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.

Such a young pup. Hope he goes deep into the wilds and finds a lovely cave next to a stream full of Cutthroat

Oh gosh, that’s close. My MIL’s summer house is on Horsefly Lake & last summer a mature bear walked right up to her living room windows. Liz made herself big & stomped.
The bear stood up on its hind legs & put its paws on the window. There was a bit of a stand off while my Liz hollered for my FIL to come & do something! Finally the bear decided to leave & everyone heaved a sigh of relief about the strength of good double-glazed windows.
We have bears in a large urban forest about 5 km from my house but I haven’t seen one yet & frankly, don’t want to. Hope your little guy finds his safe turf soon.
Loreth Says:
Ah — dh has been trying to get me to Horsefly forever. (the fishing, you see) But what can I say? … there’s something about that name
I must get over my prejudice and give it a try …
Thanks for sharing the story. Scary.

Hopefully he learns to avoid people. A squirrel may get away with stealing some food from humans, like the Kinder squirrel here in Finland, but a bear who is too fond of food that people use is very soon in big trouble.

Hopefully he will grow up to be a big fellow that feeds on his natural food sources.
Lots of berries out there right now, lots of bear “droppings” that look like they are getting their fill.
We had a young male at our back door with the screens pulled over only - must say that is the first time I have truly been scared of a bear after many many encounters.
He was on his hind legs and I was speechless (yes, me speechless) when I found my voice I yelled “bear” and he ran off. A little close to an open door for me.
Cheers, Irene
Loreth Says:
IRENE WAS SPEECHLESS!!!!!!!!!!!???? Now this would have been something to witness
Hope your summer is going well … am wondering if your mum is here …
Irene Says:
She came and went while you were away.
She is looking forward to your new releases. She has read every one of your books….and loves them.
Yes, speechless, but for only a moment.
