THE BUZZ
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.”
–Thea Davis
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.

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.

*giggle* How awesome!
Does it count that when I rearranged the books at Borders the other day, that I put Rules in front of Nora’s books? I figured she didn’t need the publicity.
Bailey Stewart Says:
Oh, Happy Birthday Jeanne!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toni Anderson Says:
Happy birthday Jeanne!!
Awesome Loreth
What did she say when she found out you were the author??
Toni Anderson Says:
And the Sultan sold out? Oh my. Now My contest for December will be worth its weight in gold
Irene Says:
Hey I know Stacey (from shopping) !! Wait until I get down there (when the storms subside) to shop. I am waiting in her line up to buy my book(s) ! What a great giggle we will have.
I did not buy all your books, how would the rest of the public get to enjoy them if I did that. I am sure there were at least a couple left after I filled my basket !
Isn’t it crazy that you arrive in the aisle just as she is stocking your book. If you wrote that nobody would believe that kind of timing would ever happen.
Meretta ~ American Title Finalist Says:
Happy Birthday, Jeanne!
I love that you got to snap that photo!
Just so you know, my DH put your books cover out this past weekend at Chapters. He’s looking out for you!
Have fun running that Diamond Head. I bet theirs isn’t as pretty as yours. Though I wager it is warmer!
Loreth Says:
Aw — I have a GREAT team
LOL, Bailey … I’m sure Nora won’t mind 
And THANK YOU to Meretta’s DH. You have him well trained, girl!
Toni — worth it’s weight in gold in Squamish, maybe
