Pride and Pornography
I blame it on the kindle app on my phone.
I've read the complete works of Jane Austen. More than once. But recently I was stuck at my kids' swim lesson with nothing to do and it turns out Pride and Prejudice is one of the free downloads for my kindle app on the droid.
I didn't mean to read it.
But damn, there's a reason why that woman launched an entire genre of fiction. She pretty much invented Chick Lit. It's because she's that good. I was sucked in by the second paragraph and didn't come up to breathe until I'd read the whole thing through (alas, I wanted to say 'cover to cover' but with technology that is just no longer the case).
So of course, you feed my imagination, it spits out a spanko version. Get ready for it: the regency spanker.
Trouble with regency romances is that there's...
NO. SEX. TILL MARRIAGE! (shouted to the tune of the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep till Brooklyn")
Or at least not that Jane Austen would approve of. So...
That means my story has a lot of spankings and sexual tension until the last chapter when they finally get hitched for their Happily Ever After ending. Not sure if it's hot enough. But maybe for those readers who prefer a chaster couple, this will hit the spot.
I did enjoy the ride, even without the sex.
