In complete fairness, I'll also add information, and/or reviews on the current apple of my eye. For although their covers may be an enigma to me, that is not to say that they aren't amazing works.
Author: Nalini Singh
Hardcover: 432 pages
I was searching for new Science Fiction & Fantasy books when I came across this cover. Well, to say the least it made me p...a...u...s...e...lol After I came back to reality I read the summary on a few different sites and, low and behold...It sounds like an interesting story...no for reals, the story sounds good!
I think my "Really?" moment occurred because the cover is a bit soft porny to me. It sounds like an entertaining read, and I'm sure it would hold it's own without such an "eye catching" cover. I'm not big on romance novels, but if you're a fan this could be a whole lot of fun.

If any of you have had "Really??" moments...I'd love to hear them :D

wow...that cover will make me think more than twice to buy it. I also think it's a bit porn. Hehe it would raise a lot of eyebrow if I read that in the bus ;)
I also don't enjoy romance book...I can take romance manga, not book.
my 'really' covers book is shiver, a lot of people read and praised it...but the cover is you know, doesnt look like a good book.
ps. thanks for changin the comment form :)
Definitely looks like something Mills & Boon would produce.
Thanks for stopping by today :D So great that someone else read The Replacement and I can rave about it, it's SO good isn''t it?
Oh yes it is :D Seriously loved it! And, the pleasure was mine...great site :D
I'm not a big fan of the more 'romancey' covers on paranormal romance books. I like the urban fantasy covers a bit better, but even those are getting difficult to distinguish from all their counterparts. I've read paranormal romance before (Colleen Gleason's Gardella series) and enjoyed it, but by and large I wouldn't pick up these kinds of books because the covers just drive me away.
Carl: I agree. It's hard to take a book seriously with this type of "Presentation". ;) Even if the content is good, I wouldn't generally pick it up...I may however look it over for a bit...you know, just to critique the cover...lol
Of course, lol!
