“Are you tired of the many shades of darkness in romantic literature? Then this short, feel-good, old fashioned romance is just for you. This is the tale of Joshua and Jerminah, set in a time before motor cars, cell phones, and dubious blurring of the lines between love and everything else. It follows the age old boy-meets-girl . . . formula, but it is well-written and will leave you smiling. More importantly, your faith in the literary romance will be restored.”
Every time I see anyone comparing themselves to Fifty Shades I block that person from my newsfeed.
I live in a state of secret fear that somehow my own novels will be compared to it in a way that makes my books impossible to stand alone without the comparison. Secret fear.

How smug and irritating.
Where’s the disclaimer: “There is not a single shade of grey in this story, much less 50?”

Well, it’s not secret now! Muwahaha. I will leave reviews of your book all over the place comparing to to 50 Shades. 🙂
Mwahahahahaha. That’s evil. I like it.
Be sure to call it 50 Shades of Gay. That is what my nightmares legitimately call it. 😀
You know you’re just handing me more ammunition now, right?
Darn… I was really hoping to be Gay of Thrones instead!
To be honest, this is the ANTI 50 shades comparison. So, I guess the author scores some bonus points?
True, much better than them just saying ‘This is just like 50 Shades of Gray… but on ice!”
… actually, that could be pretty nifty.
Only if Whatshername gets her head cut off with an ice skate. Or Mr Grey his. The smaller one, preferably.
bwahahahaha!!!
Lazy.
Why bother with an appropriate imagery when a few words will suffice? This is writing, after all.
Ummm . . . lurking between the black and white squares is, ummm . . .
…is de Kok. Get it? *snort*
ahh – I know I’m not the only one snickering at stupid stuff like that. It’s just good that I’m not the first one this time.
“de kok is de writer. . .”
*Fist bump* 🙂
OK, zip it up, you two. And this cover, too.
So is this cover black and blue, or white and gold?
haw haw
Don’t break the Interweb again! Bwahahhahahaaaa!
What about blue and orange?
