Title: Sweet Thing
Author: Kelly Genelle Fletcher
Date: 2020
Quote: "Julia lavished in the thrill of being unattached."
She rushes out to buy some peaches and, in hardly longer than it takes to read the mini-book, she's summoning the stork with the handsome peach farmer. As fictional disgraces to womankind go, this Julia is not far above the Obama Administration's.
For those who want a transgressive fantasy...maybe. This web site maintains that divorcees who put out the act of marriage without being married are lowering the status of all women. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest Julia's bed.
(Am I being harder on this novel than I've been on other romances that spell out that a couple are doing what makes babies before marriage? Not intentionally. It would be pleasant, though, if even steamy romances saved the details of how to make babies for scenes in which the couples wanted babies. When people enjoy being unattached they should remember how to use their hands.)
