Book Review: Seven Nights with a Scot (All The King’s Men, #1) by Gerri Russell

 






Seven Nights with a Scot (All The King’s Men, #1) by Gerri Russell 
1500s  Story starts out with Vivian and she's helped King James with her visions, keeping him and others safe.
He's ailing and wants her wed and knows just who. It's an elderly man and she takes care of him and within months he dies.
She leaves before his son Rupert takes over.  She's a witch and knows about the bounty over her head. She's now been promised to Reed. Quinn almost runs her over and he is able to save her life.
He tends to her wounds and tells her of the plans for his brother Reid to wed her.
On their journey they are held up with a bunch of men who want the witch.  Hand fights occur with his two riding partners.
They decide to go through the mountains where her maid approaches them, Gillis who joins their group.
While they hide out at Vivian's friends convent they are able to catch up on eating, sleep and healing.  Love the herbs and gardening talk and what herbs will cure which ailments, so cool!
Sister is trying to talk her into going after what she wants-Quinn rather than waiting for his brother Reid.
Love all the secret passageways that were there from time of the Templars and druids. Some history in those walls!
Like it when she trusts him with her secrets and they maneuver to different areas to keep away from harm.
Kidnapped again....  so much action and adventure and mystery.
Love this book because of the travel, history, romance, learning new words and explanations of herbs used and for what ailment, so educational, Templar mentioned.
So much to this story and hate to see it end, taking my time reading it...
Never imagined book ending as it does, wow!  Series listing of next books and excerpt from the next are included.
Endnotes are included where there is research material shared with reader about the time period and witches. Few sex scenes.
About the author is included at the end.  Can't wait to read more from this author.
Won this at Tule #8 birthday party from the author and this is my honest opinion.
