I spent a restless night in Catherine’s head as she tosses and turns with the ebb and flow of her thoughts, choices, fears and desires now that the boy she thought she lost has returned. “Back then, you gave me reason to be my own woman, and when you left, I became that woman.”īack in the present, Catherine struggles with lost love, personal fulfillment, needs, desires, and obligations. Reiss’ quietly displays the breadth of her talent by incorporating a YA romance within an adult contemporary romance and making the YA romance feel like it is a genre that she has been writing for years. The story of Chris and Catherine’s young love is touching and quintessential young adult fiction. Chris became divorced, less rich, and lonely after the loss of his beloved dog, Lancelot. Catherine became the uncanonized Saint of Barrington. Chris rode a shooting star to financial success on Wall Street. Through no fault of her own, Catherine and the town named after her family fell far from grace.
Chris grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Reiss’ effortless transition from describing young, naïve, and inexperienced lust between Chris and Catherine at age sixteen to the hungry wanting of two adults who need each other like they need oxygen.Ĭatherine grew up privileged. It is a classic story of loving and being worthy of love. Both the main characters, Chris Cartwright and Catherine Barrington tell their tale. Reiss’ story toggles between 13 years in the past when her characters were 16 years old to the present.
Reiss’ highly anticipated White Knight is everything her fans could have hoped for in this fourth and final book of her American Royalty Universe series of standalone contemporary romances. You don’t need to read anything else to read White Knight.Ĭ.D. White Knight is a standalone in the same world as King of Code, with its own beginning, middle, and end. Soon after he left, all the money was gone. She didn’t care about his money, but he didn’t believe her.
On the trading floor he became the man he knew he could be. A man she could bring home to her parents. He left her to make something of himself.
