'Bachelor' Sean Lowe channels Fabio in Harlequin book cover shoot (Photos)

Move over Fabio, "Bachelor" Sean Lowe will show off his abs when he poses for a Harlequin book cover on the second episode that airs on Jan. 14, 2013 on ABC.

Lowe, who looks like a giant Ken-doll, will put pour on the romance on Monday night, wearing a tight v-neck tee and other chest-bearing clothing.

On this romantic group date, Sean will pose with some of this season's contestants for a steamy Harlequin romance book photo shoot.

There is a big prize in the Harlequin contest, so the ladies have to do their best to show how attracted to Sean they are after just one episode.

The contestant who shows the most "spontaneity, flair and chemistry" with Sean Lowe won't necessarily win his heart.

However, the winner will get a deal with Harlequin that includes appearing on three future book covers.

Tierra, Selma, Katie, Robyn, Catherine, Amanda, Lesley M., Kacie, Brooke, Kristy, Daniella, Taryn, and Diana are all on the group date with Sean.

Reality Steve reveals that Kristy, a Ford model, wins the Harlequin cover deal. Surprised?

Love was in the air at the Harlequin photo shoot according to director Margie Miller. She told the Washington Post, "The chemistry was real ... Most of the time we work with people who have only met 10 minutes prior to the shoot and then have to look like they are in love. This time, we saw the possible beginnings of love."

Love and sparks are exactly what this season of "The Bachelor" needs. With last week's debut ranking as the "Bachelor" franchise's lowest ever, spicing things up is necessary.

Just when we though Emily Maynard's season was the most boring show ever.

According to E!, 6.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the premiere of Sean Lowe's season of "The Bachelor"on Jan. 7, 2013. It reportedly attracted a 2.3 rating, down one-tenth from last season's debut.

Hopefully the crazy girls in the mansion and a hot Harlequin photo shoot will give the show a ratings boost.

After all, watching a blonde ex-jock who is a self-proclaimed Jesus freak who reportedly won't shack up with his final three ladies in the Fantasy Suite isn't exactly must-see TV.
