Have you ever had one of those days where you wish you
could start over or at least change a couple of things.
That is exactly how trauma surgeon Kate Marshall feels in
BLOOD ORCHID when she finds herself on the run with hunky
ex-Army doctor Jason Nolan. She had only planned to yell at
him
him for not being on duty and causing her to be the target
of
of an irate, grieving mother. Instead she gets shot at,
comes face to face with a shadowy group that are suppose to
be
be the good guys and almost gets blown up ... twice. Oh and
she keeps getting warnings from this old lady who
disappears ... just your everyday occurrences ... if you
live in an altered universe and not California.
BLOOD ORCHID is Shadows, book 2 by author Jenna Ryan
and it
follows closely the format of BLACK ROSE, book 1. The
action is instantaneous with just enough time to catch your
breath before the next volley. The Crucible is back, he was
the head guy in the previous book, because the answers in
BLACK ROSE don't
completely satisfy the
Shadow and so the action continues.
In BLOOD ORCHID, we have Drs. Jason Nolan and Kate Marshall
on the run, but it looks like they have been "running" from
each other for a long time. As you turn the pages, you will
find they have been fighting an attraction for each
other. He believes she deserves better, and she fears he is
too volatile for her taste, even if he is gorgeous and sexy
as all get out. He has a past that has left him troubled
and cold-hearted, and Kate prefers safe. Or does she?
The action is twisted in an intriguing way, with so much
happening there is no time to put the book down let alone
breath. To be honest in the beginning I wasn't sure I
liked the good doctors, but as I continued reading they
grew
on me, with their interesting quirks and strengths and
determination to see this end so they can get back to
their, if not happy, then satisfying lives. When they do
finally give in to what Nolan says is "lust" it is
explosive, well written, and you just know is going to lead
to more than temporary. BLOOD ORCHID is better than the
first and though this one is set in California, there is
still that
hint of the Louisiana bayou, voodoo,
superstitions and "ghostly" help. I cannot wait to get my
hands on the next of Ms. Ryan's Shadows.
It takes more than an ominous warning to scare trauma
surgeon Kate Marshall into hiding. The patient who just
died
on her table had connections to a crime lord with a vicious
reputation for revenge. However, when a ghostly figure
appears right before bullets start whizzing past her head,
Kate is forced to admit she’s stumbled into a Twilight Zone
of trouble.
Ex-army doctor Jason Nolan should have been on duty at the
hospital, but ghosts from his past drove him to numb his
burned-out soul in the back booth of a waterfront bar. When
the tall, leggy, Grace Kelly lookalike tracks him down to
give him a piece of her razor-sharp mind, he figures he
deserves it.
But Kate doesn’t deserve to be stalked by a shadowy serial
killer with a motive that extends all the way to the
Louisiana bayou and ties to a past Nolan would like to
forget. Only Nolan can help Kate navigate the terrifying
path that lies ahead. A path riddled with voodoo,
superstition and death.
Warning: Contains shadowy voodoo curses, ancient death
traps
and passion that sparks and burns as the danger escalates.
