I hate to admit it, but that's the cover I've got.
Yes! Add Patricia Briggs and JR Ward to the mix as well.
Even the tattoos are shit.
What's up with the thinly disguised romance novels?

I'm pretty sure I've seen a Romantic fiction/sf novel around somewhere too, but that particular genre mashup doesn't seem to have caught on nearly so much. I guess it just doesn't hit the same buttons.
Lois MacMaster Bujold's Sharing Knife tetralogy is said to be Fantasy Romance. It's the only of her series that I didn't read because the description told me it's too heavy on the romance aspect for my taste.
The whole Dark Fantasy / Paranormal Romance (and several UF writers with female MCs) group has replaced the 'historical' bodice rippers with the Highlanders and pirates. The 'Highland laird' has become a vampire lord, and the sassy Sassenach girl a kickass vampire hunter, it seems.
