5.0 out of 5 stars Wildly romantic 24 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I loved this book. The idea is so intriguing and the characters so endearing that I devoured it in two sittings (interrupted only by my own call of the wild, my garden). The interplay of the unschooled Joya and very proper Trevor made for perfect chemistry. Part "African Queen," part Cinderella, and wholly entertaining. Give yourself a treat and read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Orchid Hunter 12 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ms. Landis has written a wonderfully refreshing romp that has proven her versatility as a talented writer. This novel has something for everyone. The exotic jungle setting will capture the interest of the adventurous reader. And the compelling characters and storyline will satisfy fans of her earlier works, such as WILDFLOWER and JUST ONCE, which also had fun and fiesty heroines like the free-spirited Joya of THE ORCHID HUNTER. This book has now become my #1 all-time favorite by Jill Marie Landis.

5.0 out of 5 stars A haunting historical romance 7 Mar 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1850 Joya Penn loves living on Matarenga but it sometimes gets very lonely being the only white woman on the African island. Though she is for the most part content with her life, Joya feels a deep need to go to England, the home of her parents. She feels that part of her, the girl she always draws pictures of, resides in England. However, Joya feels her chances of going to the land of her ancestors is remote. It is even less likely that she will be marrying anyone since most of the islanders feel uncomfortable around her and her father would forbid it anyway.

Everything changes when Trevor Mandeville arrives on the island seeking the perfect orchid for Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. He realizes that Joya is the lost twin of his adopted sister. Joya accompanies Trevor back to England where she is joyfully united with her sibling. Joya falls in love with Trevor. However, he is a stickler to convention, but the only conventions she knows are African not English. Unless love finds a way, this culture-crossed duo is doomed to a lifetime of unhappiness.

Jill Marie Landis paints two wonderful landscapes as a part of mid nineteenth century Africa and England vividly come to life in THE ORCHID HUNTER. The entertaining and often humorous story line features two notable lead characters, but clearly the tale belongs to the joyous Joya whose uninhibited nature takes Victorian London by storm, sending the "White Man's Burden" into clear disarray. The secondary romance starring Joya's sister adds to the overall fun. Ms. Landis has scripted a sensual storyline filled with vibrancy. This author creates some of the best historical romance writers' on the market today.
