Cover Frustration Heightens

I could really use input again. This is my fifth version of the cover and I feel as if I need to make a couple of critical decisions. This is supposed to be a ROMANTIC SUSPENSE novel. It is based on a cattle ranch. The dog is a working dog and I know working dogs are popular tropes, thus the reason I wanted to include it. A lot of popular RS right now have only a woman on the cover. I’m getting conflicting advise from the toolbox cover analyzer. Include the dog but kick him out. Include a man, but kick him out. May I have opinions from the crowd?

Keep or Kick for Romantic Suspense?

  • Eliminate the Man but Keep the Dog

  • Eliminate the Dog but Keep the Man

  • Eliminate both Dog and Man
