I'm not a romance reader either, so I wouldn't know. But quite often dedicated romance readers acknowledge and gleefully mock the absurdity of the genre covers they get. The SBTB blog semi-regularly runs a "
Cover Snark" feature where they make fun of, among other things, the copious amount of what they like to call "man-titty" alongside general bad graphic design*.

fhtagn?!".
