Do I Have Something on My Neck?

Here’s another cover that I stole from Sybil’s site and it’s that of a book that I definitely can’t wait for. I had a great time with the previous book of the series, so here’s hoping that this one will be as fun as its predecessor. I’m liking this cover. I’m a sucker for anything that reminds me of the 80’s and goddamn if this cover doesn’t remind me of a Whitesnake video. The girl kind of looks like a low-grade Tawny Kitaen. She wasn’t always the wreck that you saw on Surreal Life 6, kiddies. She was seriously hot once. I am seriously digging that little knife that she has tucked into her boot. That’s hot. I’m going to be so mad if the heroine turns out to be a fake bad girl who is just waiting around for the alpha hero to come and “tame” her. Seriously, writers, it is possible to have a bad girl for a heroine without having her submit to the hero in the end. For once, I’d like to read a book with an unrelenting badassssss for a heroine and the hero who ends up following her around like a puppy. Now that’s entertainment. What’s with these orange covers, seriously? It looks like the girl’s hair is on fire. And I think the hero needs a haircut (dear god, I sound like my mother). I know that all bad boys are supposed to have longish hair because they just don’t give a gol’durn and all, but all this really says to me is that homeboy can’t afford a haircut on a cover model’s salary. And what’s with the look on this guy’s face? That doesn’t look like passion. It’s a look that says, “Okay, I got it all off. You can straighten up now.”

    That chick reminds me of Caroline from the City (Lea Thompson?) I dunno what it is…mostly her face. I saw her once in Cabaret — she was really skinny. But otherwise, I’m loving the cover.

    Also hoping she remains an unrelenting, untamed badass heroine.

    Tawny Kitaen? Years ago I heard someone refer to her as the most beautiful woman in the world. She was gorgeous. Now she’s a freak show.

    Don’t be ridiculous, Syb. They’re machetes. :)

    And I definitely like this cover more than the first.

    I never understood what happened to Tawny Kitaen. Since when was she famous enough to be destroyed by fame? She is more famous for being a mess than for being anything else.

    LOL I like the machetes better than the meyers hockey masks or whatever the other thing was…

    Here is a very disturbing photo of Kitaen (work safe, but eeeeew).

    Hottest thing about her? She’s my age ;)

    Is that a young George Bush that Tawny is, uh…straddling…in that picture?

    1. Doug, you’re an ass. My eyes blew up when I saw that picture. Thanks a lot. I will now absolve myself from any typing mistakes.

    2. I cannot wait for this book! And she damn well better be a badass!

    3. This cover is significantly better than the “what’s that perfume you’re wearing, oh sorry I’m squeezing finger marks into your back” first. However, the first thing I noticed was that she needed a haircut, or at least a hot oil treatment. At least she looks like she consumes more than two tic tacs a day!

    I think the cover is yummy. Read the excerpt for the book too; can’t wait for it to come out.
