Cover Poll: Are They Doing It?

I have been looking at the stepback for Cathy Maxwell’s upcoming book The Earl Claims His Wife for a few hours now, and I can’t figure it out. Here’s the front cover:

Book Cover

The Earl, in the stepback, to my way of thinking, is indeed claiming his wife. Take a look:

Seriously, are they doing it? I mean, that’s one hell of an o-Face right there:

So, I ask you – what’s your call? Doing it? Or just having a bit of an asthma problem? Swallowing invisible avocados? If you think they’re not Doing It, then tell me in the comments, what ARE they doing? I’ll draw a winner to take home their own copy of The Earl Claims His Wife.

    They are engaging in some frottage’, of course-thank you for reminding me of that term Evie Byrne 🙂

    Oh yeah, I voted yes, but I’m here to add to that sentiment. Front buttoning trousers and naughty backdoor luvin’ for them. With the shock of it, her neck disappeared, I”m afraid.

    Oh, and in the second picture, he’s holding the extra length of her dress under his left thigh so she can’t escape, a little light bondage, or so she thinks. Really, he’s suffered a stroke on the left side and the dress-under-the-thigh trick is holding her in place.

    The stroke also explains the lax mouth in the second picture. After his first orgasm, he just can’t manage to stiffen those lips again, although, his manly flag pole has no such challenges.

    A bit of foreplay going on here me thinks! Let’s face it, he’s still got his pants on, and they both look like they’re erm, how do I say this… gagging for it.
    Judging by the gasping flushed faces, another few minutes and they will be ‘doing it’—that is, they will be in the throws of a passionate game of hide the pickle.

    Last post, I swear! But doesn’t the artist look as if he/she did a before and after photo of the definitely sexually engaged couple? The look before, “I’m so glad my legs are shaved/waxed and I have used feminine cleansing products.” As he creeps a hand up toward her nether regions, lewdly staring at the bosom she is toying with covering…coquettishly. She’s approaching en pointe (nearly) ballet maneuver with one foot scotched for entry/probing and the other leg extended and open at knees (yes, open for business!)

    Second photo, well I’ve said it before – they’ve done the deed, pants and boots on for decency’s sake, the body and facial expressions relay what has happened (slacked open male mouth, her one eye nearly squinting in bliss.) Now, if the actual content is anywhere as naughty as the cover, I’d read it. I like detailed amorous exploits in my trashy books, not innuendo.

    His pants are still up in the back and they don’t look loose enough to be undone in the front.

    But that’s the beauty of front fall trousers! You don’t have to undo the waistband to get to his junk . . . and since all women’s drawers (if any were worn) were crotchless, she doesn’t have to take off anything to “enjoy” his junk (why am I obsessed with the word junk today?).

    i’m too young to look at that cover!

  8. phadem says:

    Well…I voted no because it def looks like the back of her dress is doing a cock block on the front cover, and on the stepback his pants are doing the cock block as they don’t look to even be sagging. I would totally be for them actually having sex in the cover art tho should the publishers go that route one day…which is perversely at odds with my morals. Huh!

  9. phadem says:

    Aaaand, I just saw Kalen’s remarks two above my first. Maybe the publishers have already disregarded my morals. *swoon!*

    See there is a couple of picture missing between the front cover and the side step.

    See the front cover they are talking, the hero whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

    Then at the corner of his eye, he sees the BIGGEST spider ever crawling on the ceiling, and thus screams like a big girl.

    The heroine, for the love of her duke, climbs on the stool/chair and tries to kill it.  He is supporting her waist. She has turned round effetivly facing him.

    The spider falls from the ceiling on to the hero, which makes him panic, thus causing her to fall and land rather akwardly on his lap.

    Thus the picture in the sidestep.  Those aren’t facial expressions of lust, but in fact of pain, for she has been hurt by his belt buckle and he has just had the family jewels squashed by the heroine falling

    The winner of the giveaway is AndieG – yay for AndieG! But I’ve reopened the comments because, well, there’s plenty to discuss, right? Right.

  12. Lisa richards says:

    Oh guys- can’t you see- its McSteamy and little sis dressed for Halloween as the Earl and his wife, and OMG     she has broke “it” again.

  13. It’s quite clear…they’re singing!  Probably some ballad by Journey.  Very emotional.

  14. Christina says:

    @Sybylla – you mentioned not knowing where what what in the butt came from. This YouTube video should answer all your questions (safe for work, except for the part where you giggle hysterically at your desk for 5 minutes).

  15. Rose Fox says:

    His pants still being on is irrelevant. He clearly has his left hand up her dress, which totally counts as doing it (ask any lesbian). You can tell by the look of satisfied concentration on his face that he’s just about retrieved whatever he lost in there.

    Spam word: parts23. Too easy, just like the Earl’s well-claimed wife.

  16. Joyce says:

    Oh, they are definitely doing it! And they are nearing the “peak” ^_^

  17. Eva says:

    I think she got a little confused in the Historical Dress section of the wax museum. She wanted to see if the Wax Man had ALL his parts, and yessiree! He did.

  18. I was surfing when I passed by your website. I must admit that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post here!

    I’m pretty sure it’s a reverse Heimlich maneuver.
