I actually own that book! I have never read it or any of the other Sandra Hill's. The cover certainly is a doozie.I think I will have to submit Fey Born by R. Garland Gray as my choice. A friend recently loaned me this book. She said it was really good and that I should just put a book cover on it to cover it up. The cover on this book just makes me cringe!

Oh my! Don't let the cover scare you. It's an excellent book. And an excellent hunk!
Sandra Hill is an excellent author, and her Viking I Series is great. I've read every one of them and highly HIGHLY recommend them!
Okay I'm new at this goodreads discussion forum thingy, but I think that my favorite hunky hunk hunk would be ANY of the men on the cover of Karen Marie Moning's books. They are some good looking men.

I have heard of that site. But with paying $10 a month to borrow 2 books I'd rather just go buy em.
booksfree is probably wonderful for the sane normal people who don't have the obsession of having to own their books. that is why the library and i don't mix. i don't like to have to return the books that i love. i feel that i must keep them forever and ever.
i guess i will start digging out the sandra hill's if they are that good. i really don't know why i never read them. i faithfully bought them. i guess what they say is true "so many books, so little time"

it definitely would be good for those books you wanted to try but not necessarily buy. how many books do you read a week? i usually read between 1 and 3. this week will be a 3 book week for me as i just got a hold of a book that i have been waiting for forever.

JR Ward's Lover Unbound. It wasn't supposed to be released until the 25th, but Books A Million screwed up and released some early. I love love loved Outlander. I read it years ago and it is still one of my favorite books of all time. I have the rest of the set with the exception of the very latest one but haven't read them yet.
I recommend trying to read the Viking Books in order. They do stand alone but it's a better experience in order. Sandra Hill has a recommended order for reading them on her website.
If you think the cover to Fey Born is bad, you should see Predestined, by the same author. That has to be one of the worst covers I've seen.
I love all of J.R. Ward's covers for her "Black Dagger Brotherhood" series. They sizzle for sure (grin)!
I had to google The Bewitched Viking, and oh my, I couldn't help laughing out loud!I recently bought the third book in Jacquelyn Frank's Nightwalker series, called Elijah, and I swear he's naked on the cover. No head, and it cuts off at the groin, but he's definitely naked!
I have to confess that, as great as "trashy" books can be, a leering muscle-bound hunk on the cover generally puts me off (scares me off, more like). My appreciation for the tacky only goes so far... :)
I don't know about "Hideously Fabulous" but Rumor Has It by Cindi Myers (it is a Harlequin Blaze title from about four or five years ago) is one of those covers that is somewhat appalling. At the very best you scratch your head wondering what the heck is going on. At the very worst, you know what is going on (is it even anatomically possible?) and what the heck was Harlequin thinking to even green light a cover like that.
ps...I haven't actually READ this book...too frightened of the cover!
