It had been more than ten years since tracker Ethan Bia had
seen the woman who'd loved him and left him with no
explanation. FBI agent Joanna Rhodes was as beautiful and
secretive as ever, but insisted on keeping their past—and
their passion—where it belonged. Ethan knew tracking an
elusive killer through the mountains was their assignment,
but his need for answers was as tempting as his urge to
touch Joanna. Unfortunately, resisting both was crucial to
surviving this mission. A mission that would determine how
long Joanna stuck around once it was over….
I like the Intrigue's Ulitmate Heroes covers!!! Sweet looking hunks! (JoAnn White 12:16pm June 22, 2009)
I love to see the hunky guy on the cover, but I want the background to be specific to the content of the book. I love Suzanne Brockman's books...her characters are super. (Robin McKay 12:52pm June 22, 2009)
I love seeing the hero or heroine on the cover but I would really love it if it matched the descriptions in the book (Diane Sadler 6:57pm June 22, 2009)
I agree with Robin and Diane. I don't trust publishers when they don't match the cover with the story. (Karin Tillotson 7:01pm June 22, 2009)
When I'm looking through a book rack, I'm often drawn to a book by the cover. I guess that I don't subscribe to the saying 'you can't judge a book by its cover. (Rosemary Krejsa 9:20pm June 22, 2009)
I like the covers for the most part of the new Intriques - but it really ticks me off for the covers not to match the description of the hero or heroine in the book!! (Martha Lawson 12:02pm June 23, 2009)
Intrigue is my favorite Harlequin line. The current blue cover with the fingerprints is my preference. Your Kansas City Finest series is one of my favorites. The Colby Agency books were good. Read the Thurlos. Always pick up a Debra Webb book. Have read a few of the 43 Light Street books. It is too late to think, I can think of stories, but not the title or authors. Let us just say, I haven't met an Intrigue I haven't liked. (Patricia Barraclough 12:16pm June 23, 2009)
Proving once again that we all judge the book by its cover to some extent... (Mindy Ewing 3:36pm June 23, 2009)
Hey, gang-- A thousand apologies for not responding to your comments on Monday. I ended up having to deal with some family stuff that took most of the day, and I just plumb forgot!
Everything is fine now, but I wanted to drop by and apologize. I appreciate all the kind comments about my books and about Intrigue and its covers.
The covers really went through some changes, yes? I think it's an interesting glimpse of our cultural history and how what "sells" a book has changed over the years.
Again, thanks for stopping by! Julie (Julie Miller 1:36pm June 24, 2009)
Diane and Karin--I'm with you... it can nag at my subconscious when I'm reading a book if the cover art doesn't match the character description on the pages. It won't stop me from buying the book, but it'll bug me ;)

My favorites are probably the hero-alone covers--if they get the hero right!
I do love my NINE-MONTH PROTECTOR cover with the pregnant heroine--but mostly because the DID get Detective Cooper Bellamy right, and, the palette of colors is just so soothing and gorgeous. It really conveys tenderness, shelter, protection to me--that tender ambiance is a rarity on Intrigues.
