White Knight an all-new romantic standalone from New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss is available NOW!
The Cover: I love the cover of White Knight! But I wished it invoked more of Chris’ ‘white knight’ spirit to be honest. But the suited model does look nice. B+
Basics: White Knight was released on March 6th 2018, published by Flip City Media Inc and is 234 pages long. Genre wise White Knight belongs to contemporary romance.
Description: Catherine’s long-lost love is found.
Catherine Barrington is a rich girl. Chris Cartwright is a poor boy.
He left her to make something of himself. A man she could be proud of. A man she could bring home to her parents. A man she could marry.
On the trading floor he became the man he knew he could be. Now, it’s time to return.
Rich girl. Poor boy.
She didn’t care about his money, but he didn’t believe her. Soon after he left, all the money was gone.
Her life is hell.
Now he’s back, and he’s different. Pristine. Gorgeous. Rich.
Rich boy. Poor girl.
Money was never the barrier, until now.
Excerpt: I crossed the train tracks, looking both ways as if the freight ran on a thoroughfare. It was a few steps to the rows of mobile homes that defined that side of Barrington.
The playground was in a little clearing just west of the center of the trailers. My fingertips were cold, but the rest of my body thrummed and pulsed so hard that I made my own heat. I told myself I didn’t know what to expect from this meeting, but if I didn’t know what to expect, I knew what to hope, and they were pretty much the same thing.
“Catherine!” Chris wasn’t loud, but the excitement in his voice made him sound as if he were shouting.
“Chris?” I spun around, looking for him in the darkness.
And on a three-quarter turn, he crashed into me, all lips and hands, digging his fingertips into the muscles of my back as he pulled me close. I tasted the minty toothpaste in his mouth and thought he brushed his teeth for me. He kissed me as if he would never kiss me again. He kissed me as if this was the last kiss he would ever have in his life. As if he wanted to eat me alive. I’d given over my freedom and my choice to this thing with him, to this moment, to this stupid set of choices that would ruin me forever. As surely as the sun would rise, I was the designer of my own destruction.
I wanted to be destroyed by that kiss.
When Chris took my hand, I imagined I could feel the blood pulsing through the veins, the cells in his skin. I imagined that when my nerve endings vibrated at his touch, they connected to his somehow.
Everything felt new. I was discovering that my body had routes between one place and another that I never knew existed. I never knew that when a man touched my hand or kissed my nipples, I could feel it between my legs.
There was a click behind the tree line, and he stopped kissing me with a jerk. We froze long enough for him to smile.
Overall thoughts: White Knight was the perfect combination of childhood romance and second chance romance. Chris and Catherine aren’t exactly the modern day Romeo and Juliet but they come pretty close. Catherine is from a wealthy family and Chris is so immediately their families don’t mesh well. But when it comes to loving someone everything else becomes white noise really and Chris and Catherine couldn’t care about their status or how much money their families make.
Life sadly doesn’t always work out the way we want it and that is especially the case for Catherine and Chris when not only do they separate from each other for a long time, but their roles become reversed. I adore second chance romance because when it comes to love, I believe everyone deserves a second chance if that love is sincere and true. Catherine and Chris have that kind of love and I really enjoyed reading their story from falling in love with one another as kids, the angst and hurt of their separation and the joy and pure heart when they reunite again. White Knight in my opinion is one of CD Reiss’ best books and it will take me awhile to get over Catherine and Chris’ epic romance.

About the Author: CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up she’s at the well hauling buckets. Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She’s frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn’t ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood. If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
