Amber Green ~ Bareback (The Huntsmen 2)
Cover Artist: Croco Designs
From: Loose Id
My good friend Lisa Bea over at Nose In A Book gave this as her fave of 2008. With the comment “it’s haunting” and something about “there is no groping of mantitty“. I think it still has a distinct mantitty feel to it though. I have to say so far we have had Anne Cain and Scott Carpenter and now Croco Designs. Just add in April Martinez and these are all the heavy hitters that show up again and again as the artist on covers that catch my eye.
These people I am badgering, I mean asking, have some damn good taste.
Thanks LBea!

It’s nice to find a cover designed by someone who actually read the book, and in this case, Ms Spanuth has captured the flavor of Amber Green’s story.
Apart from the great covers, the Huntsmen series is a must read. Amber is a wonderful storyteller with a real flare for creating unique and memorable characters.

It’s good to see that people are choosing the beautiful covers, tasteful covers and covers which hint at what the book might be about rather than just skin and clinches. It’s about damn time that publishers realised that a book is its own advertisement and if you have to be ashamed to be seen with it, it’s not performing that task. Had this discussion with LBR romance before!

I love this cover. Not that I have problems with skin or groping, I love skin and groping. But this one stands out in its minimalist approach. Very eye catching.
I love Frauke and Croco Designs so I’m not surprised at all that this is her work.
