Summary: Exceptionally good book
Review: White Heather is a very good book indeed, with interesting and likeable leads, a riveting bit of intrigue, and a delightful love story. One of the most remarkable things about the book is how skillfully the intrigue is woven into the rest of the story. Reding manages to keep the reader just slightly guessing until the very end. Yes, we're pretty sure we know who, but are they in league together? Is one a red herring? Is Robert mistaken in any of it? Perhaps the best mix of intrigue and romance I have read in historical romance. Superbly done.

Robert is quite a hero: different and yet embodying all the necessary elements. Catriona is a compelling heroine as well--both smart and idealistic--and so very suited to this man. They truly bring out the best in each other. I am, however, more inclined to agree with Robert than with Catriona about Ian. You knew that was coming, but Reding managed to embue it with power and surprise none the less. That's a hallmark of this book, in fact; Reding takes the usual elements and makes them seem fresh.

There are a couple of minor questions left over, but the vast majority is neatly wrapped up, and the reader is left feeling well satisfied. I'll be reading more from this author.
