Rating: 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
Rating: Summary: This one is worthy of a 6th star! Review: Sandra Hill sure knows how to get her readers' attention! This book was wonderful from start to finish. I loved the story and the characters.Sylvie a "Creole Princess", has been tormented for years by Luc, the "Swamp Solicitor", and now she's stuck with him - at least until the love potion he inadvertently consumed wears off. But what the unlikely twosome don't count on is being on the run together. Hilarious! This well written romp will keep you chuckling even after the last page has turned. Here's hoping Ms. Hill plans stories for Luc's brothers and his sister. If they're as good as this one, I'd buy them in a second. I guar-an-tee!

Rating: Summary: Delightful!!! Review: The fun begins when "Bad Boy of the Bayou" Lucien LeDeux accidently consumes Dr. Sylvie Fontaine's "Love Potion" jelly beans. What follows is pure fun and lots of laughs. This book deserves more than a five star rating. It is sooooo good. The story has all the best ingredients--fun, laughs, a hero and heroine you can truly connect with and great secondary characters such as Luc's brothers who are very charming and his Aunt Lulu who is a hoot. The dialogue is wickedly sexy at times and so much fun. Since I have only just discovered Sandra Hill, I look forward to many enjoyable hours reading her previous books. I recommend "The Love Potion" and guar-un-tee you will enjoy it.

Rating: Summary: Hilarious romp in the Southern Louisiana bayous! Review: This book deserves more than 5 stars! Sandra Hill is by far my favorite author. She blends a perfect dash of humor with romance and adventure. She didn't dissapoint in this funny tale of a lawyer known as the 'Swamp Solicitor' in Southern Louisiana named Luc LeDeux who walks into a chemist's lab to have a sample tested and accidentally consumes a handful of the chemist's 'love potion' in the form of jelly beans! The chemist, Dr. Sylvie Fontaine has been working hard on the love potion and hasn't yet had it tested on humans when Luc comes in and eats her potion! What to do?! Well first of all, she is horrified it was taken by the well-known 'bay-boy-of-the-bayou' and the fact that test trails have only been done on rats! Luc is already a walking mix of testosterone and male ego when he takes the potion he is more than straight-laced Sylvie can handle. I was laughing so hard with the things that happen between them and how she tries hard to keep track of his feelings on a notepad and how she asks him the most personal questions to find out how well her potion is working! Will the potion cause them to fall in love or will it fade away? Is someone trying to steal the potion? This book will keep you turning the pages to find out and along the way, you meet some very funny characters including Luc's wily aunt Lulu who can't stop meddling into his love life, his two nosey brothers and his sister who thinks everyone ought to have 'pouf' in their hair. This is a sure pleaser and right along track with Ms Hill's usual flair and wit. The love scenes are HOT with a capital H and what I love most about Ms Hill's female characters are that they are never really gorgeous or beautiful on the outside, just normal, average women with realistic problems. But her men...ugh, they are ALWAYS gorgeous and sexy! Makes one wish they were real! Give this book a try, its well worth the money! By the way, if you read her other books, namely 'Frankly My Dear...', there is a mention in this book of the characters and places...enjoy :)

Rating: Summary: Fantastic read..... Review: This is the first book I have read of Ms Hill's and if this story is any indication of what she is capable of, then I have to say I have been missing out on some fantastic books. I am truly hooked on this author now and I am going to dig her other books out and read them as soon as possible. Lucien LeDeux has been labeled 'bad boy of the bayou' since childhood and for good reason, as he has made the label a self-fulfilling prophecy with his audacious teasing of the Creole-born Sylvie Fontaine. He issues a threat to her at a school dance when they were both thirteen, that they would one day slow dance in the nude. Now twenty years later, he still feels a strong urge to shock and dismay her. Luc is a lawyer and his brother's dilemma demands that he seek Sylvie's expertise as a chemist to test contaminated bayou water for oil spillage from his father's company. Upon his arrival in her lab, he encounters her in the midst of a secret experiment and as always he 'rattles her cage' and in the chaos he unintentionally eats her jelly beans that is loaded with a love potion that she has invented. She was on the verge of testing it on a human subject and is freaked out when her childhood nemesis gulps down the potion that she knows will make him sexually hungry for her. At this point is when the fun begins! I absolutely loved this story! It is outrageously funny and the romance is wonderful. Not only was the story of the hero and heroine great but the secondary characters were enjoyable as well, from Luc's lovable little aunt Tante Lulu to Samson and Delilah, Sylvie's 'in love lab rats', this story held my interest from the first to the last page. This book is a romance reader's dream!
