Me again! Forget romcom, I’ve just had another idea. Since my Berlin romance is practically historical… what if I went full bodice ripper instead? 👇 The cover needs *minor* adjustments, but how does the concept feel? Fresh? Or unhinged? #UnhingedPit #Q #A #R

In a world torn by history (Berlin, '97), a spirited beauty (I mean, she’s alright) defies propriety (books a language course) to claim her rightful future (career plans).
 Stranded on distant shores (Berlin. I said so already. Yes, there’s a beach), she falls prey to a cruel fate (housing mix-up) that entwines her destiny (for 2 months. Calm down) with a battle-scarred warrior (ex pro athlete with custody drama) guarding his wounded heart.
 Tormented by desire beyond endurance (will they, won’t they), they’re swept into an all-consuming passion (4*🌶️). It may devour them both—or grant the love of a lifetime (HEA).

Any cover with a consentually ripped bodice is perfectly fine with me.

I lived in Alexanderplatz for six years and think it is the most romantic place on Earth. Nowhere else have I seen so many couples with hands in each others pants.

Definitely something my grandma would have picked up in the 70's! 👀 (I love the bodice ripper covers of that era though)

I like it. Feels fresh. Beats many of the boring covers used today. Kimberly Lemming's books have been the most fun and interesting visually, which is what made me pick it up aside from the funny title. So something like this would definitely work on me if i saw it in the wild🙂📖

Is that Fabio? We had a butter substitute ad campaign here featuring him, and so I just can't get past the "I just can't believe it's not butter" ad rather than any romance whenever I see him.
