White Knight
Lady Grace Ledys was sure her marriage to the handsome Christian Wycliffe, Marquiss Knighton, would fulfill all her hopes of love. But her innocent dreams are dashed when her husband proves cold and indifferent -- and harbors strange secrets.
For years, Christian has been plagued by his cruel grandfather, the Duke of Westover, who holds control over his destiny. Forced to wed Grace, he vows never to beget an heir. But Grace's charms overpower him, and in a last effort to resist her, he wounds her greatly. Robbed of all hope for happiness, Grace flees -- to Skynegal, a castle named for the legendary white-winged birds who protect it. And in her new home, Grace will find hope for love with the husband of her heart -- but only if he can conquer the darkness of his past...

This one is the summit -- the top -- the high water mark. If you read only one Jaclyn Reding romance, read this one.
Jaclyn Reding has always been a romance author close to my heart. It seems like just yesterday (though it was really 1995!) when I read TEMPTING FATE, her second Topaz Historical. What totally captivated me back then was the incredibly simple, almost child-like way she told the story of Hadrian and Mara. Yes, there was plenty of sex, and the poverty and violence of 17th century Ireland was used realistically in the plot. But Reding made you believe that love could really move mountains, change lives, and end centuries of bitterness. And she did it with two people who were really very simple and basic types. A wounded hero with an angry past and a resourceful heroine with an incredible faith in love and hope.
Well, that template served Jaclyn Reding well. She wrote a series of classics after TEMPTING FATE, but this novel, WHITE KNIGHT, is her best. It's a Regency, (you can tell the market made that decision) and yet it has the same spirit as TEMPTING FATE. Grace is gentle and good and Christian is wounded and tormented. Yet the writing in this book is much more subtle, more smooth, and the conflict is more psychological than physical. These two characters have the most excruciatingly rich and vibrant wedding-night sex I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot, at least in books) and yet when it's over Christopher can't even look Grace in the eye. You just ache for both of them, and the tension just builds and builds as Grace tries so desperately to heal the man she loves.
I won't go into plot specifics -- there's an escape, a lovely section about the Highlands, and Christopher is finally redeemed -- but believe me, this is the most innocent, hopeful, and yet the most sensual love story I have ever read.
If you only read ONE Jaclyn Reding romance in your life, (but you should read them all) read this one.

Very touching novel
But so many things left unanswered. How could he stay in Scotland? Did the Grandfather drop his awful request? what happened with poor Eleanor? And Lady Francis? Did she really cheat and let her husband be killed in a duel? So much I wanted to know but I still gave it four stars. She really loved her husband and when he was so cruel to her, and he was very cruel, she ran away and to her destiny in Scotland. I loved what she did for all those tenants and for the castle too. She truly was the Angel of the castle.

Una historia preciosa que no aburre en ningún momento y cuya portada no le hace justicia, el giro de la trama hacia la mitad del libro me ha encantado.
Quizás la prosa de esta autora no llegue al nivel de Kleypas, Quinn o Balogh, pero sus historias son preciosas y sus protagonistas no siguen el mismo patrón.

Me intereso por la trama, sin embargo conforme leía me fue gustando menos creo que no sentí que tuvieran alguna conexión o chispa entre la pareja, la protagonista al principio me gustaba pero después no me gusto nada .

