Cover Awe: Intimacy

by Amanda · May 2, 2022 at 4:00 am · View all 6 comments

Let’s look at some adorable and amazing covers!

One Winter's Kiss by L.C. Son. A Black woman in a snowy landscape is wearing a soft golden dress with tons of glittery sequins. She has on a gorgeous crown.

Maya: Here’s one I am OBSESSED WITH.

Tiaras are always the answer

Amanda: That feels like a step above of a tiara, Maya!

Sneezy: Mood music for eyes!

Sarah: Definitely le plus ultra tiara. Stunning.

The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian. An illustrated cover. A person in a dark suit with tailcoat and dark, wavy hair is jumping into another person's arms. They have a green tailcoat and khaki breeches and red hair. They're in front of an ivy-covered stone wall.

Amanda: I really like this and the happy moment of jumping into someone’s arms!

Sneezy: Me too!!!!

Tara: Cute!

Sarah: This cover makes me smile every time I see it. Especially her devious expression.

The Perfect Fake Date by Naima Simone. A Black couple are sitting at a table with champagne flutes. The Black woman is looking over her shoulder and smirking at the camera.

From Vasha: For your next Cover Awe — this is the best fake date photo ever. They’re having so much fun conspiring together!

Sarah: That is a fantastic picture!

Lara: She is having the best time!

Amanda: It’s like she’s silently communicating to the incognito friend who tagged along for safety. “He’s cute and we’re good.”

Sneezy: Plus they look like they’re in a place that serves great food!

The Waitress's Secret by Kathy Douglass. A Black couple in the kitchen. She's wearing an apron and doing something at the counter. He is hugging her from behind. They both have lovely smiles on their faces.

Sarah: Biceps. Laughter. Knife.

Amanda: I love hugs like that!

Elyse: I love covers that convey intimacy like that.

Sarah: The entire composition is so inviting and intimate isn’t it?

Sneezy: Yes!!! Plus it always makes me melt when partners have a great time making food together!!!

    I’d love to know who created the costume for ‘One Winter’s Kiss’ because *nothing* about that looks Photoshopped. Bravo designer(s)!

    Gotta love TWS’s cover. I love the way they look sincerely happy to be together. A lot of romance covers have the people on the cover look like they’re posing for a photographer, but this one looks like people actually interacting with each other, and not with the camera.

    Because everything is better with a tiara

    Love that cover for The Waitress’s Secret! Although the author’s name made me do a double-take, as I’d flirted with writing romances under something very similar (taken from my middle name and my husband’s middle name).

    Okay but counterpoint: doesn’t the Fake Date guy look a little like Ben Shapiro?
