The Laird by Grace Burrowes
5.0
cw: childhood sexual abuse, portrayal of grooming
this is a deeply affecting and emotional novel about healing and the making of a marriage, but could be triggering for childhood sexual abuse survivors as brenna's trauma is the lurking dread underpinning the growing trust and tenderness between her and michael, and michael's younger sister moving to the castle.
one of grace burrowe's best imo, but definitely very heavy despite the beautiful relationship at the center
third read update: it's hard to call this a favorite, but it remains one of the author's best novels and a shining example of the ability of the genre to be a balm to deep hurts
