Meredith by Michelle Miller

By Pamelascott

A frustrated lawyer finds release where she least expects it-and where she needs it most-in this exhilarating, sexy romp through the finest gluten-free indulgences in a New York City grocery store.

After another long workday, the only thing Meredith wants is a nice big bowl of paleo maple-pecan coconola. But the hour-long checkout line at 7:00 p.m. at an all-organic supermarket stands between her and satisfaction, and the yupster mob is working her last nerve. Then, out of nowhere, a spontaneous flirtation with a stranger shows her there's a lot more than coconola waiting for her in the bulk-food aisle.

Meredith is part of The Fairer Sex, a collection of sexy, satirical, and sometimes harrowing short stories that explore the question: "What do women want?" The answer is different for every woman, but each can be read or listened to in a single sitting.

I usually enjoy the short reads from Amazon Original Stories. I was disappointed with this story as well. Yet more, heterosexual lifestyles. This is also a light story, nothing harrowing about it. I also wasn't impressed by the explicit fantasy sex scene. This wasn't a terrible story but felt uninspired. This left me cold and had me rolling my eyes.
