[...] OK This one is not technically published by Harlequin, as far as I can tell. And to the best of my knowledge I never read something with Fabio on the cover. I’m just showing you this to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. source [...]

What a post…had a good laugh in recognition and the cover of TENDER IS THE STORM…we did not have the same cover in the Netherlands…I can tell you that I still remember my first cover that made me go all week in the knees. It was a Heather Graham novel in the Dutch pub.line; CANDLElIGHT. I think the title in english is King Of The Wolves. All hard muscles, abs and pectorals. and thighs oh my…

A wonderful post Has!

Those are some great old skool covers! I used to love the covers for Susan Andersen's books. And the covers for Loretta Chase's books were great!

LOL, wow. I can see how parents might object. LOL

I never got in trouble for book covers, just for "pleasure reading" and I never did see why it was a problem. My grades were usually pretty good.

Really enjoyed this post! And Lou's comment about the bush was too funny!

I don't remember a particular cover getting me in trouble, but I started my romance book journey with Harlequins. Can't remember which series, but they were the tame ones, so assume the covers were tame as well.

Fun post, and great comments as well!

I discovered yesterday that the first letter of each word from Tender is the Storm- is Tits
I think the cover illustrator had a wicked sense of humour

I've never been in trouble with book covers, and to be honest, I can't recall my first sexy cover.

I've said numerous time, the day I lose my innocence in romanceland has gone all blurry.

But, holy freaking moly!

That bush sticking up in Mr Tender is the Storm model's bum can't be very comfortable.
