MANHUNTER dishes up “Creepy chills” - 1st review is in!
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.

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.

Toni Anderson Says:
Sheesh!!
Be careful!!! Did I ever tell you my bear banger story? I bet I did
My banger shot out of a gun thing that looked like a revolver. I’d rather meet a bear than a cougar too.
Loreth Says:
LOL — much easier to run with a pencil flare and rockets in your bum bag than with a gun and rockets
:)
You’ll have to refresh us on your banger story??
Jessica Raymond Says:
I think that’s a perfectly valid reason

I was at a small waterfall in deepest northern Labrador. Been there every day for six weeks. Suddenly (the first time in six weeks I’d needed the facilities) a black bear saunters down to the falls. The next day I arrange to get one of those revolver things complete with a two second lesson from some guy on how to use them.
Next day, same time, the bear comes back, so we head up to the rocks on top of the falls (3 of us in waders and stinking of Arctic charr) and watch this bear approach from a long way down the valley–I load my firework and thread the cap. Caroline forgets her camera and nips down the rocks to the coolers holding the equipment below. Starts shouting, ‘A bear, a bear!’ Well we already know there’s a bear, except she means another one that must have been watching us the whole time and came out to explore when we moved fifteen feet away. And THEN, I turn around and there’s another black bear strolling down the river towards us.
I got on the radio but my pilot (23) just sniggered and said he was refueling and it would be at least 7 minutes before he come come…seven minutes??? We were within twenty feet of three hungry black bears wearing waders (me not the bears). I fired a rocket straight between the bear’s ears, very impressive shot considering my hands were shaking and then this big helicopter, the type they used in ‘Nam roared overhead and the pilot saved the day. I saw this massive black bear run up a scree hill as fast as any racehorse I’ve ever seen. I have a serious respect for bear power.
Long story LOL. Happy memories, mainly because I didn’t jump in and drown in my waders
