A fast-paced intellectual thriller from award-winning author CB Samet. Whyte Knight is book two in the Lillian Whyte adventure series, though they can be read in any order. This series contains some violence and language.

A thrilling continuation of Sean and Lillian and their story from book 1. Best if book 1 is read first but not a must. Exciting romantic suspense novel with lots of twists and turns. Fantastic characters! Hold on for the ride and enjoy!!
Lillian and Sean’s adventure continues in this second installment in the Dr. Whyte Thriller Series. They are such wonderful characters. They are both strong, determined, and supportive. The side characters are great, and intriguing. The world building is intricate, and suspenseful. I like the action, the mystery, and the twists and turns throughout the story. Once again, Leslie Howard did a fantastic job with the narration. I can’t wait to listen to the next installment in the Series, Gray Horizon.
Great read!! Enjoyed this book, though I haven’t read the first in the series yet, which I’m not sure how I started with the second book. It was obvious I missed some good stuff that led up to this one but I didn’t feel lost; still want to go back and read the first one now. In Whyte Knight, Dr. Lillian Whyte is enjoying her new life with her husband and “former” CIA operative Sean Jennings…until they find themselves in the middle of a terrorist involving a deadly disease in the form of a genetically modified biological weapon. Can they stop this terrorist organization before widespread irreversible damage is done and will they survive it? Find out in Whyte Knight. Recommend this book.
Audiobook.
Whyte Knight is a closed door romantic suspense that is best enjoyed by those who appreciate more action/suspense than romance as well as detailed medical information. Set six years after the first book in the series, Black Gold, we’re reunited with Dr. Lillian Whyte and her CIA operative husband Sean Jennings. I liked that C. B. Samet gave our couple a few years of marital bliss before tossing them into the middle of a terrorist plot to acquire biological weapons. Personally, I’m not a fan of flashbacks as a literary device to bring readers up to speed and there were quite a few in this book. However, I still enjoyed this book immensely.
Sean & Lillian are in Montreal for a “book signing” of his latest release and to do some sightseeing. Lillian is aware that Sean is still part-time CIA and often uses his book tours to do some covert passing of sensitive information. This time things go wrong in so many ways and Lily is sucked in to his operation, much to Sean’s dismay. Another thing that I appreciate about Samet’s work is that while Lily & Sean are both experienced and competent at their jobs, things don’t always go perfectly for them. This adds a level of realism sometimes lacking from other thrillers. There was also a nice twist in distinguishing villain from ally.
Leslie Howard repeats her fantastic performance from the first book. She gives each character, even from other countries, consistent and distinguishable accents. She evokes emotion and tension in a way that complements the action.
Trigger Warnings (possible spoilers):
A few deaths and instances of peril. Lily describes complex medical procedures in detail.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from Story Origin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
