One more try

On Tuesday I posted a link to a romance novel cover asking if anyone could tell me what was wrong with it. The feedback I got indicated that despite the post title reference to limbs, no one could figure it out.

A hint: count the arms.

Count them again. Two people, five arms.

I admit, I had to read someone's description to figure out where the woman's extra arm was. Though the author was initially aghast at the mistake, now her book is quite the collector's item. And despite the error, it's not too bad as romance covers go. I want that dress the woman is wearing in the worst way.

Without the extra sleeve, of course.
