Yes it is hidden. It is beneath everything else with the cover facing down. It's one of those fabio type covers..
And no she hadn't finished reading it/them.
Hubby knows that I read lots of romance books. True, some get racier than others.. some not, just good romantic storyline. There were only a couple times I really tried to hide the cover...
Once, he commented about the buff body on the book cover & said in a self belittling kind of way.. that he was "Sorry he couldn't satisfy me with his body, because it didn't look like that". I tried to reassure him that he's gorgeous to me. & that it's not the cover that gets me hot.
I don't think he even realizes what the books are like, I think he thinks that every third page its talking about the male character putting his package into females face... or something like that! He would be SO disappointed if he took the time to read my books! LOL.
But anyway, After he made that comment, I put that book aside for a while. I made sure the books I bought for a while didn't have naked torso's. Not because I'm ashamed of what I'm reading, just don't want to hurt his feelings. I don't hide the books now, but if the cover picture is kind of "buff looking" I don't flaunt it either. I will read it in front of him, , but when I set it down, I put it cover down.
