I don’t know why nobody ever wanted me. For real, I mean. My parents died when I was eight, and I spent the next ten years hopping between foster homes. Let’s just say, they barely did me any favors. Now I’m done with school, degree in hand, and… I’ve got nothing. No job lined up. No apartment, once the lease runs out. Nowhere to be and no one to be there with. Except… well… I do have DNA …
Except… well… I do have DNA test results from a genealogy website. With close family matches.
It’s probably a stupid idea. A total long shot, really.
…I’m going to go and find them.
This is just about loose ends.
I quit calling Bennett Wood home years ago. It was more like a… home base. Living the life of a long haul trucker didn’t lend itself to much settling down in one spot.
And for a long time, it worked. Always on the go, looking ahead to the next shipment, the next truck stop. But honestly? I’m getting too old for this. I want to set down roots. Find a partner, someone to share lazy Saturday mornings with.
I’ve got a plan – sell the house I inherited. Move to a larger city. Find a lover.
But that was before he showed up, looking for his kin.
He’s too young for me, of course. It’s just a fling. Just two people passing through, taking some comfort from one another.
Isn’t it?
Finding His Way Home is the first book in the new, contemporary Benson Brothers series. Set in the small town of Bennett Wood, North Carolina, you won’t want to miss out on these sweet and steamy love stories! This book, and all the books in the series, can be read as a standalone.

Joshua had always wanted to know his birth family. He decided to go to the small town of Bennetwood.
There he unraveled the mystery of his birth family, but also he found love, and a place to call home.
The narration by Gage McKenna was very good. audiobookobsessionreviewer
A story of wanting to find your roots, your family, there reason you where given up. This storyline is a common one, but the surprise answer to the characters questions not so much. Finding love is also not an easy feat when you feel unloved, so this story also has the best of two worlds finding a family and love.
Narrator was new to me, but I found him enjoyable.

Finding His Way Home
Benson Brothers, Book 1
By: J.P. Oliver, Linda Kandi
Narrated by: Gage McKenna
Finding his Way Home is a book that for me was full of surprises! This is my first book by JP Oliver and Linda Kandi, and I was surprised by how contemporary this story is. We first meet Joshua, a young man who has spent his life in and out of foster homes. Now armed with DNA results, he heads to Bennett Wood, North Carolina to seek out his possible family. He meets Jay, an older man, back in Bennett Wood to clean out his mother’s home. These two men hit it off, and while meant to be one night, their chemistry is too obvious to think it should be more. These two complex characters lead us through a great story. More of my surprises lead to cover ups, ancestry, small town antics, dealing with death and sentimentality, it’s all there melded together by a romance too strong to ignore. If you enjoy MM, this is a series you will want to start and see where book 2 takes you.
Narrated by Gage McKenna, the story flows with ease. It’s my first listen by him,and I love his voice. He has a variety of male and female voices, but I especially love his ability to go from Joshua to Jay with ease. I will watch for more of his performances.

The story is very good and it certainly made me want to keep going until I finished it. Told from alternating POVs, the switch between characters, and authors, is seamless.
Joshua and Jay work well as a couple for me. The problems between them are usually caused by Joshua’s younger age and immaturity and, of course, the insecurity from his upbringing. What starts as a fling transforms into a real relationship once everything starts to come together. I did have one problem with the storyline. The DNA reveal only starts to come together in the epilogue and it feels more logical to me that it should be when Joshua meets his 3 brothers. I know the conflict continues in Book 2, which is Luke’s story, so that is probably why the authors did this.