So this book was my first by this author and let me tell you it will be my last.
I am very much disappointed with this book. When I first read the plot it had all the tropes I loved - marriage of convenience between strangers, a sort of enemies to lovers theme, mistreatment by the hero that led to an awakening of female independence within the heroine that I believed was going to lead to some seriously exciting (for me) but sincere grovelling from the hero and attempts to win back her love and affection... BUT NO!
This book was awful. Oh the author did a real good good job of appearing to tick all the boxes and tropes she hinted at in her book description. The writing was certainly superb and by that I mean no noticeable spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes that could have diverted my attention away from the story. Nor was there any odd and jarring use of modern phrasing in passages or dialogues that I sometimes find in historical books and which ruins the story’s flow.
BUT this just made it all the worse for when I realised, almost halfway through the book, what the real problem was - this book was utterly and completely lacking in any romance whatsoever. The romance wasn’t even tepid, it just wasn’t there. I felt strongly that the author had overdone the whole “I’ll take her to bed and then straightaway act cold towards her and condemn myself for potentially getting her pregnant” concept and it meant that any romance that could have developed was repeatedly stopped in its track. Now I know for certain it was this book and this author that failed to develop the romance since I’ve read many books with this same theme that have successfully created a blossoming romance, in which emotions and feeling were written so beautifully that I as the reader was completely drawn in, and couldn’t wait for the interactions between the hero and heroine.
The second half where the heroine whisks off to Scotland after having been rejected once again by the hero fared no better. The romance, or rather none-romance, was completely lost in the history lessons we were given on the Highland clearances. Now I’m quite a history enthusiast so it says a lot when even I got sick of the mindless historical facts and endless days of the heroine’s renovation of Skynegal Castle. The story was completely bogged down and at this point the romance between the main protagonists was non-existent. They were living in different countries and even before the heroine’s decision to settle in her Scottish castle there was barely any interaction between the hero and heroine.
This is one of my most disliked tropes in books in which the hero and heroine are separated throughout most of the book for no apparent reason or due to poor writing and poor content from the author - even then I find it very hard to justify why the hero and heroine should be separated for the majority of the book when it’s supposed to be a ROMANCE novel.
I thought the heroine, Grace, was actually quite nicely portrayed in the beginning. From what I read of her I thought she was brave despite being obviously naive and sheltered, and faced her arranged marriage with quite a sensible attitude. Her willingness to make a go of her marriage and be the best wife she could be given the circumstances seemed genuine to the times and a far cry from the gung-ho, over the top fury that some heroines of other books have been portrayed. This was also what had intially attracted me to the book. I liked her growing affection for Christian, believing when it came time for it, it would make Christian’s grovelling all the more satisfying. Yet this affection was just too ridiculous and overdone as she was far too quickly in love with Christian, which didn’t make sense at all since he was doing his best to be a cold-hearted ass to her. So her being in love was quite unbelievable and meant she transitioned from being a naive and sympathetic wife to quite ditzy and really contradicted and mocked her seemingly newfound independence.
The hero, Christian, I was quite indifferent to and disappointed we didn’t get to see any grovelling from him after the way he treated the heroine. I think one of the biggest letdowns of this book from the author was that there was never any drama, it actually felt very anti-climatic - the book description led me into believing that once the heroine left the hero there would be some epic grovelling and a true outpouring of emotion from the hero. Yet his response to her leaving him was so baffling and disappointing. As a reader it was quite obvious he didn’t care she’d left, despite the author’s attempts to portray the opposite. There are so many example of this:
‘soon half of London would think he was a wife-murderder’, ‘they are aware of Grace’s... relocation’, ‘with Cholmeley spouting off, soon all of London would know he had been adandoned by his wife before the ink was barely dry on the marriage documents’ - this line was particularly troubling since he was clearly more concerned about his reputation than Grace, despite pages-long descriptions about how sorry he felt and how remorseful he was (and contradicted his having supposedly developed feelings for her). Even his grandfather and the heroine’s uncle (who himself was inconsistently characterised since he was initially portrayed as an uncaring, greedy gambler of a guardian forcing his niece into marriage for money, but then did a 180 and all of sudden started to care for his niece) pointblank asked the hero why he was not out there looking for his wife. His arriving in Scotland was also completely anti-climatic, there was no grovelling, no real feeling of guilt or attempting to make it up to Grace, instead he felt it was more important to become the “Laird of Skynegel” and a whole new story seemed to sprout where he cared more for the people of Skynegel than on building a relationship with his wife! But I think part of that was because Grace herself was such a doormat, forgiving Christian almost immediately and continuing to harp on about how much she was “in love” with him despite all him ever doing was sleeping with her - seemed really dumb and shallow of her and again contradicted the author’s attempts to make her appear strong and independent.
Overall, this book was a complete disappointment. Particularly because I spent so long finding this book and was so excited to read it after initially reading an excerpt. Since I’ve read so many books of many different time periods I’ve gotten quite a good grasp of how good a book is in terms of characterisation, world building, historical setting, content and so on. Often I find I only need to read a few pages and at the most a few chapters to know if I’ll be carrying on with the book since my philosophy is why bother reading a badly written book when you could be spending that time reading a very well done book. That’s why I feel I’m even more disappointed with this book and I’ve really detailed my issues with this book and ranted on a bit. Hopefully, the author improves on her “romance” novels but I won’t be reading anymore to find out :(

Le iba a poner 4, pero no me gustó cómo resolvió el final.
Esta novela casi no tiene desarrollo en el romance, algo que me gustó mucho porque se centró en otras cosas importantes de los personajes, pero fue eso mismo lo que le jugó en contra al llegar al inevitable desenlace siendo que es una novela romántica.
Grace y Christian están a merced de parientes inescrupulosos, empezamos bien.
Él se muestra seguro de si mismo y es 'amado' por toda la sociedad. Ella es y se siente un sapo de otro pozo, es insegura y tímida, pero tiene las mejores intenciones.
Su primer encuentro es muy divertido, si bien no me gustó que él reaccione exactamente igual que lo hizo el protagonista del libro anterior. Pero lo dejamos pasar.
Pero Christian no es realmente lo que parece, y eso es el verdadero motor de la historia. Historia que luego de un buen tramo en el que casi no pude soltarla, repentinamente temí que se pusiera repetitiva.
Pero hacia la mitad del libro hay un muy bienvenido giro que lo cambia todo, y que hizo que me vuelva absolutamente parcial respecto de Grace.
Y de repente me encontré deseando
Ella es tan empática y él tan hosco que me vi dudando sobre cómo iba a remar esta situación para que él se reivindique a nuestros ojos.
Sobre los giros, salvando el de la mitad que fue genial, no me resultaron sorprendentes como en el libro anterior, que no tiene nada de malo.
Pero no me terminó de gustar cómo cerró el romance, ahi mi problema.
Siento que este libro debería haber tenido al menos 50 ó 100 páginas más en las que viéramos la verdadera evolución de Christian, al 75% del libro él me seguía cayendo mal.
Pero no, un día
La misma autora dice que se le ocurrió un libro 4 cuando estaba pensado que sólo fueran 3, y sembró la semilla al final de éste. Así que allá voy.

