A review by bookwormsandbiblios
Ward by Margot Scott
5.0
Margot Scott does not do easy romance. There’s nothing wrong with an uncomplicated fluffy love story. This is not that. Instead, the book opens with a tragedy. Grace is thrown together with her father’s estranged stepbrother, Aiden, due to a house fire. While Grace is still in school working toward her collegiate goals of studying dance, Aiden is well-established, rich, and powerful. They both have to figure out how to share a house with a virtual stranger and the boundaries of their new relationship as ward and guardian.
This is a BDSM age-gap romance, which can be mired in lots of unsavoriness. However, the switching POVs allow insight into character motivation and thoroughly enthusiastic consent (in the context of the novel.) There is a messy, tantalizing complexity as they navigate their relationship with just enough slow burn to leave you as frustrated as Grace is. This is a wonderful read for anyone looking for a dark romance with a knight in not-so-shining armor.
