For those of you who haven’t heard, KFC just published its first romance novella, starring none other than Colonel Sanders himself. (And before you ask: no, I’m not sure, but I do THINK this is one of the signs of an impending apocalypse. You might want to start hoarding canned goods and antibiotics just in case.)

The novella, released to celebrate Mother’s Day, is called Tender Wings of Desire (gag) and portrays a love affair between Lady Madeline Parker and Colonel Harland Sanders. Currently, it’s a free Amazon download. (Update, 5/9/17: looks like it's 99 cents, now)

I can kind of picture how this “book” came to be. I’m pretty sure it happened like this: a bunch of middle-aged, white, MALE marketing executives got together for a meeting (or maybe a round of golf) and asked themselves, “how can we capitalize on a holiday like Mother’s Day and make it less about mothers and more about US and selling chicken?”

Tongue-in-cheek fun, or insult to romance readers everywhere? You decide.

Amazon blurb
Max Alexander is nearing thirty-five. He's built a successful company, and he's conquered the professional world, but he's never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl.

She's a distraction he doesn't need, and besides, there's no way she'd be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

Blurb:
Three things in my life were fact.
I needed Sarah to survive.
I needed sex to remain sane.
And I could never mix sex with Sarah.

I just knew--deep in my marrow--that if I did, I'd somehow lose her. All my deepest darkest secrets would crack open, bleed out, and ruin everything between us. I wouldn't unleash the shit inside me on my worst enemy, let alone her. So she stayed strictly in the friend zone.

Blurb (from Amazon.com):
Silver Harris is done with clingy men--maybe men altogether. But when she shares a toe-curling kiss with a sexy Irish vampire on New Year's Eve, she decides maybe it's human men she's done with. Silver turns to the popular vampire dating site, V-Date. When the undead gentlemen come calling, soon she's in over her head. And her mysterious hottie is nowhere to be found...

Logan Byrne can't get that sassy redhead out of his head--or that kiss! When his boss assigns him to spy on V-Date members, he meets Silver again.

Turns out, the police are recruiting humans to snitch on vampires through the dating site. As the snark and sparks fly, feelings between Silver and Logan grow deep. Logan isn't sure he can go through with his mission to make Silver forget everything she knows about vampires...and betray her.

But in the tight-knit London community of centuries-old vampires, history and grudges run deep and dating the undead can be risky business.
