She can always torture him with an impromptu recital...that usually sorts the men from the boys! Love your snark Bam. She’s just really mature for her age - young classical musicians grow up fast!

At first I was thinking along the whole pedophilia line too, but now I'm getting the idea that MAYBE they meet again when she's legal. You know, like childhood sweethearts finding each other 10 years later... only not. Ewww... that doesn't make it any better. Ah well... I hope it's about that and not child molestation.

Clearly the art department has done some pretty serious airbrushing to remove the Mark of the Beast from her forehead. I think old Chester the Molester is about to get a whopping can of exactly what he deserves opened up on his ass.

It just sends out all the wrong vibes. Not a big fan of kids on romance covers, no matter how good or bad it is. It just sends out all the wrong vibes.

In a horrible and inappropriate way, of course. This is one of those that make you wonder what everyone in the publishing process was thinking. Not one person's mind went to a bad place upon seeing this cover? And I love the tagline. This has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. In a horrible and inappropriate way, of course.

Especially since I googled the title to see what it could *really* be about, only to discover a breathy Harriet Klausner spinning some tail about murdered step-brothers and families split by tragedy? No. Too confusing--I couldn't even follow the yellow brick road in the review. I'm sticking with Bam on this one. Yep. I like Bam’s plot.

And tell your prof that you can make big bucks writing for HQN. ; ) I was talking to my editor at RWA this year and she said the way they pick covers at Kensington is they lay them all out on a table and the one that people instinctively reach for to look at more closely is the one that usually gets chosen. My guess there was a room full of visually impaired people in the room when this particular cover was chosen. Evangeline Bam,

I told her, "No." Gods, I hope I'm right. Now...from my POV, he doesn't look black. He looks Hispanic. Maybe the kid is his niece or his wife's daughter from a first marriage. I believe in giving every book the benefit of the doubt. I don't usually read HQN books, but if I see this one, I'll pick it up. Darragha My daughter said, “Is this about incest?”
