GRR Reviews Baylee Breaking by Simone Beaudelaire

Baylee Breaking is a romance pivoting into romantic suspense, about opening oneself to love despite having been wounded before. While some of the plot was not totally believable, the details are relatively minor and did not distract from the overall plot.

Chase moved to another side of Texas after a bitter divorce with Candace, his childhood sweetheart. At the new place, he fell in love with the pretty and fragile Baylee, and her son Dylan, only to find she's actually homeless, and he took them in immediately. Baylee's ex, Blake, was in a gang, and he went to prison for 4 years instead of ratting out his gang, and Baylee cut contact, so Blake didn't even know he had a son. Blake's parents, however, knew and tried to force Baylee to give up custody. When she refused, they called child protective services on her. Chase offered Baylee a solution: marry him, and settle in his home permanently... Which will leave CPS nothing to talk about. But even as that problem is solved, Baylee's ex Blake escaped from prison and kidnaped Dylan...

SLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD

I am surprised that head of a trucking firm would not know that parolees are not supposed to leave the state. But when reminded of this fact, that was quickly rectified. All in all, it's a fun read.
