294. Loreth Anne White ~ Manhunter ~ SRS #1537 [Nov 2008] ~ Wild Country
I had the opportunity to get a copy of Loreth's latest book early and I jumped at the chance... 'cause I'm a reading addict and I like trying new authors. Well, with this story I've found a new favourite and auto-buy author. Not only did I love the taut thriller aspect to the story ~ I'm always up for Suspense ~ but the romance between two scarred and hurting people was wonderful. And the descriptions of the wilderness where Gabe and Silver found themselves hunting evil and fighting to survive gave me goosebumps. The action was detailed and very immediate; in many excellent ways, this story came across more as a novel ~ there was so much detail and heartfelt description that it was a big story masquerading as a shorter contemporary romantic suspense.... Fabulous! and a book that I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
On a personal note: Nearly two years ago our oldest daughter moved to Whitehorse, YT (Yukon Territory) and found the home of her heart. And while she's in Cairo, Egypt now (and could you have a greater contrast?) when she returns to Canada she will be returning to the North.. and we'll be visiting for sure! So, having a story set in the Yukon really brought to heart the reasons why my daughter loved it so much ~ she's such a non-city girl that one!
So while this story was fantastic to read, it also struck an emotional chord for me... and wasn't that perfect?

Lover...and prey
Sergeant Gabriel Caruso arrived in the remote Yukon wilderness with one goal: to erase all memories of the serial killer who had ruined his life. But he soon discovered that the madman was hot on his heels ~ and after anything that touched Gabe's heart. Including the local tracker Silver Karvonen.
As Silver plotted with Gabe to stop their predator, she matched more than wits with the Mountie. Even the icy tundra couldn't muffle the heat simmering between them. But for Silver and Gabe, love could very well be a matter of life and death.
