STORY SYNOPSIS

Mrs. Stancliffe is the proprietor of the Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast, and it has been successful for many years. Guests (nearly all women) return year after year. 

Mrs. Stancliffe's next door neighbor, the elderly, silver-tongued, Bud Davis, believes they come to spend time with him in romantic liaisons. The prim and proper Mrs. Stancliffe steadfastly denies this, but really doesn't do anything to prevent it. Perhaps she reluctantly accepts the fact, that "Bud the Stud" (as he calls himself) is, in fact, good for business.

Henry Mitchell, her other neighbor, has routinely proposed marriage to her every day for the past twenty years. In order to help move their relationship along, Henry, a retired chemist, has developed a little blue pill patented under the name "Venusia" after Venus, the goddess of love. This little blue pill increases the libido in menopausal women.  Always the perfect gentleman, Henry refuses to try it on Mrs. Stancliffe, but instead has invited a friend, Hillary Hudson, to Rose Cottage to test it out.

Add to the guest list two older women: Victoria Ambrose, a romance novelist whose personal life seems to be lacking in romance and Charmaine Beauregard, a "Southern Belle" whose libido does not need to be increased!

Bud gets his hands on some of the Venusia pills and the fun begins as Bud attempts to entertain all three women! The women swap the Viagra pills with the Venusia, and we soon discover that Venusia has a strange effect on men: it gives them all the symptoms of menopausal women, complete with hot flashes, mood swings, weeping and irritability!  When the mayhem settles down, all the women find their lives moving in new and surprising directions.
