Holy jumpin’ hairless naked Jesus, Batman! What is going on here? I’ve never seen legs so smooth since Tim threatened to shave his own legs if I didn’t shave mine, so I ended up getting them waxed. Seriously, kids, I was feeling like silk for a week! But this “guy” just looks so… womanly. In fact, the only reason I say he is a man is that he is topless and unless ebook publishers are now plastering their covers with pictures of topless women, this… creature must be male. You know, I just have to shake my head at the double standard that a pair of naked female breasts would be considered obscene and yet this… supposedly isn’t. I bet Pamela Anderson would look at them knockers and say, “Bitch, please, I know silicone when I see it.” Just look at this hussy. He’s got his head tilted back all passionately and running his fingers through his hair like he’s in a Pantene Pro-V commercial. It’s funny that the word CANCER is featured so prominently in the background there, ’cause I’m pretty sure I’m going to get retinal cancer just by looking at this thing. Yes, yes, I know the “cancer” it’s referring to is either the zodiac sign or the constellation, but chemotherapy would explain why this dude is so hairless wouldn’t it? Not that it would explain the ratty mat on his tits, though.
Uh-oh, my stomach is heaving and I feel a movement in my esophagus. I may have to vomit. If I didn’t love you so much, Sybil, I’d scalp you bald for sending this to me. Thanks a lot.
P.S. I’ve never tried it, but I heard that if you poured Nair on your genitals, that shit burns like lava.

I dunno Bam. Shave this person’s chest, ignore the massively deformed LEFT arm only, put on a different head and I’m thinking he might just be a she. Notice the indented waist there and the slender, girlish right arm?

Gawd, that left arm is just wrong and then there are those dwarf short legs (no offence to dwarfs). Excuse me while I gag. I’m sorry but there’s nothing manly about this guy.
P.S Oh, and my husband can attest to how much Nair (or Veet in this case) BURNS!

Why is the title written twice?? Too dumb to read script?? We’ll put it in block letters, too!!

oh you lurve me and you know it
I still think this is one of the most fucked up covers evah.

Why the wax from the waist down only? He hated hairy legs but the chest was okay? Furry or smooth, pick one and go with it!

This book came out at the same time my last release from Ellora’s Cave did. You always hope that the readers will look beyond the cover and read the blurb and excerpt but in this case I couldn’t help feeling glad I had a better cover. Is that bad? I think we authors get cover envy a lot. : ) Evangeline

I generally like hairless but this guy is a way too feminine, even for a big old freak like me. I would have bought this but it’s got an effing mermaid in it. Writers have got to put the breaks on the paranormal shit. This book is listed as a werewolf/shape-shifter story. A werewolf and a mermaid is taking it too goddamned far.

Yeah, what if the werewolf gets hungry for seafood before he shifts back to human form? Nothin’ like a little sushi.

Wow, I just realized that I wrote breaks instead of brakes. OMG. I’m getting that condition that afflicts at least half of the people on the web. Sorry!
Anyway! Usually the covers at EC are pretty good. This one seems to have been intended for one of the “daring” new gay romances they’ve started to do lately. The ones with the confused, ambivalent, inexperienced gay boy getting gently introduced to his true nature. As far as I’m concerned they’re getting off to a very late and rocky start.

Love the entry..just leaving a note about the Nair on your privates…it was awful..horrible..thought I’d have to go to the ER but shame kept me burning and bubbling at home. Don’t ever do it.
