But in Doc&#8217;s perspective parking lots at shopping locations can be great spots to meet someone. In the stores everyone is too focused on what they want or need to buy, but in the parking lot, they are more likely to chat, which is exactly what Rachel ends up doing, offering her two cents on the whole idea of where to meet women.<\/p>\n<p>Of course when over the course of the conversation it becomes clear that Doc is thinking Rachel can in fact be that woman Jeremy is wanting to meet, things get truly twisted&#8230; especially since she isn&#8217;t as busty or dumb as the ideal woman Jeremy would like to meet, but those traits can be changed in a smart married woman like Rachel, one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>You just never know what the best Black Friday bargain will be&#8230; or who.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1907525\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0G39RH52W\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Rachel finishes up a call at the back of her SUV after doing all the gift shopping, no help from her game-watching husband back home, she naturally assumes the approaching men just would like her shopping cart.
