The Orchid Affair Audiobook

" Another great book in The Pink Carnation series. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and can't wait for the next. The excellent blending of two stories in one always keeps me reading well into the night. "

" yay for bringing us back to the spying, th eoriginal plot and a cameo form the purple gentian. I liked that there was spying in this novel again, it seems the past few didnt really play around with that too much. loved this one! "

" This was one of the more enjoyable books for me in this series. I especially appreciated the return to the basic mission/purposes of the Pink Carnation and her network of spies. "

" Pink Carnation meets The Sound of Music and Les Miserables. One of my favorites in the series. "

" This is the best of the series since The Masque of The Black Tulip. Willig writes two truly fantastic characters with Laura and Andres, and the action-adventure is back at an all time high when things get sticky under Napoleon's thumb. I absolutely loved this book, and the development of the romance was probably the most well done since The Seduction of The Crimson Rose. I adored this installment! "

" Loved this one. A little Jane Eyre, a little Scaramouche, a bit more actual dangerous-spying-on-the-Frenchies than we've had in awhile...just what I like. Plus, a leading couple who are both over thirty, with all the life lessons, baggage, and bad habits that entails. Does Willig write these just for me? I'm starting to think so. "

" Better than the last two, The Orchid Affair by Lauren Willig reminds me how much I enjoy her writing. Witty, romantic and fun! "

" I have enjoyed all of the books in the Pink Carnation series but The Orchid Affair has been my favorite of them all. "

" This one was intriguing, and I'm beginning to see the end of the series - in a good way. The overall storyline is beginning to loop back around in a way that makes perfect sense. "

" Longer review to come--this is both a departure from earlier installments and a return to "tradition" or the beginning or whatever. I really liked this a whole bunch, but have a few quibbles...more in the morning... "

" The Pink Carnation saga returns to post-Revolution France, with much intrigue & excitement. This series is just so much fun. "

" See my review for The Secret History of the Pink Carnation "

" This didn't hold up quite as much on reread as I wanted it to (I might give it 3.5 stars instead of 4 if I had the option), but I still enjoyed it a lot. It was wonderful to see Jane again, and Richard too. Gabrielle remains my favorite. "

" The Orchid Affair is one of a series by Lauren Willig. While I enjoyed this book, I felt I was at a disadvantage because I had not read the previous books in the Pink Carnation series. I may add to this review at a later time. "

" I thought this was one of the better books in this series. "

" My favorite of the Pink Carnation series so far!! "

" Not my favorite book in the series but a good book. One of the best series out there! "

" Not my favorite in the series, but a lot better than most historicals out there. As usual, a nice blend of chick lit meets Baroness Orczy... "

" A surprising entry in the Pink Carnation canon, with an entirely new heroine (Laura Grey) rather than one of the extended Selwick clan. The romance between her and Andre Jaouen, right-hand man to Bonaparte's minister of police, was deliciously intense. "

" Even when I start the book frustrated that Willig's introducing new characters and sure I won't like it, I end up loving them and cheering for them by the end. I just wish they hadn't changed the cover scheme! "

" A guilty pleasure. Predictable plot, but who cares. I've read the whole series and wait for more. May Willig not run out of flowers. "

" Glad we finally got out of the ton and glad that even Andre gets a bit if romance...but sad to have to wait until Jan 2012 for the next Pink book. "

" Liked the historical romance, but grew tired of the intermixed present day story line. Witty dialog, intrigue, light romance, and some action. "

" This is the 8th volume in the Pink Carnation series. These books are well-written, well researched stories with fun characters and good historical notes and explanations at the end.--Leslie "

" I am slightly embarrassed to admit to reading this. But for an escapist read, the series is fairly entertaining. The quality is variable for each book; the first being the best, as is often the case. "

" The idea that anyone taught by Amy Selwick could be anything less than a national security disaster aside, this was another pretty good installment. I liked the characters and the premise. "

" 8th in series<br/>Laura Grey goes undercover as a governess in the home of Andre Jaouen who is high in the French government. Turns out he is working against the government too. They fall for each other and flee to England. "

" Another fabulous read in the flower(y) spies series by Willig. Laura Grey is an English governess who is being set up in a French household to spy on the master of the house due to his position within the prefecture of police. Lots of intrigue, drama, and a bit of romance too. Fun stuff! "

" When I picked this up, I had no clue it was part of a series (I just grabbed it randomly from the library), and I still didn't realize it until I looked at the comments on here. I loved this book! A good mix of mystery and romance. I will have to go back and read her other books now :) "

" My favorite Pink Carnation book yet. "
