Summary: What am I missing?
Review: I started reading, then put this book down for a month. And only browsed thru the last 100 pages. It just didn't grab me. And I don't really know why. I'll try is again in a year or so. It seems to have all the elements I usually love (humor, sensuality). But... Go figure.

Summary: She's done it again!
Review: I'm very happy to say that I found this book to be totally delightful, I truly couldn't put it down. I must admit that I was a little disappointed with Ms. Hill's last book, but I'm glad to see that she has gotten back to her winning combination of just the right amounts of humor, romance,passion, and excitement. This ia a must read for Sandra Hill fans. Merci beaucoup,Sandra, c'est magnifique!

Summary: Definitely cute but not totally gripping
Review: Love the set up, love the story and the characters. This was all designed for laughs, and Sandra Hill delivered. The middle of the book was slow for me. Luc and his Creole Belle got too cozy and it took awhile after that for my interest to peak again. All in all, worthwhile, though.

Summary: A Cajun Romance
Review: Luc accidentally eats jelly beans filled with love potion and falls head over heals for Sylvie, who just so happens to be pretty crazy about him. But how can Sylvie be with a man who only loves her because of a potion, and once the love potion wears off, will Luc's love for her die?Sandra Hill is a talented author, but this story would have been more entertaining for me if it was around 200 pages. It seemed to be puffed up with miscellaneous details about cajun tradition that had no place in this book. Luc sounded like a good looking guy, but for the first half of the book I really disliked him. He seemed like a loser and it's hard for me to like a guy like that, but it becomes apparent that he isn't what he seems. By the end of the novel, the character of Luc was very three-dimensional and he seemed to come alive for me, but even the "Cajun Knight" couldn't save this book. I usually read novels this length in a few days. This novel took me three weeks. I just couldn't get into it. The love potion idea was so intriguing but it fell flat. I was very dissapointed because I really wanted to like this novel.

Summary: Ab-so-loot-ly DELIGHTFUL !
Review: Redundant perhaps, but what else can I say - Sandra Hill has done it again - created an enchanting story with outrageously adorable, unforgetable characters. She never ceases to amaze me with her offbeat sense of humor and how she can so deftly put it into dialouge. Although I usually prefer Time Travel and especially Historical settings I never fail to read Hill's contemporary work and thoroughly enjoy it. To her established fans I say, " you certainly will not be disappointed" and to her first timers, "this is an excellent starting point to go through ALL of her novels. BRAVO, Sandra - keep 'em comin! Let's hope that there are stories in Sandra's outstanding imagination for Remy, Rene', and perhaps even Charmaine.

Summary: humorous like Bullock movie Love Potion #9
Review: Research chemist Dr. Sylvie Fontaine is ecstatic over her scientific breakthrough that she believes is the greatest since Viagra. Sylvie created the Jelly Bean Fix (JBX), a love potion that uses female enzymes to attract males, albeit after he has swallowed the sweet "pill". Attorney Luc "Swamp Solicitor" LeDeux heads to Sylvie's lab to ask her to test a water sample that he believes has been polluted by Cypress Oil. Sylvie and Luc have been "enemies" since she rejected his offer to dance at a Houma, Louisiana sixth grade event. He informed her then that one day they will dance naked together. Sylvie agrees to look at the sample. However, she panics when he eats the jellybeans containing her enzymes that were targeted for her boss. Not long afterward, he accuses her of trying to kill him with over testosterone production as he cannot get Sylvie out of his head. As they fall in love, Sylvie believes it is her sugar pill, but Luc knows otherwise for he has loved her since elementary school. Though love potions sound inane, Sandra Hill provides a delightful Bayou romance that will bewitch the audience though mindful of the Bullock movie Love Potion #9. The story line is filled with double entendres as Sylvie and Luc, supported by a cast of eccentrics, debate chemistry. Their dynamic relationship is so much fun to observe that the strong pollution subplot involving Luc's estranged dad seems out of place except for bringing the hero to her lab. Throw in a Samson hunk on the cover of this fine tale readers will be seeking the JBX or green M&Ms. Harriet Klausner

Summary: An Excellent Book!
Review: Sandra Hill has done it again. She has written a book full of interesting characterizations and fast paced romance. Hills books are always a "must read" with me, but this one ranks among her best. A real page turner that you won't be able to put down! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Another Fantastic Book by Sandra Hill!
Review: Sandra Hill has done it again. She has written a great book full of humor and sexual "Chemistry" between the Hero/Heroine! Here's what the back blurb says: "Yep! Fame and fortune are surely only a swallow away when Dr. Sylvie Fontaine discovers a chemical formula guaranteed to attract the oppostie sex. Though her own love lif is purely hypothetical, the shy chemist's professional future is asured...as soon as she can find a human guinea pig. The only problem is the wrong man has swallowed Sylvie's love potion. Bad boy Lucien LeDeux is more than she can handle even before he's dosed with the Jelly Bean Fix. The wildly virile lawyer is the last person she'd choose to subject to the scientific method." Full of fun, its a fast moving romp! I'd highly recommend The Love Potion
