The Laird by Grace Burrowes

3.0

Heyyyyyy trigger warning child abuse? Like, child sexual abuse. A lot of these Regency-era romances have some sort of trauma for one or the other main character to overcome, usually via a titled gentleman's magic dick, and they vary in acceptability as plot devices/fridges, but this one is an entire book based around TRIGGER WARNING/SPOILER a child groomer/abuser. So, that's fun and sexy to talk about in the wilds of the Scottish Highlands?? I guess if you're ready to read about that, then you're in good shape. The villain of this book is real dang clangy; it's also a book about non-toxic male friendship, though, which is a refreshing turn. So, I don't know: 5 stars for FRIENDSHIP, 2 stars for surprise child abuse, evens out to three stars.
