This was sweet and clean; I adore the MMC Griffin (reminded me of my husband) and award 10 points to Gryffindor for the high level of communication that takes place between the two adult leads as they navigate their differences and needs. It's just my bad timing to read this cute romance, featuring a lot of therapy, on the heels of a nonfiction book about the shortcomings of therapy. I ultimately wanted more for the characters than an assumption that they could never be fully healed from their trauma, but at least would have coping mechanisms to help them throughout their life.

My Quick Takes:
- 5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Language 🤐 none
- Spice ❤️‍🔥 kisses only
- Content 🤔 childhood trauma, foster care/adoption, single parent, toxic family relationship

Tracy Baack hits the ball out of the park (pun intended) with this sweet baseball romance!! She continues time and time again to write real and relatable characters.

Second guessing if you’re doing everything right or wrong in parenting was very relatable for me, even if I can’t relate on the adoption/single parenting front. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Danae and Griffin, but even more so Jason and Sam. I loved the character dynamics, especially of the side characters, they really brought another level to the plot.

Not a fan of baseball? Neither is the female main character, allowing readers with any stance on baseball to enjoy the read. I’m personally not a big baseball fan myself but that didn’t keep me from loving the plot, storylines, and characters!

Beautiful sports romance but this one is a bit more serious than the typical spicy sports romance books and I loved that. I loved the awareness of the foster care system and the compassion showed by our main characters. It brought a tear to my eye and I highly enjoyed and recommend this one.

If there's one thing that I can count on when reading a book by Tracy Baack it's that I'm going to cry at some point! Her books all have a dose of reality in them, and sometimes (frequently) that reality hits me hard.

Home Safe is no different, and seeing the trauma, and the healing that slowly follows is so emotional. Jason is the sweetest kid who has gone through so much and Danae is there to help as much as she can, which of course, leads to meeting Griffin - star baseball player. I loved how this is a book where the two main characters are so opposite of each other, but they don't shy away from communicating with each other and managing their differences.

I loved every second of reading this book, and didn't want to be finished when I reached the end. I can't wait to see what Tracy comes up with next, and I'll be one of the first in line for it!
