Isn't it pretty? Yet another win for the Carina art department! I love how it echoes the look of The Sergeant's Lady while clearly showing that Marriage is a civilian story with a pastoral setting. And so far I'm two for two in heroes wearing clothes. Boo-yah! (I know some people love the shirtless covers, but to me historical clothes are so hot it's a shame not to use them. And I trust my writing and my readers' imaginations to show what the guy looks like nekkid when the proper moment comes.)
Oh, that IS pretty. I'm with you--I like the period clothes. Congratulations. I'm very much looking forward to your next book.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, that is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI think it's even more Gone-With-the-Wind-ish than my first cover. (Wonder what I'd get if I actually wrote a Civil War book. ;) )
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover, I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely new cover!
ReplyDeleteLovely cover. We could have so much fun casting stars for the film version.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned Ian Somerhalder and Natalie Portman on my cover art questionnaire.
ReplyDeleteOooohhhhhhh!!!!! Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Susanna, I really like it.
ReplyDeleteWOW. I wish they'd release these in paper. The covers are too splendid to only have a virtual existence.
ReplyDeleteI think that guy is better-looking than Ian Somerhalder. And I'm so happy to see that they didn't feel the need to make him tower over her.
I'm glad they didn't make him bigger than I wrote him, either. Hot comes in all sizes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've currently got two manuscripts in the WIP stage, both with quite tall heroines, 5'9" or so. One is paired with a 6'2" hero and loves that he's so much taller than her and can kind of sweep her off her feet physically. The other has a lover almost exactly her height--I refuse to call him short because 5'9" is average for an Englishman even now and would've been at least a smidge on the tall side for one born in the 18th century--and though at first she worries he thinks she's a giantess, as soon as he disabuses her of that notion she thinks he's just the right size and loves how evenly matched they are. Because variety is a good thing.
Gorgeous cover! On a funny note, I mentioned Ian Somerhalder on my cover art form too :P Popular guy this year.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cover, Susanna! The CP art department never fails to amaze me...
