Bolton´s Sacrifice - a book I loved. (The cover with the golden ring). So I would pick that one up and check what was about.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-60949678292811689772011-01-26T10:49:17.126+00:002011-01-26T10:49:17.126+00:00I like both covers, artistically and design speaki...I like both covers, artistically and design speaking, they are both good and have thought put into them (and production values). However, one could argue with fairness that both of them are "of a type" and not that original. My daughter has a lot of tudor novels with covers exactly like these two!<br />I don't know if one could call authors such as Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir (when writing tudor fiction) "romance" - probably not - but their covers, for example, are very like the one on the left.<br />best wishes<br />Maxine.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-28376900782072695092011-01-25T22:44:04.844+00:002011-01-25T22:44:04.844+00:00Karen - I agree completely with Paul.

I like it has the subtitle 'Elizabeth's Spymaster,' except it's placement directly above the author's name makes it look as if the author is Elizabeth's spymaster...Paul Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102723351945251883noreply@blogger.com
