05/17/2005 Archived Entry: "Worst Romance Covers 2004"

It's time again for the cover contest at All About Romance, and the most wonderful, funniest category: Worst Covers. All of the nominees were bad in their own special ways, but the winner was truly amazing! On Rumor Has It by Cindi Myers: "I'm completely confused about what it's showing. They're in a car right? Are those the heroine's legs going through the roof? Or is he with a guy? Because that hand on his waist looks masculine to me. I guess it could be a MxMxF threesome in a backseat. And a paranormal one at that, if the lightning shooting out of his butt is any indication. Plus the scene out the window makes it look like they're floating through space - I hope the windows have good seals. Sheesh. So the cover tells me this is about a ménage a trois in a spaceship designed by aliens with Earth auto fetishes, in which the lightning propelled buttocks of one man thrust him with such vigor into the woman she kicks a hole in the ceiling, causing an air leak into space that they must figure out how to stop before they die. Let's hope that other guy is MacGyver. Did I get it right?"

The author Cindi Myers was unhappy with this cover, for sure.
