The Walrus has a current feature on vintage Harlequin romance novels and their covers. The design of the novels captures stereotypes of love and romance at the time of publication. I've also noticed the prevalence of blonds on the covers. Greg pointed out the article to me on Friday and flagged two particular covers - one that represents our relationship (Bitter Masquerade) and another that represents his brother's relationship with his wife (The Sheik and The Vixen).
As Bitter Masquerade more represents our shared love for vibrant colours and artwork, than any actual occurrence during our relationship, it might suit Greg to think of this modern cover as a more accurate representation of us.
