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.

Hi, Loreth Anne
Congratulations on finishing your 10th book. Wow! How long has it been since you published your first?
I just had a glance at the pictures from the RWA 2007 Conference and saw a picture of Bailey Stewart there. Unfortunately, I’ve been to her blog as often as to yours. My life seems to be going from crisis to crisis. I just wish it would leave me some time to concentrate.
I really enjoyed “Seducing the Mercenary” tremendously. You can come up with such a hero anytime you want. He’s a complex and lovable character. I found your insights into African life especially interesting. So few of us know what is really going on there. I know your story is not intended to portray any particular incident but the glimpses we get of village and other societies is surely based on your own observations. We need to care more in North America about what the people there feel and what is behind their lives. I believe yours is a step in the right direction.
I also finally found the other books of the series. So I read them in the order of 4, 3, 1 and 2. So is the next book also a Shadow Soldiers adventure?
I certainly also wish you happy “ski-ming” for your next books.

Yes the next book, THE HEART OF A RENEGADE is also a Shadow Solvier adventure, this one set in the Pacific Northwest. It comes out in March 2008.
It was fabulous to finally meet Bailey!! She’s one special lady.
My first book came out in 2003 — MELTING THE ICE, a Silhouette Intimate Moments. It’s been a fun ride
Thank you for stopping by!! Hope you are well.
