I think it would be great to see both of them on the cover. Gives you an idea of the chemistry between them, if done well. mho :)
Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with the rest of us.
Have a Lovely weekend!
Definitely the hero :))))
I love seeing the hero and the heroine on covers...........as long as they look like the characters in the book ;)
winkipinki1134 @ hotmail . com
Oh this easy, a HOT guy. I loved Eat, Prey, Love.
it should be an interesting story with howard involved!! cannot wait to read this:)i miss your writings in between releases!! i re-read all the storys i have so far!!:)always beautiful art and graphics and love the humor involved in your storys! thank you kerrelyn!
I think both would suffice I love the books they are all great
I <3 every one. I can't wait !
I prefer both but I agree with CarolDee - when they don't look like described in the book it tends to be a bit of a pet peeve for me :-).
Like most of the Love at stake covers - the German ones are pretty cool, too.

Thanks for hosting such a great contest.
I would love to see both the hero and heroine on the cover, though only from the chin down. A faceless cover art draws gives the reader more imagination!
I will see both of them. This is moor romantic.
I like to see both the hero and heroine on the cover so I can picture the story in my head as I read it!!! I love your Love At Stake series!!! My favorite is Eat, Love, Prey!!! ^^
Luviegurl920@hotmail.com
Both, definitely. Pre-ordered your new one, can't wait to read it! Stocking up on tea and chocolate for the adventure ;)
Hi Kerrelyn!
Love your books! I like seeing both the hero & the heroine, though I think all of your book covers were appropriate & wonderfully done. My favorite so far is the cover of Vampire Mine :)
I think it's always sexier when there are both the hero and the heroine!!!
I would rather see both =) tree1313chevy@gmail.com
the hero is a must! but also hero and heroine together...
hina92@libero.it
I rather have both hero and heroin because i'd would like to see how about main character could look like,will i'm reading a great book.
for example with Kerrelyn Sparks new book coming out "wild about you", i couldn't picture Howard in my mind till i saw him on the cover, also with the women on the cover it shows me who our Howard bear is going to fall in love with.
CANADA Love you Kerrelyn Sparks <3
I prefer to see both the hero & the heroine on the cover of a book. My favorites are the covers that express tension or wariness between the couple.
Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!
harlan_michelle(at)yahoo(dot)com
Both of them on the cover is great!! Thanks for a shot at this great give a way :-)
I actually like to see both. Gives me a good picture to start with in my head.
gotta have the hero!! i dont mind carrying around a half naked man.. even the heroine isnt too bad.. but both of them...sometimes the poses are a bit too risque for me.. lol
alainala at hotmail dot ca
I would love to see them both, because it gives me an idea of what they look like before I read them!
I like having the hero on the cover but if its about a heroine I would rather have her on the cover.
blueyedgal623 at gmail dot com
It deepends I think my favorite are the body shots of the hero and heroine no faces but then again in Eat Prey Love Carlos looks pretty tempting. I guess it just depends on how inviting the models are.
So long as the characters on the cover match those in the story, I have no preference (though as alainala said, I don't mind carrying around a half nekkid man on my books!) It's also nice to get a visual of those you are reading about!
im toowould love to see just the hero, but bith is sometimes better. i have read all your books and cant wait for howards to come out got it preordered just love them.
I would rather see both of them :) that way you can see a chemistry both the characters and you would also see a difference between the characters :)
I certainly have to say first that the cover models should actually resemble the characters.
Now for me, who I want to see is the slightly more main character. And what I mean, is for instance, in your Love at Stake series I prefer to just see the character we already know from the series. To let the new love interest be left up to my imagination, while now being given a way for me to see the returning character in a possible way.
However, if it is a new series or something stand alone I like to see both, because they are entering at the same time and they should be presented on equal ground.
Although I'm partial to heroes I would like to see both on the cover, gives it more interest I think. =)

I LIKE BOTH ON THE COVER WITH THE PRIMARY FIRST!
BOBBIE

It kind of depends on the story. Being a woman of course I'd love to see the hero. LOL But, both is good too. I do agree though that the models should resemble the characters. That is very important. Can't have a dark haired hero and them the cover shows a blonde one. Just doesn't fit.
Both! I would love to see both.
I love seeing them both cause by book's end they r each others compliment.
wmeyer@atlanticbb.net
My favorite cover has always been the "clinch" cover, so I definitely would rather see both the hero and heroine.
Barbed1951 at aol dot com
I only buy books with both the hero and the heroine on the cover. I didn't realize that, but I just looked at my bookshelf and it doesn't lie! I like to see if there's a connection between them. That's what draws me into the book if it's not from an author I usually read.
It depends on the book. I love your covers!
I like to see both
I like to see both. It is even better if they resemble the characters in the book some what.
melchavez805 at yahoo dot com
I'd say both.
bn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
I don't mind seeing both of them.
I am so looking forward to Howard's book :)
justjanhvi at gmail dot com
I love to see both. The hero and the heroine give you an added bonus of the scenarios you play in your head.
I like to see both, the hero and the heroine, on a book cover.
mom1248(at)att(dot)net
It depends on the story whether or not I want to see the hero, heroine or both. I would say if the woman is the badass type that does the rescuing she should be on the cover alone. If the romance is secondary to some mystery, the one who is most in danger should be on the cover. If it is equally about both of them they share the cover.
I prefer both.
I would like to see both on the cover. It shows exactly who the book is about. Besides is alwaya nice to see a hot man.
angelbiker82@gmail.com
I personally like to see them together to see how they match.
Saying that it's also good to have a bit of mystery so if just one on the cover it's a nice surprise to get the authors description of the other half.
I love to see the Heroes on the cover. Not that I'd mind both on the cover but my preference is that hot Alpha Hero.
Thanks for a great giveaway.

