Who Is Jennie Bean?

I am woman fighting on behalf of silenced romance readers everywhere against the repeated offense of visual assault and abomination by publishers on the internet ...er...I'm just a cover snark.

Invasion of the Brain Suckers

Where do I begin? From the looks of Dude, this is not an ordinary house keeper. This is the Vaacum Runner from the planet Fubar.
She doesn't have eyes in the back of her head but it would seem more efficient features that offer services that IEHA hasn't even heard about.
And I've heard the expression "F*ck your brains out" but this is taking it to a level I had never truly. Perhaps she's not the alien at all. Maybe it's him. Brain Sucking Alien that leave human house keepers brain dead. Dude's very good at what he does if this is the case judging from the vacant expression on the housekeeper's face.
Keeping House from Carnal Desires Publishing wins this week's Worst Cover award.

Bad Monkey Business

There is a tie for this week's Worst Cover Award. Neither are sexy but both are funny as hell. Both covers deserve recognition. WTF is up with covers sporting images of monkeys and apes? Did Bobo win People Magazine's Sexiest Alive or what? Women get divorced to get away from too much body hair, grunts, scratching, and bum picking. Now it's sexy on the cover of romance novels?













So I'm leaving it up to you. Vote on which monkey boy cover should win this week's Worst Cover Award
2. Raindrops Keep Falling on My Dead from Cobblestone Press

Or share your own Monkey Love cover nominations.

I'm Mister Blue

It's not a BAAD cover. It's just - disturbing. I mean, DUDE! One in the hand doesn't even feel like one in the bush. But it does explain why Mister Blue's girlfriend is holding herself and rocking in the corner behind him. Size DOES matter.


Aquatic Alliance from Loose Id, doesn't get a WORST cover award but Mister Blue does get an honorable mention just for his lack of equipment.





A Taste of Italy, however, at Freya's Bower DOES get the worst cover of the week award.
I must ask the obvious. Is the name of the woman in the heels Italy?
Besides the girl looking up the skirt of another as if she might take a bite, there is the other two sitting there watching like it's the stage production of The Story of O. Pass the popcorn! The blurb states that there is a hero named David. But I don't think he has a chance against this goliath of girl love.
Let's Hear it for the Girls!

Skeletor Takes A Wife

There is a reason why this cover is available so small on the publisher website. Because Skeletor is one scary MF. But I guess there is someone for everyone though - she had to be blindfolded so she didn't run away screaming..begging...to be tied to a pole for the Kraken instead. Though I don't know if she could even stand up with Skeletor resting all his weight on her head like that.



We couldn't expect his face to be too beautiful, not with those bird legs he's sporting.



I will be watching Google for a new video called 2 People 1 Hand.



Sorry Black Velvet Seductions, you get the worst cover of the week award.

Chunk of Burning Love

WTF is this? It's a woman who looks to be burning so bad that her skin is peeling and charring. Yes, that's romantic. It really reflects the romance of the book!

I suppose that's what u get when u cheat on a demon lover? Or maybe this is a case of Spontaneous Human Combustion.

From the Ashes from The Wild Rose Press gets my first worst cover award.
