The Laird by Grace Burrowes

4.0

I've always loved Grace Burrowes's historical romances. She adds what feels like so much more depth and charm that even though others can serve up as well, her books just have in abundance. Each of her characters, even the secondary, are well thought out and add such richness to the narrative. In this final book in the Captive Hearts trilogy, we meet Michael and Brenna who may have been married for years, have not set eyes on each other in ten years. Married at 20/16, Michael set off to war shortly after the wedding and comes home years later. Brenna has been working hard to keep the keep running in his absence but many blamed her for the Laird leaving and it's been a battle for many years. She doesn't know what to think about the man who has come back from war. She loved the boy she had grown up with but this new Michael is someone very different. Can these two married strangers find a new and stronger love that will help them save their home? I really enjoyed how they rediscovered each other and even though they each had past secrets worked together to build a better union. Great read!
