When my ex-wife divorced me because of our passionless marriage, I had no idea what the problem was. However, since I agreed to become roommates with my daughter’s best friend, I can’t think about anything but passion with him.
I won’t do anything about it. He’s much younger than me, and I wouldn’t even know what to do with a lover, especially a male one. But Trey is so nice, fun, and hot that I’m afraid I might slip and fall into his arms.
I hope my daughter never finds out how foolish I’m being.
In “Becoming Ben”, readers are introduced to a delightful age-gap relationship that unfolds between Ben, an older man, and Trey, a younger gay man. From their very first encounter, there’s an undeniable chemistry that ignites their journey. However, both characters grapple with their feelings, creating an engaging tension throughout the narrative.
Ben, portrayed as the archetypical older gentleman, strives to connect with Trey, but often finds himself overthinking his actions. His attempts to please Trey add to the story’s charm, making readers root for their relationship. On the other hand, Trey struggles with his emotions, torn between his attraction and the fear of vulnerability. This push and pull is a delightful exploration of intimacy, making it an endearing read.
One of the standout elements of the book is Trey’s best friend, who also happens to be Ben’s daughter. She injects a refreshing energy into the narrative, as both comic relief and a fierce supporter of their blossoming relationship. Despite the absence of high drama, the book captures the essence of everyday life as Ben and Trey navigate their new living arrangement. Ultimately, “Becoming Ben” offers a cozy, low-angst reading experience perfect for a relaxing weekend escape.
