Instead\u2026 she fell in love with it,\u201d according to the synopsis on Amazon. \u201cDr Alexa Ashingtonford is a part of a crack team of scientists tasked with finding the cure to the devastating Coronavirus. Little did she know she would end up falling in love with it, in this steamy viral-erotica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKissing Coronavirus is a steamy tale about forbidden love and dark desires come to life,\u201d it continues.<\/p>\n<p>Almost apologetically, the synopsis ends with this line: \u201cThe book is M.J. Edwards\u2019 debut book, and is her attempt at trying to pay the bills following her job loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a review by Caitsbooks on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/54594933-kissing-the-coronavirus\">Goodreads<\/a>, the story starts off with Dr. Ashingtonford trying to find a cure for COVID-19, but is turned on by the sample.<\/p>\n<p>A selection cited by Caitsbooks reads: \u201cDespite the devastation the virus was causing across the globe, Alexa felt a rush of excitement every time she picked up the Corona sample, like a pulsating, erect penis, desperate to unleash its devastation on anyone who touched it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16395496\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone aligncenter\"><img class=\" size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped wp-image-16395496 lazyload\" alt=\"microscope female scientist\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/female-scientist-laboratory-stock.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/female-scientist-laboratory-stock.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/female-scientist-laboratory-stock.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/female-scientist-laboratory-stock.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=662 662w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/female-scientist-laboratory-stock.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1324 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 662px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Alamy Stock Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The virus then infects an evil scientist, Dr. Bob Gurtlychung, who then uses an untried vaccine on himself in an attempt to rid his body of the virus \u2026 and the vaccine turns the bad male doctor into a green hulking COVID-19 sexy man-beast \u2014 who can finally fornicate with the horny Dr. Ashingtonford.<\/p>\n<p>Some readers reviewed the debut harshly \u2014 one gave it a one-star review noting: \u201cHere I am, I did it. I read it and oh boy. I don\u2019t know what to say. I mean, this exists! It\u2019s here! It\u2019s a real thing that someone actually wrote!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But others enjoyed it for the unintentional comedic value it brought \u2014 like the reviewer \u201cC.S.\u201d who wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I still gave it 5 stars. Do not go into this expecting a good read, either story or writing. You absolutely have to go into this expecting it to be worse than you imagine. \u2026 The fact that it was so bad it made me laugh like crazy is why I rated it so high. Here are a couple of gems to give you an idea: \u2018Alexa edged back, pushing back until her back pushed back against the wall\u2019;\u00a0 He also lets out a \u2018bellowing bellow.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C.S. then reiterates: \u201cI repeat, do not go into this with a serious mindset. I believe (I really really hope) the author intentionally wrote this so badly to bring a good laugh in these very serious times. It made me laugh because of how truly bad it is so goal accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the book had 121 ratings with an average of 3.5 stars \u2014 the majority of them are five-star or one-star reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, an M.J.
