feliciakwThis romance novel cover recently came to my attention. The gent looks uncannily familiar, yes? It must be Jason Eckles.
"It Happened One Bite." Seriously?
But that's not what's making me laugh the most or roll my eyes the hardest. No, that would be the "product description," the summary of the book.
You see, I was rather an avid reader of Silhouette and Harlequin romance novels when I was in junior high. But it didn't take long for the redundancy and repetitiveness to make the genre . . . well . . . boring. Change the setting, plug in new names, rehash the same basic character dynamic, there ya go.
It's just so . . . well . . . comical.
I'd kinda sorta love to hear what Jensen would have to say about being the model for the leading man vamp in a romance novel. Considering the comments he's made about Twilight, and wanting the Winchesters to gank the entire cast of characters of True Blood and The Vampire Diaries, I can't help but think he might have some delightful snark for this particular sitch.
So . . . I don't know whether to grab for the insulin for this or not. Do they even make paranormal-compatible insulin for such things?

*sighs*

Date: 2011-09-21 11:51 pm (UTC)I refuse to walk down the romance section - never mind vampires, the covers are littered with demons (a succubus who wants his soul back!) angels, vampires, werewolves, weretigers, weredragons, werepanthers, wereeagles werepartridge-in-a-pear-tree, genii (some with light brown hair) old gods, Faeries, timetravellers, ghosts and aliens. . .
Seriously, people?
