Spot The Difference



The Australian editorial office has treated my Tycoon to a makeover for his June release downunder. Blue shirt or yellow, which do you prefer?

I prefer the blue shirt. It makes him look more powerful and the tie stand out more. What kind of chair is the guy in the yellow shirt sitting in?

I like the blue shirt. Maybe because it's my favorite color. :)

I like the blue shirt, I think it looks more professional.

I like him in the Aussie cover more, but I like the background of the US release more - though I'd like him to be wearing the blue shirt. :)

Blue's ahead so far, LOL. Personally I agree. Blue shirts are my favourite, yellow not so much. :-/ Interesting that they chose a different version for Australia. Maybe they thought the original didn't look like Tasmania (or San Francisco) where the book is set. I think it was Jan who suggested it looked like Havana. LOL.

Re the chair: Christa, at first I thought that was a railing of a balcony but now I've checked again and it looks like a white chair. I think the depiction is "resort" and so like balcony or outdoor chairs.

Also, I have seen the Australian office choose slightly different versions of cover art for several recent Desires. Same models, different pose or different background. It seems that the artist does several versions which are then available to the editorial teams.

I actually like the yellow shirt with the yellow tie altho if the blue shirt had a matching blue tie I would like it better. I just don't like the three color combination of the blue jacket, different blue shirt, and yellow tie.

The blue shirt gets my vote, Bron!

I could take him either way but prefer the background in the US release.

Have a good weekend!

Blue shirt. Definitely. But I agree with losing the yellow tie (in both versions.) Shame the Aus cover didn't have him in an open necked shirt. Still corporate, but relaxed corporate...y'know?

Ellen, agree that the combination of colours does not work. What's with the yellow tie, anyway? I'm too busy (not lazy, busy!) to check, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it used on other Desires. Perhaps it's the eye-catching colour they like. *shrug*

Yvonne, I agree that a more relaxed look would have suited the resort setting better. Can't be sure without checking, but I doubt I put him in a tie in the book. Black trousers, shirt, open neck comes to mind. And sometimes less. *g*

Hi Liz. Am currently enjoying your yummy Bride's Baby.

Azteclady, it is a more eyectaching background and the darker look matches the story. Just not the palm tress.

the blue shirt gets my vote, the tie could go though, a navy blue would be better

We need to provide a stylist, don't you think?
