I used to hate the clinch, now....not so much.<br /><br />Georgia: All that chick is missing are the mammoth shoulder pads :)<br /><br />Nath: The latest cover has just the heroine on it. Then there's an older reprint that's just a landscape. And not a very well-done landscape at that....<br /><br />Giynlith: I love the sub genre, but even I won't say there isn't dreck floating around. Uh, case in point, my upcoming TBR Challenge read which was mostly disappointing.<br /><br />I have that book somewhere in the TBR, and haven't had the heart to weed it. One of my western homegirls (Sybil, I think) didn't think much of it....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-21408452137394811722010-10-12T01:58:08.015-07:002010-10-12T01:58:08.015-07:00I'm currently reading a historical western rom...I'm currently reading a historical western romance ("Midnight Satin" by Laurie Grant) I picked up at a local book exchange. While I applaud your faithfulness to the genre, I really dislike the use of "down home" phrases. They drive me insane. This particular book uses them quite frequently, too. Another thing, why do most of the western romances feature Texans and/or Texas? There's more to the West than Texas!Lisa Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00905199416615889798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-62013804727201301702010-10-11T19:13:28.656-07:002010-10-11T19:13:28.656-07:00Well at least with that cover, it tells you there&...Well at least with that cover, it tells you there's a Native right? While the new cover, well it's really bland and really doesn't tell you anything except that it's historical.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-33497838434150558402010-10-11T08:41:38.120-07:002010-10-11T08:41:38.120-07:00Love you comment on the cover.

I still have a fondness for those types of covers.JamiSingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756726189949304645noreply@blogger.com
