Covers of the Week #27: Horses on Covers

Posted on October 11, 2021September 30, 2023 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

We’ve highlighted quite a few romance covers here at Sweet Savage Flame. A common theme for many is to include animals, particularly horses, in the background to demonstrate passion and vitality.

(That sentence came off a bit odd, didn’t it?)
