Lori Ditmer and Theo Grady have spent a lifetime together. Through thick and thin they've been each other's shoulder to lean on. They share a birthday, a home, bank accounts and even car registrations. They're perfect for each other in every way. The only problem is they've never seen each other as potential romance material. Oh, they've discussed it, even thought long and hard about it, but they've never taken that last, intimate step that would turn their life-long friendship into full-fledged romance. Much to the disappointment of both their mothers. So, Mom Ditmer and Mom Grady decide to take matters into their own hands. They visit Madame Rue's and pick up a little potion for their wayward children. They present their gifts to Lori and Theo at a surprise birthday party, hoping against hope that it'll be the thing that finally makes them see what's right in front of their noses. Love Potion #9 was my first Caitlyn Willows story and what a way to be introduced to a new author! Ms. Willows takes a popular story, one that even borders on being over-done, and puts a fresh, modern spin on it. She adds in characters that are at once easy to relate to and fun to get to know. She sprinkles in a bit of family comedy, stirs in a dose of description that draws the reader into her world, and simmers her concoction over a fire hot enough to scorch the pages. Ms. Willows brews a fascinating potion, leaving me thirsty for more. Ms. Willows has a true talent and Love Potion #9 definitely shouldn't be missed. I highly recommend Love Potion #9 to anyone wanting a light, quick story that will leave them satisfied for hours longer than it takes to read. Mandy Six weeks ago, DiAndra Collins lost her husband Wes when the illness he'd fought finally claimed his body. But she can't let him go. When his ashes arrive from the mortuary, she prepares a spell that will bring him back to her. Just as she's about to begin, a knock on the door shatters the aura she fought to create. The person at the door is Scott Asher, Wes' best friend and the man who's been Di's strength through her long ordeal. After knocking many times without a response, Scott's afraid something has happened to DiAndra and bursts into the living room, only to find Di in the midst of calling Wes' soul back to his body. But the spell is incomplete and Wes' soul attaches itself to Scott, merging with him and allowing Wes and DiAndra to share a night of lovemaking. They savor every moment they have together, both aware that it may well be the very last chance they have. But Wes learns a secret while in Scott's body. A secret that could change everything forever. Caitlyn Willows is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. She is such a master at characterization that even in only a few pages she can make her characters come alive for her reader. Our One True Love is a tender, poignant love story that brought tears to my eyes. Have a box of tissues handy and then prepare to experience the magic tha
