I know making fun of
Harlequin's cover art department is like shooting fish in a barrel - but damn. Wait, check that. Damnity, damn, damn.
What is up with this chick? I can't decide if she's:
- Possessed by a demon
- Drank Kool-Aid offered to her by her friendly neighborhood cult leader
- Under mind control from invading alien hordes
- A Stepford wife
It's almost like I can hear sublimal messages buzzing in my head when I look at this cover.
"Look into my eyes. You will buy this book. You will rob the local bank. You will shoot up your local post office with an AK-47....."Seriously creepy. My condolences to Myrna MacKenzie.

OMG! That's a scary cover! Please tell me it's a joke! Please!
Yeah, it's a cliche that the H/S art department sucks dead toads, but there's always a reason for such cliches to come into existence.
If that was my cover, I think I'd cry.
How perky and cute! What are they trying to sell here? Anything but romance - this is definitely a children's book.
that's got to take first at the AAR Worst Cover competition. The little pink spots on her cheek weren't bad enough, they have to have her do the booga-booga eyes, too?
