Romance is painful rocks. It's the possibility of drowning. It's having only one leg! We need to get with the program;)<br /><br />Madigan - HAHA! I did notice he had a sword, though it's hanging limply by his side. Not a good sign;)<br /><br />Blodeuedd - Whenever I see jagged rocks now I'm going to think of this cover and any romance cover scouts that might think it's the ideal place for a photo shoot:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-59906320550779820232011-01-29T16:55:53.358-05:002011-01-29T16:55:53.358-05:00Too good to be true, but there it is...omg, that f...Too good to be true, but there it is...omg, that first cover just blows my mind.

And the expression on her face! There's no passion there at all. It's as if she's thinking: Must. Crush. Him.<br /><br />Oh, for The Crimson Lady, you'll notice, I hope, that he happens to be carrying a "big sword" *wink, wink*<br /><br />I hear romance is the top selling category for e-books. Doubtless because people are embarrassed to be seen reading books with covers like these.Madigan Mirzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298558705488237857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-50967473563282707622011-01-29T16:23:44.914-05:002011-01-29T16:23:44.914-05:00Ha - I was so echoing every thought and word you w...Ha - I was so echoing every thought and word you wrote when I first saw the covers (before I started reading). Seriously? A jagged, rocky and mountainous place to woohoo? Tsk. Methinks they're taking the term carpet burns to a whole new, higher and masochist level. Maybe that also included chopping off her right leg. In which case, they are both to be avoided at all costs.

Weird how my mind works, but it almost looks as though she's supporting him on her shoulders. Maybe she's the resident Strong Woman, closing her eyes tightly in concentration as she performs before a breathless audience. The weirdness of these poses make me want to read the book, or at least the synopsis, so maybe there's something to bizarre covers as a marketing technique after all! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-82834053941402372892011-01-28T15:32:24.391-05:002011-01-28T15:32:24.391-05:00Tina - My thoughts exactly!

Obviously! ;) The last one, I'm also guessing she has warned him not to mention her frizzy hair and he is hiding a laugh. He does look like he is smirking. Perhaps it's the thrill from the arm pit.
