Summary: A unique and real romance
Review: As a devoted romance reader, I grow tired of reading characters who are too-too perfect from page one. Perfect house, perfect family, perfect life, perfect everything...WHITE KNIGHT was so incredibly wonderful because it started out with a hero, Christian, who was tough and flawed and hard-edged in the beginning, a result of the the life he'd been born into, but who changed over the course of the story, because of the unselfish love of his heroine, Grace, living up to the title of "White Knight". This story demonstrated beautifully how love can truly change a person's life and it dealt with some real-life issues that a good many romance writers unfortunately shy away from. I commend Ms. Reding on a job well done!

Summary: Passion, mystery and romance!
Review: But however will I know who is the right husband if you are not here to advise me?" The dowager had smiled again, saying only, "You will, child, because you are of my blood. I had only to dance once with my true love and I knew I would spend the rest of my life loving him. It will be the same when you have found your own true 'very parfit gentle knight.'" Her last words were whispered like the soft summer wind through Grace's thoughts. Gentle knight. Knight..."Was it possible? Could this Marquess Knighton be the one her grandmother had spoken of? Had Nonny somehow sent him to protect her as she had promised, or was she being silly..." When Grace Ledys finds herself facing a marriage match arranged by her selfish, gambling Uncle Tedric, she has only one request. She wants to dance with her future husband before the marriage takes place. Then, she will know if this man is the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Reluctantly, Uncle Tedric arranges for the dance, anxious to get Grace married off and his debts paid by the Duke of Westhover--the future groom's Grandfather. At the ball, Grace witnesses a lifestyle of Lords and Ladies that is to be her own. Feeling hopelessly inadequate, she attempts to flee the manor. Ducking into a dark hallway, she tumbles through the servant's entrance and lands at the feet of a man---a rather well-sculpted man in a state of undress. Christian Wycliffe, Marquess Knighton believes his uninvited guest is just another one of the girls after his money and his name. In an effort to scare her off, he threatens to have his way with her and pulls her into his arms. Unaware, he kisses his future bride and lights a fire that will undermine the plans for his future. Like the couples that came before them in Book One of the Regency Quartet, White Heather and White Magic, Grace and Christian prove to be a tantalizing combination of reluctant lovers. White Knight is an exceptional romance for its mystery and intrigue. Whispers of murder and an ill-fated romance dance just below the surface of this story, keeping the reading guessing while their passion is igniting.Lynne Remick, Reviewer

Summary: Amazing! Romantic!
Review: Christian and Grace's story drew me in immediately. I stayed up all night until I finished it and then went back and read different parts of it again! The setting, the historical period, the characters, all came together to make a remarkable story. So often the "arranged marriage" plot is so unbelieveable. This story showed an aspect that is rarely done, a more realistic approach that made me care so much more about the characters. Grace was such a strong heroine, a girl who could stand on her own two feet, and an absolute match for Christian. This is my favorite Reding book, and I can't wait for the last one of the series, WHITE MIST!

Summary: An exceptional story
Review: Every once in a while you find a book that draws you in from page one and never lets go. This book is definitely one of those! The character of Grace is transformed through the story from the meek duckling into a beautiful Scottish swan that has nothing to do with her physical appearance, but the growth she experiences as a woman. The hero, Christian, also must come to terms with a shadowed past that he has allowed to control him far too long and move on to the love that he has been gifted with. The imagery of Ms. Reding's words was incredibly vivid. Having been to Scotland years ago, I felt as if I were genuinely taken back in this story. This is not a book you should allow yourself to miss.

Summary: Well-researched background
Review: In the first part of the book I became irritated with Grace for putting up with Christian's beastly behavior as long as she did, so I cheered when she left. The plot seemed a little too tidy at that point--Poof! Grace suddenly had independent money and land available, making leaving seem a little too easy for a woman in that time period--but the hardships she later endured made the story more believable and her personal blossoming more wonderful. Christian's slow metamorphosis also made me cheer, as he became the kind of loving, supportive husband a heroine like Grace deserves. Jaclyn Reding has researched the time period of the book well and created memorable, engaging characters.
