A Great Way to Spend the Weekend!

I loved this book. I don't think I have laughed so much while reading a book in a while. Luc and Sylvie are great! Sylvie has created a love potion that is taken in the form of a jelly bean. It has not yet been tested on humans only on her furry companions Sampson and Delhila and it has been very very sucessfull with them. They can't keep their paws off each other. Luc is a dark, sexy cajun, lawyer who is known as "the swamp lawyer" has to ask Sylvie a favor. He would rather die then have to do that! While he is busy tormenting and teasing her he eats one of her special jelly beans. What happens when two people who despise (not!) each other are now drawn to each other? Why they help to keep the Louisiana bayou all the steamier of course! Throw in some danger from those that feel Sylvie is messing with Voodoo, Luc's 78 year old aunt with purple hair who rides a Harley and knits things for Luc's hopechest, two horney rats in a Happy Meal box, and you have the makings of a great weekend read!

Hilarious and Sexy

Dr. Silvie Fontaine and bad boy attorney Lucien LeDeux have never gotten along. They've had bad blood between them since childhood. But they've also carried an attraction for the other that neither of them will acknowledge aloud. Enter into the equation "the jelly bean fix"--a new drug Silvie is working on that has the physical implications of Viagra, while simultaneously stimulating the emotions of the subject--and you have the jist of this novel.This is Hill at her wittiest and sexiest. The dialogue was hilarious, the relationship between the hero and heroine was intriguing, and the plot threw enough twists and turns to keep my attention. This is the perfect lighthearted, romantic comedy to read if you need a little pick-me-up.

This one is worthy of a 6th star!

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!

Fantastic read.....

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!

Another Fantastic Book by Sandra Hill!

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
