I would love to know your thoughts on Katee Robert’s Deal with a Demon series covers. The monster clinch covers are my favorites. Also thank you for sharing this essay, it definitely changed my perspective on some things!

What is super depressing is this cynical move often works. I can tell you this is the only way my non-romance friends will read romance. They openly laugh at historical romance covers and old school titles. But many of them read The Kiss Quotient. That was a hot book! So yes, it comes down to puritanical shame. It’s like the illustrated cover gives them permission to read romance.
