Science Fiction/Fantasy and Romance go together perfectly in my opinion, and nobody combines the two better than Jayne Castle. Orchid is the third in Castle's St. Helens space colony series, and the best of the lot.Orchid Adams is, like the heroines from the other two books in the series (Amaryl ...
Have you ever watched a school play? The kind where inexperienced but passionate actors tromp from one set spot to another, and then stop and give exaggerated speeches, only to move on to the next spot?
