Summary: Keeps getting better!
Review: I am a new fan of Jane Heller's - working my way up to reading her collection of wonderful books. Her imagination paired with realism is a masterpiece!

This book hit so close to home for me! Elizabeth Baskin is married to Roger and is not happy with her marriage. She feels as if the "thrill" is gone. He doesn't pay as much attention to his looks, he works too much, gained weight, makes messes with English Muffin crumbs every morning (and doesn't clean them up) and falls asleep on the couch at night watching TV...sound familiar?????

Elizabeth finds out about a "Life Enhancement" doctor who seems to have the answer to Roger's problem through a potion made up of herbs from Central America. She meets the doctor and is given what he called "The Stud Stimulant" that she is to sneak into his morning OJ or coffee. When the first dose doesn't take affect fast enough, being impatient she gives him double doses.

Needless to say, Roger is back to the man she first fell in love with. His sex drive is nonstop, he buys new clothes, goes to the gym, watches what he eats.

Sounds like the perfect potion, right? But, what about if he wants sex so much - that YOU can't keep up with him? What if
he becomes so obsessed with working out and eating healthy that he begins to complain about how YOU look?

In the beginning of the book, you learn that Elizabeth is employed with a company that sends her to 5 star hotels. She gets to stay there free, make impossible demands and inspect them to see if they remain 5 stars. I am thinking, this would be the PERFECT job for me! But, as I finished the book - I realized that NOTHING is perfect. Not a hotel, not a marriage, not you and not me.

Jane's books always give me a little bit more wisdom and a smile as I close the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Jane Heller's books
Review: I have read all of Jane Heller's books. This one was excellent.

This perticular book is about a woman who is unhappy with her husband and would like him to be more attentive to her. Jane writes this book in "first person" so you feel like she is talking directly to you. She goes to a doctor who gives her medication to have him enhanced,but as the saying goes, "becareful what you wish for, it just might come true" She has a few twists and turns with the Characters and I just
loved it. I recommend it to all who would like some "reading
candy" or just read it for the fun of the story!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's so bad, you can't look away
Review: It's so predictable. The humor is bad. I kept reading because I hate not finishing a book, no matter how bad. It seemed like the author was trying for a "lucy and ethel" type book, but all I wanted to do was slap Clover. I guess I just didn't get the whole thing.
