    &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:1 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;150&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_left&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/dearpublogo.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s September and the leaves will be turning colors in the next few weeks. &amp;#160; The children are back in school and our tans, if we have them and they aren&#039;t sprayed on, are fading.&amp;#160; It&#039;s one of my favorite times of the year, with crackling leaves on the ground, bright orange pumpkins, apple cider, and cool autumn nights in abundance.&amp;#160; However, I&#039;m experiencing a writer&#039;s block and can&#039;t think of a blog topic for September. Today, I decided to browse the internet for some ideas.&amp;#160; &amp;#160; Alas, I didn&#039;t have any luck finding a topic but I did find something that helps me endure my empty topic list. &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are 25 Cover Cafe committee members voting on covers throughout the year.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Some of us love having a sexy man, with a naked chest or chiseled back exposed on the cover, and some of us would rather not have a half naked male on our covers. &amp;#160; The committee represents a cross section of romance readers and we seldom agree 100% on any cover or cover topic.&amp;#160; It is what makes volunteering on the committee so interesting.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For myself, I love good looking men on romance covers unless they are in a stupid awkward pose and/or totally naked.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; I like a toned, not ripped, body and you can&#039;t beat a man in a good pair of jeans or a vampire&#039;s garb with just a little exposed skin.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Since I don&#039;t have any issues right now to vent towards publishers, I&#039;m posting a few of the current or future covers I think capture &amp;quot;sexy&amp;quot;.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Most covers are from 2010 but there are one or two which will be published in early 2011. &amp;#160; Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, there are the chiseled toned torsos...it doesn&#039;t hurt that they are handsome, too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:89 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:90 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:91 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:89 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;232&quot; title=&quot;Simon &amp;amp; Schuster Adult Publishing Group&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH3.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:91 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;253&quot; title=&quot;Kensington Publishing&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH5.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;lefy&quot;&gt;Publisher information available on mouse-over. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:96 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:97 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;236&quot; title=&quot;Kensington Publishing&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH9.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt; &lt;!-- s9ymdb:96 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:96 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:96 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:96 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;232&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH8.jpg&quot; title=&quot;St. Martin&#039;s Press&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then we have the more sedately dressed heroes.....love those jeans! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:94 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:88 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:93 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:87 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:92 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; title=&quot;Harlequin&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH6.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:87 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; title=&quot;Harlequin&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH1.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So my fellow romance reader, are you a toned torso aficionado or a blue jeans fanatic? &amp;#160;&amp;#160; If you love a different mode of attire for your favorite hero -&amp;#160; do tell.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; Until next time!&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:95 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:4 --&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;100&quot; width=&quot;184&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/SinLin.gif&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;380&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; title=&quot;Harlequin&quot; src=&quot;http://www.covercafe.com/serendipity/uploads/HH7.jpg&quot; class=&quot;serendipity_image_center&quot; /&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:95 --&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:92 --&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
