Never mind that the guy on the cover is incredibly creepy. With Millionaire of the Month in the title, I can only think that some conniving harpy (is there any other kind?) seduced Mr. Bling and is now requesting child support payments. That sounds like great romance.Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039997156492900954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-22622586689164635032007-07-09T05:28:00.000-04:002007-07-09T05:28:00.000-04:00Thanks to the last post, on each of these book cov...Thanks to the last post, on each of these book covers, I obsessively check everyone's hands. The pregnant woman's left hand is on the back of the guy's head. But where is her left arm? I can almost see it behind his head, but it looks like she must have weird E.T. arms if it bends that low.Nyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254661637043139743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-26239603102362045722007-07-08T20:23:00.000-04:002007-07-08T20:23:00.000-04:00To follow up on what DocTurtle said, I'm pretty su...To follow up on what DocTurtle said, I'm pretty sure each bit of information on a romance novel cover indicates what sub-sub-sub-series this book belongs to. Like "Times Two" is probably a whole series dedicated to romances involving identical twins. (Think of the hijinks! Hey, it worked for Shakespeare...) And "sorority sisters" is probably about a tight-knit group of college classmates who are always there for each other when they get ... uh ... knocked up and then their babbydaddy CREEPILY NUZZLES THEIR SWOLLEN BELLY. Jesus Christ but that's horrifying.<BR/><BR/>JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-9113587042745437842007-07-08T19:30:00.000-04:002007-07-08T19:30:00.000-04:00To add a title now on Blogger, you actually have t...To add a title now on Blogger, you actually have to click the word "title" in the "Create a post" page.

Nevertheless, as you point out, there's something inherently creepy about a cover consisting almost entirely of a kneeling man kissing a pregnant woman's abdomen...oops, I almost wrote "abdemon" there...although that wouldn't have been far off the mark.<BR/><BR/>Now, as someone who doesn't read this sort of thing, I have to admit amazement at the sheer amount of data contained on each Harlequin cover: there's more informational stimulus on one of these puppies than there is during a college football game on ESPN. I'm assuming that "times two" means...maybe there are two romances going on at once? But what in the hell does "Firehouse 59" mean? Is there an entire series of discreetly trashy novels dedicated to the pole-slidin' action of the men of this <I>single</I> fire station?DocTurtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154912977859107986noreply@blogger.com
