Go ahead and get comfortable. Kick your shoes off; put your feet
up. Pour yourself a glass of chilled Moscato, lean back, and relax.
Now, let's talk. Despite the apparent provocative and risque nature
of the title, Wild Orchid: Not for the timid is really about the
quest for self-actualization and the ability of the human spirit to
triumph over soul-crushing adversity-and thrive. It is also about
the power and unpredictability of love, the decisions we make in
the name of love, and the price we pay for forbidden love. All of
these themes are subtly interwoven into the less-than-perfect lives
of Wild Orchid's less-than-perfect characters, which are then
sprinkled with a measured dose of sexual abandon. The story is
fluid and fast-paced, as it takes you through Jessica and Terry's
meeting to their trip to Jamaica, as Terry and his partner, Pete,
pursue a lead in a major homicide case. The characters are vivid
and relatable and may elicit some strong emotional responses,
especially if you have experienced similar circumstances in your
life. Also, expect some surprises and twists. If there are any
takeaways from this book, they would probably be: (1) Don't ever
give in to that deceitful impulse to end your life. However dire
your circumstances may be, things can change in an instant. Never
give in; there is always more purpose in living. (2) To a large
extent, you have the ability to change the course of your life-at
anytime-by the decisions you make. So, choose wisely. (3) Finally,
as my wife often says, cheating means you are making potentially
life-and-death decisions not only for yourself, but for your
partner as well. So, look before you leap. Now that I have put the
book in context for you, you can sit back, relax, take a sip, and
dive right in. Oh, by the way, don't get it twisted-this book will
also ignite your erotic passions. Enjoy - I. St. A. R.
