Weird Book Covers: Keeper of the Heart

Oh lordy. I found me a golden book. This. This is the top of the pyramid of weird book covers. It gets the romance cover crowd.  

Space Romance! The book cover is what everyone things when they see Romance Novel. The girl gripping the leather clad guy and one or more phallic image. I have the vague guess that this is from the 80s, and I have to say, their perceptions of an attractive man went only as far as the chiseled bod. The long mane of hair, the jaw so square I could build a house on it, and the tight leather pants offer nothing for me. The impression I get, with blondies eyes at junk level, is that she's begging for his business stick. But I have to say, the cover is not actually reaching its audience by doing this.

Its women, by and large, reading romance novels. That means the cover should lean more towards her tastes/pleasuring her, since that's what the people it would be reaching. But then again, lots of 80s romance novels, I found are very much about the woman being dominated by the man. That cover up there is fairly dominating. 

Gender rolls and marketing errors aside, its a hillarious cover, with two people about to plow one out in purple space land. Funny/weird.

Also, scratch the rating system because half the covers to come are all over the place.
