#CoverCrush: Unrivaled


I will freely admit that I judge books by their covers. The cover is usually what first captures my attention when browsing Goodreads or Netgalley. Actually, in all honesty, it isn't just usually, it's pretty much all the time. The cover determines if I look at the synopsis and reviews.


I love historical fiction covers. And this one struck me as soon as I saw it. The soft muted colors are lovely. The woman is interested in the man, but her body language shows resistance and she's holding a piece of paper away from him. The title would suggest a competition or people engaged in the same activity, but not with each other. So many hints in just one image.

What about you? Any book covers capture your attention this week?
