Not quite my favorite clinch pose because it doesn’t make you wonder if he is supposed to be Inside Her but the tights are really bringing it up a level. This is the 1989 cover and they quite simply do not make them like this anymore. Compare:
A later cover of the same book features a painted snowy scene of a red stone castle perched atop a rocky knoll, no bosoms to be seen.

A weekend gift for me: my self-indulgent pulp (said as fondly as possible) order of used books came in and look at this cover! Exquisite. Incredible.
Cover of a slightly tattered Johanna Lindsey paperback titled Defy Not the Heart, adorned with a classic clinch cover where a golden-maned muscular shirtless man—who is wearing lavender tights!—pulls a breathy, curvy, raven-haired woman with shimmering blue eyeshadow to him and caresses her flamboyant red and gold off-the-shoulder velvet gown just below her ample bosom

Do I need to start a fight with ThriftBooks about their definition of a historical romance novel because WHAT IS THIS
Screenshot of ThriftBooks “the best Historical Romance Novels” lists 1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon “takes place in post-wwii England and 18th century Scotland and is full of swashbuckling adventure and plenty of romance.” 2. The Night Corcus by Erin Morgenstern “There’s plenty of intrigue, sparkle, and young love.” 3. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy “for readers who like classics and are in it for the long haul” “story of a tragic love affair”

Possibly the most hilariously ill-advised thing I’ve seen: this interior decor game is emphasizing Black History Month (cool!), and today is:
A Tribute to Rosa Parks
a “factual” blurb that tells you nothing new & leaves out her organizing background
AND
*decorating a bus interior to honor her*
Game challenge screen: 20h A Tribute to Rosa Parks. “Let’s give it up to this week’s leading figure for Black History Month! Rosa Parks, often hailed as the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement,” was a pivotal figure in American history whose courageous act of defiance sparked a profound shift toward racial equity. Parks became an emblem of resistance when she refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger despite segregation norms during that time. Her bravery and unwavering commitment to justice inspired countless individuals worldwide and galvanized the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks’ legacy endures as a beacon of hope and resilience, reminding us of the power of one individual to spark transformative change An image of an all-white/unfinished bus interior with buttons on various furnishing items.