Christian (H) is one guy who has major secrets crushing him.
This story, hum, just an easy read. No major drama and really didn't get interesting until the last 1/3 of the book (which takes place in the Scottish highlands during the period of the "Clearance").
The first 2/3's of the story occurs in regency England. A marriage is arranged between the H and h who have never met. Christian (H) has no choice whatsoever in this and is forced against his will. So Grace (h) is the one who pays the price, in emotional abuse.
I never disliked Christian, he seemed a bit young for his 29 years. The weight of his secrets were so heavy for him, with no one to confide in to lift the weight or give him an alternate view, and so I forgive him for not thinking clearly on some of these issues.
Grace (h) was a sweetheart and I really liked her.
My thoughts after finishing reading is that there just wasn't any drama. Oh, there were likeable characters...deep dark secrets...issues and problems...lousey way of not dealing with them... The writing was good, it just that the substance was .... missing somewhat.
I'll give it 2.9 star rating. I don't think I would read another book by this author. It simply isn't my preference.

Great book...focus was on the romance, and while there were a lot of tropes here, they were done well. Loved the hero even though he was doing mean stuff to her most of the time, which takes some writing talent! Loved the pluck of the heroine. I do agree with the other reviewer--this book had a strangely abrupt ending. I mean, things were more or less tied up, but it was fast. Not sure what was going on there. Contract deadline or something.

awesome!
What a great book in the series, I enjoyed every second of it I couldn’t put it down and had to read it within a day. Can’t wait to read another one of Jaclyn Reding books❤️

Read This, You Won't Be Disappointed
Well written. Believable characters weave a story of Love. Love between a man and a woman, yes. But also love for a people and a way of life. Well done Ms. Reding! This is the first book I've read by this author but not my last!

wonderful tale
This is a tale of love and the history of what really happened during the ‘Improvements‘ or clearing of the Scottish Highlands. It kept me up for many nights.

Novela rosa, entretenida y con un romance muy lindo

This is a tale that had me in tears repeatedly, but I still loved it. I admired Grace's strength and passion for life and her ability to persevere no matter what he new husband Christian the Marquess of Knighton threw her way. His ways were cruel and calloused, but thanks to Ms. Reding's writing ability and the amount of time she put into developing her characters you still can't blame him only understand him. Grace does all that she can to make her marriage work, and when her ideas are depleted she flees. Only time will tell if Christian comes to his senses and follows.
I really can't wait to come across other books written by Ms. Reding. She is a marvelous writer with obvious ability who weaves a magically romantic story that with capture your heart. Enjoy!

Es sin lugar a dudas mi libro favorito de todos los que leí a lo largo de mi corta(en cuanto a libros no tanto)vida.
Es una de las historias más tiernas que conozco,llore,reí,me emocioné,me enoje y volví a llorar.
La historia es algo predecible pero tiene algo que desde las primeras páginas supe que me iba a encantar.Es uno de esos libros que te quedas leyendo hasta altas horas de las madrugadas en verano acostada en tu cama rodeada de un enorme silencio.
Si están buscando algo rápido y romántico pero no empalagoso para leer sin dudas este es su libro,de lo contrario no lo recomendaría mucho.

En si, la historia es bonita, con un buen desarrollo y personajes.
Solo que no me gusto el desenlace final,
Creo que fue muy corto, y me faltaron detalles por resolver, como por ejemplo: como termino finalmente la relación de Cristián con su abuelo.
Además, de que ella nunca se preocupaba por su seguridad y salud, lo que le acarrea un problema después....
Disfrute leyendo el libro, solo que el final me desconcertó un poco
3 estrellas

Leí esta historia cuando tenía 13 años y recuerdo que le gustó mucho. En esta ocasión recurrí a ella para salir de un bloqueo lector y funcionó. La historia es preciosa y no aburre en ningún momento, no recordaba muchos detalles de la historia así que la trama a la mitad del libro me encantó porque no lo esperaba. Es bastante fácil de leer, y me gusta mucho la sencillez de este. La portada siempre he creído que no le hace justicia a la historia.

loved this book of a family. Set in the scottish highlands in regency times. Stand alone story of Lord Christian and Grace a Married at first sight story at the altar. Great empathy, compassion and tears for me. Loved it.

Como odié al protagonista. Ese tipo de verdad que se merecía unos buenos golpes pero después reaccionó. Aunque no me dejó del todo satisfecha, espero leer algo más de esta autora.

Un libro que se lee rapido sin mayores pretensiones que entretener.

Me gustó...y ya descubrí el por qué no me encantan!...Es porque le falta el toque de humor...

Re lectura que disfrute como la primera vez. Un libro tierno y dulce con un romance bonito.
Perfecto para una tarde de pereza
