Here's what Jade has to say:
Book Jacket of the Year: SARAH'S EDUCATION (Black Lace).
The great debate over what constitutes an ‘erotic’ image still rages today and is largely subjective. However, of all the books we received for review over the last year the image for the cover of ‘Sarah’s Education’ by Madeline Moore and published by Black Lace was, for us here at JADE, easily the most sensual and erotic image we had seen adorn a book jacket. Without any bare flesh or body parts the simple image spoke seductive, sensual volumes of what was to come - the essence, we believe, of the perfect erotic image.
Let's have a look at that cover, shall we?
My my, this looks like my favourite kind of erotic book:
Purty on the Outside,
Dirty on the Inside!
Okay, so I didn't take the picture or pose for it or even get to choose it, but I like it! No, scratch that. I love it!
My dear 'friend I've never met', Janine Ashbless, received Jade's Award for writer of the year, 2009.
A;though Black Lace, Virgin Books, gets the credit on Jade's site, we all know it's the parent company that makes or breaks a little imprint.
So congratulations, Random House! From the inside out, you really know how to produce award winning erotica!
Thank You. Thank You very much!

Not just stablemates, but award-winning stablemates! I feel like a racehorse ...
Congrats Madeline. See, you weren't sure about this cover at first, were you - And now you love it. I'm pretty sure it was Adam who would have picked the image: he tried his damndest to do so well. He did tell me that at editorial meetings the other RH bods got quite flustered and scared by BL covers!
