Love Potions

Tagline: A little magickal mischief never hurt
anyone...
Book
Synopsis: Erik MacGregor, from a clan of
ancient Scottish warlocks, isn’t looking for love. After centuries, it’s not
even a consideration…until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It’s clear
that the shy beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he’s drawn to her
nonetheless and determined to win her over.
Lydia Barratt just wants to be left alone to grow
flowers and make lotions in her old Victorian home. The last thing she needs is
a demanding Scottish man meddling in her private life. Just because he’s
gorgeous and totally rocks a kilt doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for his
seductive manner.
But Erik won’t give up and just as Lydia let’s
her guard down, his sister decides to get involved. Her little love potion
prank goes terribly wrong, making Lydia the target of his sudden embarrassingly
obsessive behavior. They’ll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell
fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry
about. Evil lurks within the shadows and
it plans to use Lydia, alive or dead, to take out Erik and his clan for good.

My Review: 5 stars
I loved this book! Michelle has written a fabulous start to this series. It's funny, creative and still sexy as hell. I laughed so hard at times reading this book. I loved Lydia's spunk and how she fought to be heard and respected for who she was. Erik was so smokin' hot sexy, and then hilarious as hell once the rest of the family hit town and the shenanigans began. Lydia and Erik together were amazing, and I loved the lore that Michelle created for her Warlocks. I loved that Charlotte was pretty open minded about the magick that was happening around her, I'd like to see if another MacGregor will find Charlotte appealing in the same way that Erik found Lydia. I loved the action and the definite twists and unexpected turns that occurred in this book. The MacGregor Clan sounds like a handful, and I am looking forward to reading hopefully many more books in this series.

“Ly-di-ah! I sit beneath
your window, laaaass, singing ’cause I loooove your a—”
“For the love of St. Francis of Assisi,
someone call a vet. There is an injured animal screaming in pain outside,”
Charlotte interrupted the flow of music in ill-humor.
Lydia
lifted her forehead from the kitchen table. Her windows and doors were all
locked, and yet Erik’s endlessly verbose singing penetrated the barrier of
glass and wood with ease.
Charlotte
held her head and blinked heavily. Her red-rimmed eyes were filled with the all
too poignant look of a hangover. She took a seat at the table and laid her head
down. Her moan sounded something like, “I’m never moving again.”
“You
need fluids,” Lydia prescribed, getting up to pour unsweetened herbal tea from
the pitcher in the fridge. She’d mixed it especially for her friend. It was
Gramma Annabelle’s hangover recipe of willow bark, peppermint, carrot, and
ginger. The old lady always had a fresh supply of it in the house while she was
alive. Apparently, being a natural witch also meant in partaking in natural
liquors. Annabelle had kept a steady supply of moonshine stashed in the
basement. If the concert didn’t stop soon she might try to find an old bottle.
“Ly-di-ah!”
“Omigod.
Kill me,” Charlotte moaned. “No. Kill him. Then kill me.”
“Ly-di-ah!”
Erik
had been singing for over an hour. At first, he’d tried to come inside. She’d
not invited him and the barrier spell sent him sprawling back into the yard. He
didn’t seem to mind as he found a seat on some landscaping timbers and began
his serenade. The last time she’d asked him to be quiet, he’d gotten louder and
overly enthusiastic. In fact, she’d been too scared to pull back the curtains
for a clearer look, but she was pretty sure he’d been dancing on her lawn,
shaking his kilt.
“Omigod,”
Charlotte muttered, pushing up and angrily going to a window. Then grimacing,
she said, “Is he wearing a tux jacket with his kilt?”
“Don’t
let him see you,” Lydia cried out in a panic. It was too late. The song began
with renewed force.
“He’s…”
Charlotte frowned. “I think it’s dancing.”
Since
the damage was done, Lydia joined Charlotte at the window. Erik grinned. He
lifted his arms to the side and kicked his legs, bouncing around the yard like
a kid on too much sugar. “Maybe it’s a traditional Scottish dance?”
Both
women tilted their heads in unison as his kilt kicked up to show his perfectly
formed ass.
“He’s
not wearing…” Charlotte began.
“I
know. He doesn’t,” Lydia answered. Damn, the man had a fine body. Too bad
Malina’s trick had turned him insane.

climbing Mayan temples in Belize. She's addicted to movies and used to drive
her mother crazy while quoting random scenes with her brother. Though it has
yet to happen, her dream is to be in a horror movie as 1. A zombie or 2. The

most part she can be found writing in her office with a cup of coffee in pajama
pants.
