

For what you get, this is a good value - 7 loosely connected stories (it’s somewhat misleading to call the series Benson Brothers) set in small town Bennett Wood. There are a variety of tropes, along with some dark secrets. I generally enjoyed the various stories and characters, though I didn’t find anything particularly standout to bring me back as a repeat visitor. The narrator was new to me and I thought he had a pleasant voice and was easy to listen to.

This Book Has Everything

Age gap, throples, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, ect. It was a long session but it was worth it, each story had it's one unique storyline And it was great seeing each of the brothers get their own happy ending. The narrator did a excellent job with each story, and it was a pleasure to listen to him tell them.
