Hmm… two cover models who are a little too dark and exotic-looking to be Caucasian. Wait a minute, this isn’t Harlequin Deseo! What’s going on? If the girl had been a blond and obviously white, it would be okay that the male is a little dark, a little Latin-looking, but two models–albeit quite attractive–who look like they had just stepped out of the set of a Telemundo soap opera? Nah, that won’t work (especially since the characters in the book are probably very, very white). What am I even talking about? Harlequin Deseo isn’t about Hispanic people! They’re just regular Harlequin romance novels translated into Spanish. Brilliant! Man, that female is beautiful. I know it’s airbrushed and all, but her skin is absolutely flawless. I even like the coy, little glance she’s giving the male there. Too bad that he’s probably not anatomically correct. Look how smooth, hairless, and… mannequin-like he is. Like Ken, he probably doesn’t even have a penis… just painted-on, bulge-free underwear. So sad. What are the chances that she’s the wealthy, spoiled SPANISH heiress of a winery empire and he’s the arrogant Mexican-American foreman who tames her? No chance. None at all. Sigh.

Thanks to Amber for this cover!
