Girl, sweet love? (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

fanny adams

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sweet love?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'girl' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'fanny' and 'fanny' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'adams' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
