  THE REALITY OF WANTING HIM Love Without Labels - Book One by Bec Benson Release Date: July 23, 2025 Audio Release Date: February 24, 2026 Review Such a fun premise. Blake enters a dating show in hopes of finding a wife so his parents don’t cut him off. He walks away with a boyfriend whose world is completely different than his. Don’t get me wrong, he’s an idiot. Blake is missing a few bricks if he ever believed he would definitely end up falling for a woman on a queer-friendly blind dating show. But this sport-obsessed rich boy is also endearing, and it’s especially cute to watch him fall for a man. Liam is a quiet farmer who knows he won’t be able to find someone while working on the farm. The one thing he doesn’t want out of a partner is someone sporty. Ooops. It’s a pretty endearing story, and I totally vibe with Blake’s obsession over the chickens!! My first with this pairing, but definitely not the last. And while narrator Alexander Cendese is a fan favourite that I love con...
