Laura | 13 comments I am looking for books where the main female character was physically abused in the past and has escaped the relationship in some way and is moving on to a healthier romance. Harlequin romances are acceptable

Main character is abused by a trusted family member and she escapes, heals her wounds slowly, and goes through a journey of self-discovery.

Mary (marissa_214) | 131 comments These have a lighter feel, but I thought I'd throw them out there. This series starts with The Perfect Rake and deals with 5 sisters who had an abusive grandfather.

Lsophia | 162 comments Great collection here. I would add Cherokee Thunder by Rachel Lee and The Long Masquerade by Madeleine Brent (which also contains instances of rape, per your other request).

Jenna | 581 comments I keep recommending this post from RTbookreviews, but it's got a lot of suggestions for books whee heroine was in an abusive relationship, so worth repeating...
