Why Plenty? Fifty Shades & A Mother’s Request

by Kelly Lavender | Nov 28, 2022 | General Blog

Perfect for fans of Dragon Tattoo thrills, Fast and Furious Action and Hunger Games Suspense? Yes.

Two events led to the creation of Plenty, my second Suspense novel.  First – the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Feminist fury lit the fire. As Rich Lowry of the New York Post wrote: “…“Fifty Shades” is a version of the age-old Boy Meets Girl story, except the Boy is a dangerous creep…” https://nypost.com/2015/02/16/50-shades-an-anti-feminist-juggernaut/ I had to call out this trilogy for what it represents: sugarcoated sadism. A young virgin for a rich sadist love story with a Happily Ever Ending. Yuck! Really?
