« He likes it when they don't move... | Main | Fabio, the master of all covers... »
I have opened the book so you can get the full experience. First of all, we've got the break-away shirt. We've got hair that goes way beyond wind-swept into wind-tunnel. Even his hair is flying away, with a ponytail, no less. Mostly, though, we have the ugliest man on a cover that I've ever seen. No one there looks happy. And who is steering the boat? This is a conglomeration of hideousness.

I agree with you UW. He is ugly. The pony tail is worse than a mullet. And why is the Australian price double?? What a rip off.
Also, isn't it suppose to be: "Where his loyalties lie" ?

Seriously, he is the ugliest "hero" ever to grace the cover of a romance novel. He's fugly.
Is australian money worth half of what US money is? Or was it at the time?
And yes, I think it is supposed to by lie -- at least, that's what sounds right.

Current currency conversion is 1 Australian dollar = 0.8365 U.S. dollars, but when this book was released, perhaps it was higher. Or maybe they exported a limited number to Australia. Definitely a horrible cover and it does appear that the "fugly" gentleman is steering the boat with his eyes closed and facing in the opposite direction and one-handed. What a pimp though...

I must find out who the model for this one was, to see if he's as ugly in real life. I would rather see the short, round guy from Seinfeld on the cover. This guy is a complete turn off.
P.S. Thanks for doing the look-up for me. :-P
