3.0 out of 5 stars I'll take one to go., December 3, 2002

What do four women and "Jo-Jo", an ex-cop, and the Love Goddess all have in common? Love Potions by Leslie Esdaile.

Four women (Nikki, Victoria, Delores, Gail) all friends, and all finding themselves in the need for cash, decide to throw a few psychic-reading parties. For authenticity they develop a love potion elixir to sell to the clientele. Nicole Gordon is the resident "psychic" and Adam Bastille, an ex-cop private eye, comes in for a reading from Nicole trying to find out information on a case. He ends up walking out with a special elixir that has him falling head over heels for Nicole. Fortunately for Adam, Nicole didn't need the elixir for her to fall in love with him.

This book is filled with so many different things (even a bit of mystery) that the romance of the main characters, Nicole and Adam, can and did get lost in the shuffle. However, the parties, "Jo-Jo", and the effects of the elixir made for funny situations and plenty of romance for the others. It is necessary that I mention one particular intimate scene between Nicole and Adam that is out of this world. (I read that scene twice) Despite some of the choppiness in the romance storyline, this book would be a good read on a lazy afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brassy and sassy!, May 14, 2002

This review is from: Love Potions (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

A wonderful read! Man does it cook! Wonderful characters jump off the page at you, and I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Gail can cook up a batch of love potions for me any time, and Jo Jo the male hair stylist practically steals the show!
But Adam and Nicole are made for each other! An excellent thread of mystery and suspense running though the book makes this one you will not want to miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best!!!, April 8, 2002

This review is from: Love Potions (Arabesque) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book, and frankly I really liked the fact that these ladies took their situations and made a better future for each one of them. And I wouldn't mind one of those potions for when the time was right. Here you have a couple of ladies sitting around bemoaning their fates when a sisterfriend of theirs suggested pooling their gifts together and go into a psychic/love potion selling business and boy do it kick off. As soon as they start it, each one of the ladies lose their jobs and they get back together to rethink their strategies. A lot of unusual and funny stuff happens in love potions, but you will be entertained and empowered to see these sisters changing their own destinies.
