I do get disappointed with the Medical covers as often they seem totally unrelated to my story. Of course when there are two stories in one book it is impossible to please both authors.Sue MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475372981173809219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-65626718914653405112017-07-18T07:42:07.203+10:002017-07-18T07:42:07.203+10:00The Kiss covers were really nice, they had some go...The Kiss covers were really nice, they had some gorgeous ones!

And overly muscle bound guys don't do much for me. Couples or singles are fine, and sometimes, just a picture with a hint of a face is pretty sexy!lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702597564760699067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-12591245859990982532017-07-18T06:21:33.962+10:002017-07-18T06:21:33.962+10:00Hi Stefanie

Really interesting!<br /><br />I can't choose a fave - though I like the Kiss one and the German cover in particular. I like people on the covers, and some hint of intensity between them. Like Michelle I'm not a fan of over-muscled heroes that look like they spend more time at the gym than with the heroine. It's a fine line sometimes. :) Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-60324166489883803012017-07-17T15:50:01.189+10:002017-07-17T15:50:01.189+10:00Hi Stefanie, what an interesting post!

I really enjoyed reading the back-in-the-day cover process article, also noted the different titles then, not the trope driven ones these days.<br />Of all your cute covers, I like the Kiss one the best. That hint of purple tutu is really cute.

Something I'm starting to seriously get over is covers of over-inflated male chests that have been so muscle-pumped (they have to be photoshopped, surely) that they look...wrong, deformed or something. <br /><br />And thanks for the article about how M&B covers used to be created -- so interesting!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-73127941163276493002017-07-17T09:08:58.480+10:002017-07-17T09:08:58.480+10:00Stefanie that article on the M&B covers back i...Stefanie that article on the M&B covers back in the day was fascinating!

I love a good cover but once I'm into a story I have created my own picture of the characters so forget the images on the front in favour of the image the author has created in my mind.Jennifer St Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115014191040562984noreply@blogger.com
