Analyzing Great Covers


by Starla Kaye 

Okay, I’m prejudiced. I have had three books published with Decadent and I love every cover. All right I admit that there are a gazillion other good covers with the publisher. But this is an “all about ME” moment.

First, let’s look again (and again, and again) at the cover for my first book with 1 Night Stand, Maggie’s Secret Wish. Is it “hot” or what! There is my pretty Maggie, who has dreamed naughty things about getting spanked, hands bound and up nice and close with the man Madame Eve matched her with for a very special night. And what a match he is! Ian, is a Scottish hunk (note those great pecs and biceps), who happens to be a steamy erotica author…and a Dom. Be still my heart….

My second 1 Night Stand book, Starting Over, was my first try at writing a gay romance and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Just look at that cover. Are those two men “yummily hot” or what?! And I don’t even care if they’re gay. What I cared about was sharing a special story about Corbin (the man in the background) who has finally decided to ease into the lifestyle he has only dreamed about. He needed to be matched with a man equally special…and Madame Eve found him. Matt (the dark-haired, devilish looking man) also has been dealing with a drastic change in his life. The man he’d thought he would be with forever died and he struggles to go on with his bruised heart.

And then there is my newest book, The CEOand the Cowboy, with yet another wonderful cover. The great chested man with a tie is Daniel, the CEO, an experienced gay man recently burned by a cheating lover. He is reluctant to get romantically involved anytime soon, but when he meets Calhoun (the “hot” T-shirted man in a hat)… well, he can’t help wanting to get to know the cowboy up close and personal. But Calhoun has never been with a man “that way.” Unnerved by his attraction to the CEO is putting it mildly. An unlikely match, but they’ll win your heart as you see them struggle to find something special.
