A review by kiwifire
The Laird by Grace Burrowes

3.0

Never expected a romance novel to be a plodding think piece on child abuse. While I appreciate sensitive topics being raised in more and more books, and I know the emotions and reactions were accurate....it was the most boring book. Nothing happened, nobody went anywhere, it was all just mental anguish and no plot.

At least the main characters didn't do that annoying "kiss me! I AM HORRIBLE NEVER LOOK AT ME but kiss me! I CANNOT CONTROL MYSELF but kiss me! I AM SHAMEFUL HOW CAN YOU STAND ME THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD" thing.
