MY REVIEW:

The Seduction of Laird Sinclair (Scottish Historical Romance) by Kara Griffin
Story starts out with Callum and he's going to lead a fight with newly trained men but they are overrun by so many more and are defeated.
He's mortally wounded and just wants to die with his weapon but the man that finds him knows his healer can fix him.
Meanwhile in England: Violet and she's discovered her husband, has been killed and the man in charge is keeping her daughter til she marries the man she wants no part of.
A friend of her husband, Edward comes to her rescue and will take her to Scotland where a man there owes him a favor.
Violet arrives at the keep and she learns she can seduce the laird and get what she needs. She does favor him and he favors her as he's lost his wife also...
Dela is Callum's daughter and although she may not be his flesh and blood Violet wants to tend to her needs and takes care of her in the castle, keeping others away from her.
Others want to not only harm Dela but Violet as well. So many secrets and truth comes out and it's nothing is what it seems with the fireball above in the sky.
Callum's grandmother has a bit of knowledge and wisdom and leads him to find out the truth.
Edward comes to take Violet back to England but she convinces him otherwise.....
Adult scenes and at times things are confusing because of all the people being introduced. Family chart at the start of the story really helps keep things straight.
Enjoyed this book because I was able to learn some legends about thistle and makes sense as I've watched movies in this time frame, location, daily details of chores and gardening, strategy of fighting and outwitting others and I like a good tale. Love how guys banter with one another.
Can't wait to read more of this series.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
