I am sorry, but I just have to get this off my chest. Do the prople who do the covers never get a synopisis OR something that tells them about the H & h? It is becoming an epidemic. I keep trying not to let it get to me, but this is the last straw. I am in the middle of this story and I have to RANT! The heroine is a blonde with "pale, milky skin". Obviously the heroine is either NOT on the cover or someone put the wrong cover on this book!!!!. I tried to add the cover, but am not computer smart enough......

Hey--I ranted about this
Hey--I ranted about this cover in my review and author Amy Andrews was very forgiving.
The one thing about this cover--at least the spit fire Katya is not simpering as she looks up at Ben. A blonde simpering miss would be just as bad IMO. I do wish there was some kind of adequate communication between the cover artist and the individual who places the order for the cover. Is this an editor? Who initiates the call to the cover artist?

Hi Bonsal ....
I reviewed this one back in February .... the original UK cover suits the book .... if you go to my review and scroll down you will see both covers
yes ... I hate it when they get such an important detail totally wrong

Thank you
KatherineT, I thank you for the other cover. Maybe I just need to move so I can get the UK books instead of these ridiculous US ones. This seems to be becoming more and more of a problem and it drives me NUTS>>>>>

I hate to disappoint you further ...
but it's hit and miss with the UK covers too .... I've had covers with the heroine shown as short brunette hair and in the book she has long silvery blond .... so either the art department is not getting the correct information, or it's just slap together any cover because they're on a deadline ...
