It's young, fresh and very different.<br /><br />I love M&B but some of the covers and titles make me cringe and put me off buying them in my local WHS. If the rest of the new Riva line are as lovely as this cover I wouldn't feel at all embarrassed being seen with one.<br /><br />Going to be really controversial now and say I'd rather not see too much of a hot, sexy half-naked man on the cover of a Modern Heat. Yes, I know I sound mad :) I prefer to read about him inside the book and think the covers look more sophisticated if they just feature the heroine.<br /><br />Congrats on your new book and such a gorgeous new cover.<br /><br />J xJudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011412959203240991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25455577.post-20502793377203188372010-09-29T19:19:43.049+10:002010-09-29T19:19:43.049+10:00Well having just done author edits on a desert isl...Well having just done author edits on a desert island book I'd be stoked to get the left half of the image on mine (go nature) but--yeah--a good torso in swimmers was a missed opportunity, I think.

On the negative side, I don't get a sense of romance from the cover - like Jo mentioned, having a male also on the cover would be good.

Okay, maybe we could do with a bit more 'maleness' on the cover - and less bikini (we do like a bit of hot male bod to look at). But I think this is fresh and vibrant and modern.
