"Wild Orchids" by Jude Deveraux

For the last year or so I’ve been writing reviews about the books I’ve been reading. I just started a new one about an hour ago. Normally, I wouldn’t write about the book until after I was finished and would proceed onto the review, except, this is a good one. I have this gauge I use for books. If I cry a lot it’s a good book. I call them three hanky tearjerkers. And, if a book rates as a three hanky tearjerker I really, really liked it.

I’m on page 29. I think I started crying about page 5. It’s an on again, off again sort of crying, but I have to tell you, this is one really good book. “Wild Orchids” by Jude Deveraux. I don’t even have to wait for the end to recommend it. If you don’t have anything better to do go on down to the library and check it out. And, if you can’t find that particular one anything by Jude Deveraux will do. She’s written a bunch of them and I’m betting that her other stories are just as good as this one.

Post Note: I finished the book. It's fabulous. I wrote the review at my other blog.

I never read any of hers but will add "Wild Orchids" to my plan to read list. Thanks for the tip.

If you like emotional books, you might like the one I wrote in memory of my dad, "My Funny Dad, Harry." Check out www.karenzemek.blogspot.com

LOL life is full of so much emotion, why would you want to make yourself cry over something fictional?
On the other hand why would someone want to make someone else cry?
Good books should make you feel good inside :)
