Synopsis
A love potion in a jelly bean? Fame and fortune are surely only a swallow away when Dr. Sylvie Fontaine discovers a chemical formula guaranteed to attract the opposite sex. Though her own love life is purely hypothetical, the shy chemist's professional future is assured . . . 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. When the dust settles, Sylvie and Luc have the answers to some burning questions-Can a man die of testosterone overload? Can a straight-laced female lose every single one of her inhibitions?-and they learn that old-fashioned romance is still the best catalyst for love.

September 29, 2003: Research chemist Dr. Sylvie Fontaine is ecstatic over her scientific breakthrough that she believes is the greatest since Viagra. Sylvie created the Jelly Bean Fix (JBX), a love potion that uses female enzymes to attract males, albeit after he has swallowed the sweet ?pill?.
Attorney Luc ?Swamp Solicitor? LeDeux heads to Sylvie?s lab to ask her to test a water sample that he believes has been polluted by Cypress Oil. Sylvie and Luc have been ?enemies? since she rejected his offer to dance at a Houma, Louisiana sixth grade event. He informed her then that one day they will dance naked together.
Sylvie agrees to look at the sample. However, she panics when he eats the jellybeans containing her enzymes that were targeted for her boss. Not long afterward, he accuses her of trying to kill him with over testosterone production as he cannot get Sylvie out of his head. As they fall in love, Sylvie believes it is her sugar pill, but Luc knows otherwise for he has loved her since elementary school.
Though love potions sound inane, Sandra Hill provides a delightful Bayou romance that will bewitch the audience though mindful of the Bullock movie Love Potion #9. The story line is filled with double entendres as Sylvie and Luc, supported by a cast of eccentrics, debate chemistry. Their dynamic relationship is so much fun to observe that the strong pollution subplot involving Luc?s estranged dad seems out of place except for bringing the hero to her lab. Throw in a Samson hunk on the cover of this fine tale readers will be seeking the JBX or green M&Ms.
