Blog Tour: An Ode for Orchids by @jamesfantjr #review #giveaway



 Romance
Date Published: August 30, 2012

Meet Dawn, Brook, Cicely and Karen: four cousins raised under the Southern sun. Their grandmother called them orchids and taught them to be independent, intelligent, chaste and courageous. So why does Dawn depend on a drug dealer? Why can't Brook see that her husband is cheating on her? Why is Cicely so promiscuous? Why is Karen so afraid of rejection? But most importantly, why does Cicely hate Karen enough to want her DEAD?

"An Ode for Orchids" is the story of four beautiful young women who want to love and be loved. But will their love outlive the lies and abuse? Is their love strong enough to survive the hatred?


Review

This is a beautiful and vibrant book cover. 

I loved that these characters were related and entwined, yet living their own lives and dealing with their own issues. They were all unique and had their own stories. I liked how the author managed to make me as the reader feel connected to each of them individually. 

I think this was a deep and emotional Family Drama with Romance and Heartache and several other things weaved in. 


James Fant is an award winning author who lives in Charleston, SC. When he’s not reading everything from business management to mysteries or “entertaining” his family with piano solos and spoken word, James writes inspirational romance and suspense that warms the heart and hopefully makes readers laugh—in public.
The idea for An Ode for Orchids came from his appreciation of the enduring strength and tenacity of all of the women in his life: his hardworking mother, loving grandmother, strong sisters (related and non-related), no-nonsense aunties, and last but definitely not least, his beautiful wife.
