I enjoy anything written by Jayne Castle or any of her other pseudonyms - Jayne Krentz or Amanda Quick. The characters are believable and likable, she also has a great way of painting the story, she is not as erotic as some of the other authors I enjoy. But she is one I keep coming back to time again. And this book was no exception - ORCHID is a re-read for me, a love story set in a futuristic time. And was just as enjoyable as the first time I read it.
Rafe Stonebraker, a dark and moody (got to love the bad boy thing) that is a high level strat-talent. His psychic abilities gives him the hunting instincts of an animal. Rafe is planning to take over his grandfather's position as CEO in order to save the company. But he needs a wife. Sounds like trouble!!
Orchid Adams is a strong prism who works at Psynergy Inc. She is also a writer of romance psychic vampire novels. Her family are all academics who live and work in a research center community. She helps Rafe with simple investigations by adding him with her psychic abilities. Orchid is a strong and intelligent heroine, that gives as good as she gets.
Once again Jayne Castle created an exciting New World with interesting characters and language inhabiting it.
