I will read anything once. There is a box of unlked books, my laundry basket sits on to prove that statement. When I found out KFC released a 90+ page, romance novella called Tender Wings of Desire, I immediately went to Amazon to get my free copy. Let's see what the Colonel is into.
The cover is rather triggering. Who coined the terms "Mommy Porn" & "Housewife Literature"? I'm sending a cyborg to that time to thump that person. The cover has Col. Sanders is holding up a lady and her handbag on her shoulder in his arms. So instantly, you know who this book is for.
The story takes place in Victorian time, England. Lady Madeline Parker is not interested in most traditional lady-like things. Madeline is often a direct contrast to her younger sister, Victoria. Victoria also can’t wait to marry a man, while Madeline “would be perfectly happy to be a spinster all of her life.” Their socialite mother arranges for Madeline to marry a duke named Reginald. Madeleine decided to flee from her family's home the night before the wedding on horseback.
She settles in a faraway seaside town. And she gets a job at a tavern called The Admiral’s Arms. An American sailor with sea colored eyes & dark rimmed glasses, named Harland enters. Clearly, that man was Colonel Harland Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). They have a quick moving & passionate affair. Then she finds out he has money & riches. She confronts him & he explained that he hid the truth after hearing about her past. She forgives him & the leave on his boat to live in Kentucky. Oh don't feel bad for Reginald. He marries Victoria.
Tender Wings of Desires is cute. It is a solid story. I did expect fried chicken to be made in the story, at least once. I was a tad disappointed. I also expected a digital coupon after the story. A little promotion couldn't have hurt. Oh well, it was free. We will see what KFC cranks out for Father's Day.