I love seeing both on the cover! And I can't wait for Howard's book! Soo excited!! beth_laptas@yahoo.com
I love to see the hero on the cover and enjoy it more when they match the characters description.
meingee@yahoo.com
I prefer the hot chick, whether she's the Heroine or not. But that's just my personal choice.
NoraAdrienne(at)gmail(dot)com
I would want both the hero and the heroine because the books are about the relationship between the two not just one or the other. It lets the reader know that the book is not mainly just about one person, but the journey two people take to find each other and themselves. Love the book and can't wait for more to come
I really love hero covers
Dannyfiredragon@aol.com
I don't really have a preference one way or the other. If the cover is well done I like it. However I guess if I HAD to chose, I do like seeing both the Hero and Heroine on the cover vs just one or the other.
I enjoy seeing the hero, heroine, or both. I love the covers of your books and always pick the new ones up the day they come out.
I like to see any of the combinations of the hero, the heroine, and/or both together!!
you are an awesome writer and I'm glad you share your awesomeness with all of us!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
-trupert@comcast.net
would love to see both the hero and heroine on your cover. Can not wait to see the next book for Love at Stake. An re-reading all of your volumes of these till this next one of Howard comes out. thanks for such fantastic books!
Joanie Watson Dixon
I would like to see both of them on the cover. It gives you an idea of what they look like. I also can't wait to read Howard's book. I have been waiting so long for his.
Fran Johnstonbaugh
I'd like to see both on the cover, and see what attracted them to each other. Love the Love at Stake series.
Look forward to reading, keep them coming.

I love all your covers. I like how you can mix them up. Although, I am more partial to the men on the pages lol.
I will say Howard is much hotter than I had invisioned. I love to see both the hero his love interest on the cover.

The HERO!

I usually got for the books with the hero on then first.
riverinaromantic AT aol DOT com
Usually in a bookstore I give more attention to the books with the hero on the cover :)
Depending on the book, either works... but why not both. I have liked many of your past covers and enjoyed every single book of yours I have read... so for me, the cover is gratuitous because I am already a fan and your books automatically go into my spreadsheet!
- lavendersbluegreen(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would rather see both and thanks for the great giveaway :)
reginamayross@gmail.com
A REALLY HOT LOOKING GUY ALWAYS WORKS...BUT BOTH IS ALSO A GOOD THING. SO ...BOTH I GUESS. IT'S WHATS INSIDE THAT INTRIGUES ME, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I SO VERY MUCH ENJOY YOUR BOOKS. I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON A GOOD STORY WHEN I PICK UP ONE
OOPS FORGOT MY ADDRESS. ITS A BIT EARLY HERE IN OREGON, THE SUN ISNT EVEN AWAKE YET. I WISH YOU BRIGHT BLESSINGS AND MUCH CONTINUED SUCESS. <3 JONI

Hmm, choices this early in the morning. In Order:
Hero

Need more caffiene this morning. Hope everyone has a good day!
A year ago I would have said just the hero but I'm finding more and more couple covers I like lately.
sgradel(at)gmail(dot)com
Thank you for making this international! I usually love to sea both hero and heroine.
alinutza4u2004(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I'd rather see the hero! I love both Palmer and Sparks. Their books are awesome!
I would rather see the hero or both.
amy2read89(at)gmail(dot)com
I would rather see a HOT, good looking, well-toned and muscular hero! *sigh*
THAT catches my eye first about a book/ebook...THEN I read the blurb and/or excerpt!

I would like to see both on cover. Sometimes a good cover picture entices me to pick up a book and read it. Thanks for the giveaway! Kayko118(at)yahoo(dot)com
I like it when both are on the cover.
For me I would like to see both the hero and heroine on the cover. I like to see what both of them would like.

Sometimes the way a series is written I like to see just the hero or just the heroine. For your particular series I think both of them on the cover ramps up what I like to call the hotness factor of the two main characters. The artist for your covers has being doing an excellent job especially with the last three or four covers. Will be a fan of your books forever.
It really depends upon the book/author for me. Sometimes I like being able to see the couple and sometimes just the individual. I guess it depends upon the title and how the models are posed.
Either Hero or Heroines, need to focus on one person i guess :)
