Orchid

St. Helen’s Series, Book 3

By: Jayne Castle

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

The wildly popular alter ego of best-selling author Jayne Ann Krentz creates "delectably entertaining paranormal romantic suspense" (Booklist) in the "unique, synergistic world of St. Helen's" (Library Journal), the not-so-distant space colony where hearts and minds are gloriously in sync.

A top psychic for exclusive Psynergy Inc., Orchid Adams has her hands full with a baffling murder - which doesn't exactly allow time for husband hunting. Is it even possible there's a man on St. Helen's who measures up to her dreams of wedded bliss? Take her new client, Rafe Stonebraker: Primitive and elemental, an unlicensed PI with some serious secrets, Rafe is hardly marriage material. So why does his powerful presence have Orchid imagining the most outrageous affair?

Rafe is embroiled in solving a strange theft while thwarting a hostile takeover of Stonebraker Shipping; he needs a wife - and fast - to salvage his credibility. Orchid Adams doesn't fit the profile he had in mind, but she fits in his arms. Will their electrifying connection end up getting them burned?

The romantic and the cynic.

An oldie but a goodie, I’m always a fan of Jayne Castle and I read this series of books way back when I was younger. I will admit I liked them better when I read them, than when I listened to them. But that also might be the difference of my age back then as to now. Also, I have read so much since then that taste do change. Even still I enjoyed the romance and the world building that was created.

Narrator could be better

Another great Harmony story. The narrator uses a tinny, whiny voice for the female lead character. It’s grating after a short while.

Fun listen

Cute world building, nice romance sprinkled with a little paranormal sci fi. Got the rest of the series while it was on sale.

An “old” favorite- Light Fantasy Romance Suspense

I first read this trilogy many years ago. It’s light, quirky and sexy with capable & confident heroes who appreciate intelligent women that end up complicating their lives. Castle/Amanda Quick/Jane Ann Krentz is my “go to” author for Pick Me Up reads & I’ve read this many times over the years. The heroines are unique- choosing the road less traveled & spunky. Both characters are psychic/paranormal (talented) but not in a witchy, mage or horoscope sense - it’s more physical, like an extra “sense.” The trope is Proximity/Danger, a favorite. This was my first time “reading” w audio & Tanya Eby read the voices well.

Awesome

Loved it. All three books in this series were great. I love everything she writes.
