Product Description
When aromatherapist Sukie Ambrose starts using her cottage garden as inspiration - and raw ingredients - for her products, she thinks she's just hit on a good way of saving money while offering her clients a way of de-stressing and relaxation. However, Sukie lives in a village where strange things have been known to happen. She discovers that her new improved lotions and potions are making her massages distinctly magical - and producing more star-crossed lovers than Shakespeare could ever dream of...

Format:Paperback
Sukie Ambrose fiddles around with ways to improve the products she uses in her massage/beauty business. She turns to her godmother's natural recipes to give her a unique edge (oh, and to replace the expensive oils that her boss bought her and she accidently gave away!) Harmless enough. Not really - turns out that Cora, her godmother, had a few tricks up her sleeve and all kinds of interesting things begin to happen when Sukie tries out her new products. This book brings back some characters from recent Christina Jones books, but the really story belongs to Sukie and her friends and loved ones. In true C Jones fashion, there's interesting side stories and charming, quirky characters. And of course, a guy who would turn anyone to attempting magic, Derry. This book has some bittersweet twists, but ultimately makes you feel great for having read it. Another winner!

I loved this book! As ever, Christina Jones never lets her readers down and has written a wonderfully involving story with an impressive cast of characters - some new and some delightfully familiar old friends - in a book which made me laugh and cry. Sukie is a wonderful leading character, independent, determined, loyal, feisty and yet with an edge of vulnerability as she struggles to put the needs of others before herself as she reaches for her own dreams. I really identified with her. Derry is delicious! And I also loved all the secondary characters, young and old, who were perfectly drawn, believable, eccentric in the nicest of ways, and the intertwining stories of the village residents makes you wish that you lived there, too! Although this book stands alone in its own right, it follows on from HUBBLE BUBBLE and SEEING STARS with some of the same characters reappearing. After Mitzi's herbal recipes weaved their magic in HUBBLE BUBBLE and Amber discovered the celesteal interventions in SEEING STARS, we now have Sukie who stumbles across the recipes and flowers in the cottage garden and infuses them for the massage oils she uses. Her potions have unexpected, hilarious and moving effects on her clients, friends and even herself! LOVE POTIONS is an absolute joy and a must-read book. I just cannot wait for the next instalment to find out what else will happen in this ramshackle collection of wonderful rural villages and their delightful occupants! Buy this book (paperback coming in early October) and you will not be disappointed. Christina Jones's books should be available on the NHS to spread happiness and joy and contentment.

This book was really good fun, having read all of the others like hubble bubble and tickled pink, Love Potions carries on with the same characters and the same magical intrigue. Cant wait for the next one....

A fun holiday read. I like the way it follows on from others written by Christina Jones: it's nice to see how characters you've met before are getting on! Would recommend.
