Ahoy, mateys! The embarrassment of riches plundered from a Google search for “erotic romance” is not nearly exhausted yet, oh no! Brace yourselves, ye crew of the good ship Holy Shit What The Fuck, and man the eyewash stations.

Sarah: Ah, one of the seven signs of retirement for an aging CG erotica cover model: when your vahooey is so stretched out that fire departments park their hook & ladder trucks in it.

Okay, now that you all have freaked me out, and made me giggle, I am so looking forward to my wedding night in 18 days. Unfortunately, until then, I have no awesome stories to share, mine or others. But I…
@Eva—
You are quite welcome. I loved Behold Your Queen! and she did one on Ruth, too (if I remember her correctly). I tracked down a hb of Heart’s Conquest (Saxon beauty, Norman hero during 1066), which is my…
I’m curious as to what happened to the bottom of guy #3’s legs? They seem to stop at the knee while hers dress goes all the way to the bottom edge of the cover.
Hhmm… I think this is…
