That's just one of the formats for romance type books. It's lame, but I much prefer it to the more recent trend of Corporate Memphis and similarly vague cartoonish covers that are misleading about the content, boring and extremely samey. At least putting some kind of realistic dude on a cover gives you potential eye candy and a bit of camp along with telling you the book is probably going to have sex in it.
Just put a cover on the book if you're too much of a pussy to read it in public but can't be parted from it on the bus.
