The conclusion of the Foster Bro Code series PROBLEM CHILD has Bailey landing his dream man. This is an age gap ex con romance.
From the blurb:
I'm the problem child...
I'm the youngest foster brother. The one with the most potential.
My brothers have plans for me. Plans that involve going to college and leaving my family and job at our auto shop behind.
Plans that definitely don't include getting involved with a big, sexy ex-con like Flynn Donovan.
He's older than me. Bigger than me. And the man looks hard all over. But I know he's soft inside. Soft for me. If I can just get him to admit it.
I'm adrift at Thurston College, and when Flynn offers a big, strong shoulder to lean on, I seize the lifeline.
There's a spark between us, but Flynn resists it. I'm too young, too innocent, too much a "little brother" for him. At least, I think those are the reasons until he confesses the real one.
Flynn's got secrets. Guilt about his past and fears about the future. Worries that make my problems look like, well, child's play.
But I'm not a child anymore, and it's time to step up.
I want to be strong for Flynn. To fight for the right to love him, to keep him, to care for him the way he deserves. And if I can fight for him, then maybe I can also learn to fight for myself.
Because I've got my own plans, and my brothers aren't going to like them...
Problem Child is Book 4 of Foster Bro Code. Trigger warning for references to abuse, criminal activity, and death. Some violence on-page, mostly as a result of Bailey pool-hustling the wrong men.
Molly Otto's review:
It is time for the youngest Steele to get his man. Bailey has had a thing for Flynn since he was hired at first at the junkyard than with the auto shop when Bailey is off to college. Bailey doesn't want to disappoint his brothers so he does as is asked and goes away to get a higher education. What i adore so much about Bailey is he may be always getting into some sort of trouble but his fierce loyalty to those he cares for will always come first. The more you get to know Flynn and the other Redemption Road members the more you want to know. Flynn was incarcerated even though he does not regret his choice he does regret how people see him. These two show how similar they are even with their age gap and how their pasts do not make who they are but their loyalty for those who are close to them make them better. A beautiful conclusion to an overall unique series from DJ. Now I sit here crossing my fingers the rest of the Redemption Road members, as well as Aiden (younger brother of Flynn) to will find their people.
Fourth and series finale in series (Foster Bro Code), best if read in order. Age gap. Found family. Dual POV.
Bailey is supposed to be focusing on college, but he misses working on cars, misses his brothers, misses the man he has a crush on back home. Flynn isn’t taking his second chance for granted, he works hard as a mechanic and the family that has trusted him, but he still fears he doesn’t deserve much, especially not the affection he yearns for from Bailey.
This book was a nice finale for the series, just like all the other couples, Bailey and Flynn seem to be the right fit for the other as they support, love and crave each other equally. I appreciated that Flynn was totally honest with Bailey about his past and his feelings, and that Bailey had to take a minute but once he was committed it was a thousand percent no hesitation. These two grew together smoothly and it was pretty low angst as I trusted in the strength of their found family. Sad to see this group go, but there are hints of spin-offs that I look forward to.
Heather's Review:
I can't believe that another series is coming to an end... but I'm so glad that Bailey is getting his HEA! I really like the way Bailey is portrayed and how Flynn and Bailey complement each other. I also love the way Flynn's character growth is shown and what that means for the couple. I love the age gap, the push and pull of expectations and the tease of the new spin off series.
