Review "I am blown away!! Floored!!! Knocked on my bootie by this book!! I was not prepared for the kind of reaction I got while reading Purple Orchids by Samantha Christy! This book was phenomenal and I cannot wait to dive into the rest of the series! I was angry messaging the author at about the half way point until the end of the book. That is how much it affected me! I couldn't hold it in! The kind of book that just guts you, makes you hates characters, and then has you yelling at your kindle "no this cannot be happening!!!" This is a huge 5 star read!" ~ Just Me and My Kindle Blog "One of the most surprising things about Purple Orchids was how adept Samantha Christy is at writing the voice of a twenty-year-old man. The way his love for Baylor transformed him was a glorious thing to witness, and even the wildly swinging emotions was exactly what you'd expect from new adults. I like that the story switches perspectives, because in a story like this you really want and need to hear both sides. So many stars had to align for everything to happen that you know neither character could get out of it unscathed. The aftermath of the revelation was tense, emotional and heart-wrenching. This is a story worth reading and savoring." ~ Natasha Jackson for Readers' Favorite

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Best book of 2015 so far! By Sawyer Belle I very rarely give five stars unless a work completely sucks me in, keeps me engaged and blows me away, and for the first 50% of this book, I knew I was giving it 5 stars. Where it lost that fifth star was in the last 40%.Baylor Mitchell is the antithesis of every person, every female, in Gavin McBride's world. He comes from old Texas money and she comes from a salt-of-the-earth family of hardworking American Dream earners. When they (and their worlds) collide on a college campus, it sets off a beautifully-written and enchanting love story. The romance blossomed in a natural progression, with plenty of sweet/cute moments, laugh out loud moments, and plenty of moments of raw passion.As admitted in the Book Description, the couple is torn apart by a lie and the second half of the tale is about the couple reclaiming their long lost love.The first part of the book is written entirely from Gavin's POV, and the author's handling of it was clever and believable, with humor reminiscent of the book Tangled. The constant "dick twitching" was just a tad excessive, but again - it's from the male POV so is likely spot on. :)I absolutely loved watching Baylor and Gavin fall in love. I loved watching that love transform him, and I kept holding my breath, waiting for "the lie" that tore them apart. The problem with "the lie" when it came was that the author had developed such a strong, sure bond and relationship between the hero and heroine that it seemed unbelievable that they would instantly turn from thinking the world of each other to thinking the worst. And with a villain so obvious as well. But new adults don't always make the wisest of choices.The reconciliation in the second half is pretty swift and, therefore, the book could have been wrapped up around the 60-70% mark, in my opinion. I'm not saying that the last 40% of the book wasn't entertaining. It was just a little irrelevant and seemed more like just a bunch of stuff happening.When you fall in love with a story and you get that feeling of "I wish it would never end," it's always a treat when the author takes you a bit beyond that moment of the HEA. For me, the last 40% of the book took us beyond the moment we knew the H/h would be together forever. It just took us a little too far beyond it until I really did want it to end. Not in a bad way. I still always loved the characters, but it got to a point of "okay - I'm ready for closure now."Now that I've given my criticism, I must follow it up by saying that this is the best book I've read this year, and quite possibly the best in the last 7 months. Samantha Christy is a writer who I fully expect to transcend the indie sphere. Her talent deserves it, and I will be picking up her other books, for sure. In her Acknowledgments, she thanked her betas for helping her put out a book that could rival a traditionally-published novel, and she is absolutely right. It could.Without hesitation, I recommend this book 100%.
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Baylor's POV was ok, but Gavin's POV was filled with tired cliches By RedRedtheycallmeRed This book takes place in present day and eight years earlier, when the characters were in college. I liked parts of the present day stuff, but I hated the college stuff.Let's see how many tired NA cliches the "past" chapters held:Manwhore H? Check.Blushing virgin h? Check.Unicorn h? Check. (She didn't wear makeup! She wasn't clingy! She ate burgers and fries! Instead of designer dresses she wore Dr. Suess t-shirts and converse! She was Just. So. Real.)All other women besides the h were disposable sluts or scheming bitches? Check.A huge misunderstanding that could have been resolved with a 30 second conversation? Check.I've read this so many times already, there isn't anything new here, and I was bored. Thankfully, eight years later changes from Gavin's POV to Baylor's and the book got better. Baylor's skittishness was relatable, she hasn't seen/heard from this guy in eight years, she really doesn't know him anymore. But the fact that Baylor (a published author with 13 books) and Gavin (a film producer) were both staunchly avoiding social media for eight years is way too implausible. COME ON! Little things like this add up to major eye rolls.Baylor's BFF Callie was annoying in her judgmental-ness, why does she keep taking Gavin's side when she doesn't even know him? It's been TWO MONTHS after nothing for eight years and she accuses Baylor of "stringing him along"? That's a crappy friend. Baylor didn't just have herself to consider and I thought it was wise to think things through.The end of the book shifts back to Gavin's POV. I liked Baylor's thoughts on where home was for her and how money (and ocean views) can't buy that. The epilogue was sweet and exactly how I thought it would end.

Amazing doesn't even begin to cover Samantha Christy's Purple Orchids By Amazon Customer Amazing doesn't even begin to cover Samantha Christy's Purple Orchids. I saw the book last night while perusing my kindle unlimited options and the first review I saw said something lie "Best book I've read in 2015." That review is the truth. I've read hundreds of books and although there have been many that stand out, Purple Orchids is the best book I have read to date. My stomach had butterflies and my chest pinched from reading the narrator's words. I highly recommend Purple Orchids and I am downloading another Samantha Christy book as I type! Great read!
