I know! It makes me so mad, so many books have stupid covers that tell you NOTHING about the book.

I really with I could find an example, because some of them are so stupid, they're funny.

But what I really hate is when they have people on the front who don't look like the characters in the book. DX

Yeah, I'm reading one of those right now, the main character is a tall, lanky guy with glasses. The guy on the cover is blond average height and buff. Really, really buff, like his muscles jump off the page at you. The guy in the story has trouble carrying his books up to his apartment.

My favorite Harlequin has a main character who is so buff that his hands are too big for him to be able to puncture a juice box with a straw.

Some of them are pretty good. One of the best ones are those by Amanda Stevens. They aren't that descriptive, but they're still pretty good. Other ones are good, but she's one of my favorites.

My favorites are the ones by Lori Handeland and Melinda Curtis.
Alot of other authors just sort of have the characters in hate mode, and I turn the page and their in love.
