"Baby" mushes in with the shirt, partly for color, partly for the curly font.<br /><br />The image is of the type I see on m/m romances, headless bare torso, but that doesn't connect particularly with the title. If this showed up on my 'to review' list, I'd be confused. Might read it anyway, depending on the blurb.Crysellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721283067580814034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-39780548415798748942011-10-27T09:41:28.634-07:002011-10-27T09:41:28.634-07:00The cover is certainly eye catching and the practi...The cover is certainly eye catching and the practically bare chested cowboy looks delicious but what does it have to do with a baby? If this awesome looking man held a baby in one of his large, suntanned hands- or even had a baby bottle sticking out of his pocket- it would make more sense to me. Bare chests are everywhere but a bare chest plus a baby...now that is an attention getter.

I do not see a connection between the title and the pic. This might be knit-picking but i'm little disturbed by the amount of pants waist that's shown above the belt, so much material above the belt, it always amuses me secretly like maybe the person is just coming from the bathroom. The swirl above the writing looks like a tatoo so i'd remove that. I think it wld be better if his shirt sleeve was rolled up/cut off more so that his tatoo cld be more visible since it's a part of the whole image anyways. It would've been nice if there was more of a definition for the abs so for that i'd let the shirt be less open or the opening narrower but all in all not bad.Janicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175053073870042983.post-32891138112504860082011-10-23T08:28:57.542-07:002011-10-23T08:28:57.542-07:00Okay, am I the only one who looked at this and, wi...Okay, am I the only one who looked at this and, with the man boobs and lack of defined abs, wondered if it was some kind of bizarre man-gets-pregnant book?<br /><br />He kind of has a smooth, round belly there.

I agree with some other comments that it looks like a Texas/Southwestern-based contemporary romance. I think the swirl under the title/across his chest is too much. It detracts from the image and looks like a tattoo on his chest.

Hard to read. And the image appears disassociated with the title, which could mislead readers. So even if an image is attractive, it still must carry the meaning of the book. As for the genre?
