Love Potion – is a collection of six short stories with a mixture of humour, intrigue, renewed love, second chances, first love and destined romance.
Quick easy reads, ideal for a coffee break.

Right well, I don’t really do romance, its not a thing I’m particularly fond of in fiction generally with perhaps the exception of Jilly Cooper and the whole Riders series which I tend to devour when I’m having a hissy fit of some kind whilst chain smoking and generally growling at the world. But I find Samantha Bacchus to be particularly lovely and entertaining in Twitter world so when I saw she had published some of her short fiction I was very interested to have a look and I DO like to go out of my comfort zone occasionally and leave the general blood death and tears behind me. So I tootled off to Amazon, purchased a copy and decided that it looked pretty perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What we have here is a collection of six short but extremely sweet stories based on love in a variety of its incarnations and I was exactly right about it being perfect Sunday reading. I would also recommend it for those of us who like a little something to dip into during coffee breaks or lunch hours – I read this today in and around doing other things, and I was highly entertained by some wonderful tales, at turns heartfelt and hilarious and with a healthy dose of irony on occasion.

Lovely writing style, a tendency to give you pause to nod your head wisely and knowingly and some great characters to meet along the way, I had a lot of fun.

The art of the short story is not dead. Here is the proof.

Happy Reading Folks!
