Blow-Ur-Mind: The Unholy Union of Harlequin Books & NASCAR

There are so many amazing things going on with the cover art, titles and taglines…  like… I can’t even…

51k7OJMyp4L._SS500_

Tagline: How do you convince a woman to live life by different rules?

Answer: Rohypnol & Ryan Seacrest’s hair.

Tagline: Can the wrong guy ever turn into Mr. Right?

Answer: Who cares as long as he’s wet and angsty.

Tagline is missing because the title, Speed Dating, single-handedly maxed out the terribleness quota for cover copy.

Cameo by race car driver Carl Edwards – a cameo in a book…

51JYRCMDSJL._SS500_

Tagline: Can he convince her he’s a changed man?

Answer: Yes. That smart clipboard and far-off gaze scream I’m off the hookers and booze, baby.

51NZ5ocTIPL._SS500_

Tagline: Trouble never looked so good.

Trouble looks like the kind of guy that won’t let you eat in his car.

51vsveY77EL._SS500_

Revised Tagline: They’ve invested too much [in sunglasses and spray tan] to give up now.

51WIwNzY4CL._SS500_

Tagline: She was born to race… deal with it!

The title, Speed Bumps, is actually referring to her coke habit.

51YyUD2MuZL._SS500_

Tagline: They would defy everyone they loved… for each other.

And now they are both serving back to back life sentences in Indiana.

517edQ4IF6L._SS500_

Tagline: Trust is a two-way street.

And it took two authors to madlib-in the required race car references.

Whose next in future business cross-promotional pairings with Harlequin Books? Peterbilt. Jon Deare.
