Honestly, I thought that the guy was an alien. It was only when I read the description on Amazon that I learned that he’s a cowboy, that thing on his head is a HAT, apparently, and not the top of an alien-head-space-helmet, and those aren’t weird limbs, they’re chaps. Inexplicably worn while his shirt is off.

Should we tell them that bustles go in the BACK of the dress, rather than creating a shelf on the front of the dress, upon which the alien cowboy would rest his hand?

On a bright note, from reading the comments/reviews on Amazon, it seems that the cover and the content are at least, if naught else, well-matched.

Are you sure about the man and woman? I see a two-faced, one-headed, poorly dressed blob. I see nothing to indicate (to a reasonable and lazy person such as myself) that this is anything other than an alien or monster.

I thought this was a joke cover from 1962. Nope. It’s a 2015 release. I read the reviews and agree – they are clearly well-matched in their respective competency!

Ugh! It’s so blurry. Even the author’s name is blurry.

I think you mean “afflicting.”

Yahoo! search “a malady afflicting” vs “a malady affecting” pretty evenly divided in usage. If a malady affects, it also afflicts by being a malady.

I have to say it: m’lady or milady. Not ma’lady. Red flag right there.

What genre is this? Regency Romance Meets Shirtless Cowboy Chic As Viewed By A Myopic Who’s Lost His Glasses?

If anybody comes here again saying “you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover” he should be pointed to this book (after being slapped silly).

Dymond publishing? I couldn’t find their web page so I assume they don’t have a reason to be concerned about SEO since they don’t have a web presence, but that’s a terrible name to goggle. Goggle will assume you’ve misspelled it and search for diamond instead.

Woah, a five-tagger! We don’t often see covers that ping *that* many of your tags.

I think it would be pretty interesting to see a histogram of all the titles on this site by their number-of-tags. Especially if one could click the groups to go to a view of all of the, say, five-taggers.

@ Jason

“specially if one could click the groups to go to a view of all of the, say, five-taggers.”

What a masochistic idea! 🙁

Dymond Publishing must have pretty harsh standards for their covers.

(I bet you didn’t even notice that was on the cover)

I’m so glad you have a tag for ridiculous pen names. “Willow Fae von Wicken.” Good grief.
