Meretta Pater and Toni Anderson
Have I mentioned how special these two people are?
One of the things I never expected when I when I turned my pen to writing romance instead of news was the people in this business. They’re special. And these are two of the best in the industry. And if I sound sappy, well … that’s because I am 
Welcome to my slice of life in B.C.’s wild and wet coast mountains. This ’running commentary’ is less about writing than it is a small window – often visual — into the life of a romance writer, on the run.
I hope to get to know my readers this way, and I hope you get to know me … just a little better.
From Romantic Times BOOKreview
After Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Gabe Caruso can’t save his fiancee from a sadistic serial killer, he has trouble dealing with the guilt. His only consolation is that he put the man in jail. Cutting himself off, Gabe takes a post in Black Arrow Falls, a small town in the Yukon. There, he meets tracker Silver Karvonen, a woman with secrets of her own. Both are stunned to feel the pull of attraction. Then the killer escapes, and Gabe knows that trouble is on the way. Loreth Anne White serves up some creepy chills in Manhunter (4), as a serial killer wages both psychological and physical warfare. This compelling tale, part of the Wild Country series, features two emotionally scarred people who discover that being together makes them stronger.

From The Romance Reader:
“THE HEART OF A RENEGADE is a skillfully crafted novel, packed with complex characters involved in a well-used plot line; however, it is innovatively done. Loreth Anne White’s pacing is superb, maintaining ever mounting intensity as the story plays out. This story is rich with detail, and a plot that could be expanded to a 450 page hardcover. That said, it does not feel as if it were condensed but evolves in the expected manner only to twist and turn a bit adding interest and suspense. The dynamics between Jessica and Luke are extraordinarily well handled.
White is a very gifted author and whose future novels will be sought out by this reviewer.”

A TOP PICK from Romantic Times BOOKreview for THE HEART OF A RENEGADE
“Luke Stone is just like a stone. After his pregnant wife is murdered, he closes up emotionally, until his employer asks him to protect Jessica Chan, who’s a target of the Chinese Triad Dragons for attempting to expose their atrocities. Luke doesn’t want to be responsible for anyone, and he’s surprised to find a kindred spirit in Jessica. When they’re on the run with only each other to lean on, their emotional barriers crumble. The Heart of a Renegade (4.5) is an action ride full of thrills and surprises and a love story that will make your heart beat faster.
Loreth Anne White has expanded her Shadow Soldiers series, and intriguing and dynamic characters continue to make it compelling.
—Sandra Garcia-Myers
And a five-star review from CataRomance.com:
From the instance THE HEART OF A RENEGADE starts, one will take an indrawn breath and continue to gasp until the explosive ending. The danger is believably suspenseful with heart-pounding threats, and how they are carried out is terrifying realistic. Just when one thinks all is going smoothly for the hero and heroine, more peril crops up and they must once again fight for their lives.
Luke and Jessica are one of the most endearing couples about whom I have had the pleasure to read, and their compelling story profoundly touched me. Whether they are fleeing from the enemy or expressing exactly how they feel on a subject, their actions are authentic and make them seem very true-to-life. Ms. White had me caring for this couple and what the future holds for them, causing numerous tension-filled moments during the story. THE HEART OF A RENEGADE masterfully evokes images and feelings to create an enthralling plus emotional story which never disappoints.

Loreth Says:
Thanks Eve … steal away
And I haven’t even got STARTED on those two yet. Hah .. the gauntlet is down ….
Toni Anderson Says:
Ahhh… Loreth, that is so sweet. Sniff.
Toni Anderson Says:
Look at the angle on that photo LOL! What a height difference
Eve Says:
Sure, blame it on the angle …
Meretta Says:
Phew! I finally made it in! My browser (for whatever reason) did *not* want to let me comment on this post. Had to ditch Firefox and come in under IE steam. But I digress (what else is new?).
So yes. Blame it on the angle, Toni, but we all know you are the shortest of da bunch. We three bump up like steps on a stair. Three guesses who’s the tallest?
And Loreth, I *love* that you keep posting pics of me in my red granny dress. Any plans to stop soon? Please?
I don’t know why oh why I wore that dress. I hate it with a passion. Oh right. Now I remember. I didn’t have any money left to buy something new after I paid for the plane ticket to Reno! 
Meretta Says:
That’s a lot of winking, I’m doing in the last post. Not used to seeing it in yellow. It’s bit daunting. This is me not digressing again. Really.
Came back to say, Thanks, Loreth! You’re a special one too! manners!?)
Meretta Says:
Okay. Must. Remember. To. Slow. Down. And not hit enter like a madwoman.
Last sentence in above post should read… Where are my manners?!
