Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

Flipping through a running magazine I was struck by the pictures of lean, athletic men. I remembered a comment someone said to me. "We don't put men with runner's builds on the cover of novels." Why? So yeah, the stereotypical romance hero is a muscle bound god ready to sweep his woman off his feet. However, I don't know about you, but this woman enjoys variety. Orlando Bloom looks completely different from Viggo Mortensen or Vin Diesel, and yet, all three men cause breaths to catch and hearts to pound among women everywhere. There's more to a romance hero than muscles. (can you hear the collective gasp that just rose across the romance community? More to a hero than big...muscles?) Looking through the magazine, reading the articles, I was struck by the graceful beauty of a runner. Body working in perfect harmony, a well-oiled machine that took great effort and turned it into a great reward. So I guess my question to my readers, heck to anyone really, is what do you want to see on the covers? Are the lean, trim runner's build men appealing to your eye? Or do you prefer a more muscled guy?
