Foster Bro Code Book 4: Problem Child by DJ Jamison

 

Foster Bro Code Book 4

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.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s finally Bailey’s turn! I’ve been looking forward to his story and to see if he finally gets his chance with Flynn. Bailey loves his brothers. He knows the sacrifices they have made for each other and especially for him. So there is not much he wouldn’t do for them. Even if that means going to college when he very much doesn’t want to and leaving the guy he has a major crush on behind. But he doesn’t want to disappoint his brothers and Flynn has yet to give in to Bailey’s flirting. But college is turning out exactly how Bailey thought it would but there is an upside… things are changing between him and Flynn. And the more they spend time together and open up to one another, the harder Bailey falls. Flynn has been working hard in the Redemption Program to turn his life around after spending the last seven years in prison. He doesn’t want to do anything jeopardize it. And falling for the boss’s youngest brother is definitely not a good idea. But he can only resist Bailey for so long. Flynn knows Bailey deserves better but even when he does to push Bailey away, Bailey won’t let him go. Not without a fight. It makes him realize just how much he cares for Bailey and that fighting for him is worth everything. I loved these two! They were perfect for one another. These two have been through a lot in their lives, very different things, but still things that really tested who they were. Flynn is always so hard on himself and I loved that Bailey could be the one to reassure him that him and his brothers care about him and have his back. And that Bailey wasn’t letting him go. And for Bailey, Flynn never treated him like a kid and was there to listen to what he wanted. I loved that their foundation was friends and how they were able to eventually let themselves be more than that. Such a satisfying way to end this particular series! But I can’t wait to get the stories we got a small peek of. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of these guys at all! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
