According to family close to Tanner, her fascination with the genre began when she stumbled upon a copy of the totally-edifying book Sweet Amish Temptations on clearance at a Christian book store, and snuck it home to read while her family was away. "She ripped through that one in a night and stashed it under her bed, then rushed back to the shop first thing in the morning to pick up the sequels - Isaac's Bare Desires and Rebecca's Delights, I think they were called," Tanner's visibly concerned husband told reporters.

Sources also confirmed that Tanner has pre-ordered five more unquestionably not pornographic Amish novels set to release this summer.
