I don’t love either cover but, if I had to pick, I’d choose the US cover. I really like the couple kissing, but you can barely see the title of the book because they and Sarah’s name are so big.
I greatly prefer the UK edition cover. The artwork is lovely; moreover, art doesn’t give me the frequently off-putting ‘who are these people?’ impression I get with cover photos of models on contemporary romance novels.
I am pretty neutral, although the UK version signals “chick lit” more than romance. Apparently I have internalized signifiers without even realizing it?
I honest to God have no idea if I’ve ever successfully entered a Rafflecopter drawing.
I suspect not.
Embarrassing, really.
I prefer the American version. The UK one looks a bit cartoonish.
I prefer the UK cover. It fits a Christmas-set book.
I think I like the UK version, there’s something warm about it. US version is nice, but not as cool as UK version in my opinion.
I don’t have a strong preference over either cover, but I do like the layout of the US edition more.
I don’t really have a preference… I think it would depend on if there are actually reindeer in the story.
Also, I am not sure that I coptered correctly—how exactly does that work?
Honestly, the US cover makes me think that the heroine, at least, is getting snow down the back of her pants, a decidely unsexy image.
Of course, this may be related to the reason I left my natal state of Michigan and moved South as soon as I could!
@hapax – you are a smart person to get out of winters MI, where I am now
I’m ambivalent to which cover or type so is it acceptable to enter all 3 of the drawings to increase my chances? Or must I pick only one?
I find both covers rather meh, but if I have to choose, I’d go with the US cover.
Thank you, both Sarahs, for the giveaway!
@JaneDrew I think it’s important for an author to be transparent about the story so I can tell you THERE ARE NO REINDEER IN THIS BOOK. There is a moose, there is a hint of bear but no actual sighting, and there are dogs. Lots of dogs. The image on the UK cover is actually a sled pulled by dogs. They look like reindeer because their curling tails are stuck in the face of the one behind (which must be a bit unpleasant if you’re not the lead dog), making it look like antlers. The UK cover image is taken from one of my favourite scenes in the book, a night time sled ride which is all based on fact and carefully researched (but I took the creative liberty of omitting the fact that you might be pelted in the face by frozen dog poo)
Thank you for entering and thank you Sarah for giving away copies!
I prefer the US cover, but wouldn’t mind the UK cover quite so much if the flesh tones of the couple (small though they may be) were a little less . . . orange. Just stands out and clashes with the background. If not for that I’d say they were dead even.
@JaneDrew: you should be entered if the counter at the top of the entry panel says ” 1/1 entries used.” If you’d like, email me the email address you used to enter and I’ll check the log! Sorry the copter was troublesome.
@SB Sarah: Ah-hah! Thank you! I did not realize that I had to put my e-mail address in an additional time in order to be counted. That’s now sorted—and I didn’t accidentally enter myself for all three copies, which I had been a bit concerned about.
@Sarah Morgan: After several minutes of hand-flaily fangirling (eeee! I love your work! eee! lather, rinse, repeat…), I am now coherent enough to say, “Oh! Sled DOGS, that makes so much more sense, how did I not see that it was sled dogs….” Thank you! I guess I just think sleigh + Christmas = reindeer. Also, I would totally buy that the unseen bear is in fact hiding behind that tree in the back left.
Thanks for the giveaway. The UK cover reminds me more of Christmas than the US cover does.
I prefer the type and overall layout on the US cover – it’s cleaner and easier to figure out what’s going on in the image, but I like the UK image more, especially now that I know it’s based on a scene in the book.
I agree with Hapax – rolling around in the snow only seems sexy if you haven’t actually rolled in the snow. I also escaped out of Michigan asap (but to Chicago, so I still get to enjoy winter and all the seasons).
both covers are cute
oops – not sure if I was supposed to enter both?!
I like both covers, but the UK version has an edge – it’s just very Christmasy & pretty
I like the Christmasy-ness of the UK cover, but it does seem cartoony, so I guess I’ll vote for the US version.
I prefer the UK cover. It’s a beautiful image and I would be much more likely to stop and investigate this book in a store. The US cover is easily overlooked, IMO, just b/c it been done so much.
@Jane Drew er…don’t tell anyone but when I first saw this cover I thought they were reindeer too (and I thought it was strange because there are no reindeer in the book) and then I stuck my nose right against the cover and saw that the tail position had created the reindeer illusion. Maybe they are dogdeer. Or Reindogs. So glad you enjoy my books. Thank you!
I think both covers are pretty awful 🙁 I’d probably go for the US cover, if forced to choose.
I like the US cover better.
I love the kissing couple the most but they are both great covers. Thanks so much for a great give-away!
Both covers are nice. Maybe the US cover since it’s a different kind of pose.
I prefer the US edition but they are both cute! Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I like the UK covers, they are cute and whimsical and most of Sarah Morgan’s books have the same style so they go together.
