The Love Potion: A Cajun Romance Novel (Cajun Book Series #1) - Perfect for Beach Reads & Book Club Discussions

I recently read Tall, Dark and Cajun, which was the first time I'd read Sandra Hill. That book was so great that I had to track down Luc and Sylvie's story, The Love Potion.Sylvie Fontaine grew up in a family of wealthy, overachieving, Creole women. It was not an easy childhood for a painfully shy girl. Luc LeDeux grew up in an abusive, poor, Cajun household. Since childhood, Luc perceived Sylvie as a snob and Sylvie perceived Luc as the baddest boy in town.As an adult, Sylvie works as a chemist. She's currently working on a love potion, which she packages in jellybeans. Luc is now a lawyer who is helping a group of shrimp fishermen, led by his brother Rene, fight a big oil company (which Luc's father is a major shareholder for). Luc brings a water sample to Sylvie's lab and asks that she analyze it for petroleum contamination. While Sylvie's back is turned, Luc eats about half of the love potion jellybeans. When a reporter overhears part of a conversation between Sylvie and Luc and then pries the rest out of Sylvie's best friend, he goes front page with the story. Sylvie and Luc start running when bullets start flying. Luc tries desperately to fight the affects of the love potion, but why is Sylvie feeling just as attracted when she didn't take any of the love potion?This is a great story. There is plenty of romance and action and a good dose of Luc's hilarious family. I'm glad I tracked it down.
