Forget the cover–can anyone tell me WHY a segment of the population finds this “sweet” or romantic? Some poor woman who can’t earn a living, can’t own property, can’t do something other than whoring, sells herself to a guy she’s never seen, doesn’t know and who could be a monster, for all she knows. Right? Yeah, that’s sweet, inspirational and romantic, all right. It’s one step up from whoring, and there isn’t anything damned sweet about it.
And she doesn’t even seem to be freelance but is part of some “agency”. I wonder if they have a catalog. This would be human trafficking, right? What would be the 19th century equivalent of the Russian mob?
So very “sweet” and “inspirational.”

So is she literally marrying a coyote? Is this another “shifter” romance that forgot to advertise itself as paranormal?
Also, I hate to criticize a lady’s fashion choices, but that dress strikes me as a touch impractical for canyon hiking.
Maybe the Coyote is her human trafficker? And yes, that dress is ridiculous for pretty much anything aside from standing around looking meat on the hook.

1. [Animals] a predatory mammal, Canis latrans, related to but smaller than the wolf, originating in the deserts and prairies of North America
2. [Native American legend] a trickster represented as a man or as an animal
3. [Slang] A person who smuggles undocumented immigrants
Hmmm. Could be all three: a trickster represented as a coyote who smuggles mail order brides
…and on top of all that, FOUR fonts (one of which is, hurrah! Papyrus!) with drop shadows going in two different directions. And what are those white blobs? Glowing snowflakes? Giant fireflies? Fairy dust? Just look at the desperate pleading look in her eyes – “Get me out of here!”
The creator intended Papyrus to be “the idea of what a written font would have looked like in biblical times in the Middle East” — which means this application of Papyrus is an atrocity of Biblical proportions.

Maybe it’s a “sweet and inspirational, western, historical” beastiality romance.
