COLD CASE AFFAIR (4.5) by Loreth Anne White: The sad legacy of Safe Harbor, Alaska, is the bomb that killed 12 miners including Muirinn’s father. When her grandfather dies, Muirinn returns home for the first time in years and runs into Jett, the great love of her life, and the reason she’s stayed away.

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.

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.

…. can anyone spot the camouflaged feline on the couch below? Snuggled up with the SULTAN???
Her eyes are closed because she’s swooning over my SULTAN. Of course.
Bailey Stewart Says:
But she is very pretty. She’s a tortoishell. The shot was originally set up for my black/white Maine Coon Aidan, but he wouldn’t cooperate (something about boys not reading romances or some such nonesense), and Bubba and Baileyboo were a definite no-no, so I turned to calm old lady Neely Shae (10 in January). I didn’t even think about the background until after the photo was taken and uploaded. Poor little girl, she deserved a much prettier debut. I’ll have to try to put a picture of her on my blog sometime.
Bailey Stewart Says:
Oh, and the book deserved a great review!
Ruby55 Says:
Glad to see that Neely Shae is getting educated. Yep, it took me a while to find her between the colors of the sofa. But she’s there. So, Bailey, you and Bubba are reading “Rules…”? I bought it yesterday while I was getting meds. I didn’t want to be out for 3 hours just to come back with, well meds. I had to have something else to show for all that time.
Reading time has been hard to come by. I have several things that I’ve got to finish by tomorrow, and will if I’m lucky. Then I can get at a bunch of the books. Then I’ve got to hope that a friend will bring her digital camera to work so that I can be photographed in all my non-glory. Tonight I’m going to a seniors’ Christmas banquet with a friend. I don’t have that status legally in Canada yet, but my friend does. I’ve known a lot of these people for a long time so I won’t feel lost. It’s the seniors’ group at church. We shall be dining at the poshest golf club in the London, ON area.
I’m afraid that we’re in for your kind of weather soon, Loreth. Last night at 7:00 p.m. it was 14C, 57F. That’s supposed to be down to 50 right about now and steadily falling until we hit the minuses on Saturday. From the way I felt yesterday, I’d never have thought it was that “warm”. It was windy and drizzling and I was *cold* with my winter coat on.
Best wishes for the Marathon and the training. I hope to have some pictures for you when you get back, if not before. I know you’ll make us all proud.
Ruby55 Says:
And even though they’re of snowy scenes, or is it because of that, your pictures are great. I love to see the sun on ice, hoarfrost or snow. Or even snow-covered houses hidden amongst snow-covered trees.
Loreth Says:
Aw, Bailey … I’ll post another Neely Shae “debut” pic anytime. I was just kidding
I can see she is boootiful.
Loreth Says:
Ruby THANK YOU! I’ll let you know how it goes — lol, if I survive, that is. Looking forward to the photos!!! Stay warm.
Kristen Says:
Wow… I think I started a trend.
And she’s lovely – once I found her!!
