I am sure that you've heard of book cover's that are cheekily referred to as "Bodice Rippers", right?
Well, the covers to THESE books don't have bodices to rip. There IS ripping but not ... well.... you have to SEE the covers to appreciate them.
If you don't think it's worth the look, at least it's worth the read!
I know you must have favorite authors and I wouldn't be surprised if you did shout out's about them on your own blogs. So, I'm going to do that too.
Shelley Munro is one of my fav's. I discovered her books at Ellora's Cave and ever since, I've read her art.
This is the latest fun book but not from Ellora's. It's from Cerridwen Press.

Joke time ...
The Sensitive Man
A woman meets a man in a bar.
They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet,cuddly teddy bears.
There are three shelves in the bedroom, with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears carefully placed in rows, covering the entire wall!
It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display.
There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf.
She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large collection of Teddy Bears and she's quite impressed by his sensitive side, but doesn't mention this to him.
They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after awhile, she finds herself thinking, 'Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one!
Maybe he could be the future father of my children?'
She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love.
She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known. After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow.
The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, 'Well,how was it?'
The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says:
'Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf'

OH... *snort* That joke is BAD!
As for the covers... hmm... those look awfully familiar! LOL They were definitely drool-worthy.
OH MY! That joke was horrible. But funny. *g*
The second cover, the book is definitely......different. One of the blogs I visit reviewed it. Does the word Hermaphrodite mean anything to you? *g* Um, and the hero had TWO, um, yeah anyway.
Good luck with the submissions!
