The title pretty much says it all. I love Jayne in the past, present and future. This is one of her earlier future stories. She mixes SciFi, fantasy and romance in interesting and absorbing ways. The plots are tight. Her heroes and heroines are capable, likeable and interesting. Her villians suitably evil. I have never read any of her novels that I didn't enjoy (and I think I have read just about all of her books including those by Stephanie St. James!). Orchid is one of three books books loc...

The title pretty much says it all. I love Jayne in the past, present and future. This is one of her earlier future stories. She mixes SciFi, fantasy and romance in interesting and absorbing ways. The plots are tight. Her heroes and heroines are capable, likeable and interesting. Her villians suitably evil. I have never read any of her novels that I didn't enjoy (and I think I have read just about all of her books including those by Stephanie St. James!). Orchid is one of three books books located on the planet of St. Helens where the heroes and heroines have to work together to control their psychic abilities. Together they are an unbeatable combination. Jayne then moved her 'future' books to the planet of Harmony where she came up with the interesting idea of writing books in a series of threes where one novel of each series in written in the past of Victorian England, the second is contemporary in present day America and the third is located on the planet of Harmony in the future. Each story has a central theme that ties the three stories together. But wherever they are located in space or time, they are great reads!
The only criticism I have is that I wish she would write faster as I am impatient to read her next book! Hey Jayne, do you really need eight hours of sleep a night?
