Since his wife's death, world-famous author Ford Newcombe has lived a solitary life, void of creativity - or love. Then Jackie Maxwell tears down the walls of his isolated world with her sassy wit and fierce intelligence. Ford's heart is touched by his vivacious assistant - and his imagination sparked by her knowledge of a strange story that drives them to a small North Carolina town brimming with secrets. There, they will trace the mystery of a woman said to have loved the devil himself... and discover not only the truth about a crime from the past - but a passion that holds the promise of a new life together.
Jude Deveraux, whose "enchanting and extraordinary" (Chicago Daily Herald) novels have enthralled millions, creates two of her most memorable characters in this powerful best seller.

This was the first book by this author I did not like. I didn't enjoy the characters or the way they were laid out in the book with every chapter about a different character. I could not empathize with any of the characters and could hardly wait for the book to end. The end was very disappointing and just stopped with No clear idea of what was going to happen. She has written so many page turner books but inMy opinion only this book was just plain strange. I wish I could say one good thing and I guess that would be the cover art was pretty.....

Wild Orchids A Novel (Audible Audio Edition) Jude Deveraux Alan Nebelthau Kate Skinner Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews
It was intriguing and kept you in suspense enough to continue to reading wanting to know if it was myth, love story, or horror. I think it gave a little bit of all 3. There was never a doubt the minute I started reading that I would read it to the end. It capture in.
I have been reading Jude Deveraux's books for about 12 years. I think that this book symbolizes a certain maturity in her writing. Yes her romances were phenomenal. But so is this book. Everything from the fact that the devil is in jeans and is just exactly what you'd expect the tempter that satan was to be in human form, down to the young girl's slow fall in love with the older man... turn this into an enjoyable read. I read books aloud for a small group of my friends once or twice a week. We had gotten burned out on romance and were ready for a change. This has been a good change. We are a diverse group and we have all enjoyed working our way through this book.
Have you ever started a book and not been able to get into it? I did just that several times. I love this author and have read most of what she has written. I wanted one of her books so I started this one again, and pushed through. Thank goodness I did. This book is one of her best. You must read this if you are a fan. It shows an entire different side of this talented writer.
I'm not sure if I liked this book. It wasn't really what I expected. I felt as though the author was channeling Stephen King, and not in a good way. There was not much cohesiveness between the characters, so the romance seemed flat. Maybe this was an experiment, an attempt to stretch as a writer? If so, I think someone had a charley horse.
Simply put...I enjoyed this read. I enjoyed seeing the same situation through both characters senses. I enjoyed seeing the Devil (ex-Heaven resident) be a character in this story. He is protrayed as he was made...something beautiful (ex-angel...as do you ever see an evil looking angel?)vs the red-horned devil we are used to seeing. I enjoyed the story premise. I try not to limit myself to an author ALWAYS writing each book the same way. When an author has a large library of characters I feel it is nice to see them stretch their imagination and not try and limit themselves. I wish more readers would simply allow all the walls built around an author fall down and enjoy the story. If a person was telling the story as a storyteller would I think we would all pull up a chair and listen to a good tale. Simply put. I have enjoyed this author's hardback's and feel she has grown. Go Jude !!!
I have read dozens of Jude Deveraux's books and loved them, but I would have to put this at the bottom of the heap. I started it, put it down and came back to it after reading a few other books. I wanted to know what was going on in the town but found the back and forth point of view annoying and started skimming pages at the beginning of next viewpoint change because it was repetitive. The romance was blah and the end was a letdown that didn't make much sense.
Deveraux alternates between her two main characters telling the story in first person. Ford Newcombe is a writer who has lost his wife of 21 years, and both his beloved in-laws, as well as the will to write. Enter Jackie Maxwell, half his age, health conscious and feisty; a very unlikely couple.
Ford and Jackie grope their way toward a working relationship at first, without any of the usual "falling in lust" of a typical romance novel. They find ways of making their differences mesh instead of working against each other.
What brings them together in the beginning is Jackie's devil story, which Ford wants to research and write. They soon discover that there is something much more sinister behind the story, and that it may be more than just a tale told by her mother to scare her.
The paranormal in this book is more chilling than horror and is very well done. I didn't like Deveraux's other attempt at paranormal, the Forever trilogy. This one is quite different and gave me goosebumps without giving me nightmares.
To give you an indication of how much I liked this book, I read the paperback, and as soon as I finished reading, I bought the e-book for my .
