Kristina 's Reviews > Tender Is the Storm

👀 I mean… he’s rocking that arm porn pretty hard 🤷🏼‍♀️.

For sure… this is a beautiful cover, I love these old school painted ones but… 🤣
To be a fly on the wall for that photo session though.

😄 But was it any good, the story l mean.

Didn’t read it…this is classic Joanna Lindsay though so it was probably ridiculous and silly.
Someone probably read it and wrote a review about the contents… I mean people do that sometimes too, right? 🤣

I know what you mean about Johanna Lindsay's books. I only read one and it was tedious. Never again.

Me too. Everyone in it has brain damage. Not this one …well probably this one too.

I own this one but haven't read it yet. If you can find an uncensored version of this cover, it's actually quite valuable! I share this one on my Instagram every thirst trap thursday because it looks like he's t*ttyfucking her and apparently that got it banned from some stores when it came out in the 1980s lol.

@nenia is the uncensored one without the bush? Because that looks like a censorship bush 😆. But that’s so funny, and I know the artist is quite well known and this cover is pretty iconic, but the banned thing is 😆.

No I believe they started putting a sticker over the groin lol

That’s even better…

Now I want to know if it's a stepback cover and, if so, what's on the stepback!?

I love stepbacks… but how can you top this?

Oh I love this😂😂😂

It’s epic.

Johanna Lindsey has some of the craziest bodice ripper covers ever. They’re so funny

It’s probably from a scene in her equally crazy books. The meet cutes she comes up with can be ridiculous.

Intrusive thought 101: I feel like his hidden boner is helping holding her by the breasts.

He’s definitely using all his appendages to hold her up. 😆
What a man!

We love a supportive man

Oh Kristina!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just can’t!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And I don’t want to know where else the bush has spread out behind him... 🙈🙈

@Dora, you bring up a good point, I think that bush may be an invasive species *wags eyebrows*

BAHAHAHAHA!! This cover... omg... this was REALLY published??? 😆😆😆😆😆

I haven't read her in MANY years! Like, the early 2000s...

Her bodice ripper covers though👀

👍🏻 using everything at his disposal…

@sonia it was published and quite scandalous, Nenia gave us the low down and there is another review on the book page that goes in great detail about it too. I love pop culture history…
I’m actually trying to find a copy of it, it seems so crazy and convoluted as a story too… twin love triangle, mail order brides… those old schools brought the drama. I don’t like this author generally but I will read anything out of curiosity…as you know by now 😉

Personally I prefer this artwork to the cartoon covers we get on romance books now a day. At least looks interesting and like what it is, which is an adult book.

love these cover analyses 😂

@grace agreed. Headless torsos too. I absolutely can’t tolerate a cartoon cover for a historical. I’m ok with tin sign art or period style etching but no cartoons!

@jenna me too… 😆 I mean that in a modest way. Like I like doing them because if it’s in my head it needs to also be in everyone else’s.

Omg. This cover is wicked good. 👀

@cindy isn’t it though? The artist is a famous painter and cover artist. He must have loved doing this.

the bush is there to hide his ass of course.

Of course.

someone needs to find the non-bush picture please👀

This is the uncensored version, the censored version has a full starburst over his dong area.

Ugh my iPad doesn’t know me well enough to stop autocorrecting dong.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

I found this version... meh, THIS ^^ one is better still 🙃

What in earth… why change what ain’t broke? This one is perfect.
I had to change to this edition because goodreads had the flower cover as the default one.

Exactly 🤷🏻‍♀️

Personally, looking at this cover, I think it’s not so much that he caught her, more that he is holding her in place for some cleavage action.

She must be in the throws of pleasure then 🤣

Not gonna lie.....I love JL. She was my fav and I have read her since I was a teen. I own all her books in the original covers. As a teen I would intensely examine these covers where we saw side male ass. Remember this was before the internet (early-med 90's) and the easy access of porn lol. I had them hid in a drawer....I thought it was so scandalous. 🤯😵🤣🤣

Lol. I have my own guilty faves as well and there is nothing wrong with that. I’ve never quite vibed with JL, and I’ve tried, but I gotta give it to her for her covers. And if you own some of these originals maybe you can cash them out since they seem to be valuable. 🤣

I love this episodesss keep them comiiiing 😂🍿

Hahaha. I have four on stand by… this one is epic though, the others will have to rely more on my comedic delivery 😉

Hahahahhaha i put all my trust in your comedic delivery it doesnt dissapoiiint

Haha thanks.

Not me clicking on the book to go read the description after seeing the cover🙈🤣 don't judge me, ok😅

I did the same and the description might be even more insane than the cover! I’m looking for a copy and I don’t even care for this author. Twin love triangle?? Yes please.
No judgement from me!

i have so many questions

@milo This cover could inspire fan fiction of its own, it’s a thinker 🧐 😂
