In Bed With The Duke by Christina Dodd, is a 2010 Two Image Cover nomination that departs from the usual step back clinch. Is it a winner?

• Yes! A beautiful heroine on the front with a handsome hero on horseback racing to her rescue is what romance is all about.

• Maybe. I like the front cover with the gorgeous cream colored gown and backs are always sexy but the step back doesn't mesh with the cover. Two different styles.

• No! Thumbs down because the front cover with the heroine's back is a trend that has been over used. The step back shows promise but the hero is so tiny....sigh. Where is the innovation?
