Vote for the RUN FOR THE ROSES Final Cover!

It's cover reveal day for  RUN FOR THE ROSES and I am so excited!
A little secret:
I actually shot this cover.
The girl is my niece, the boy is one of my former speech kids,
and the horse is Chance. :)
I am so happy with what Swoon did with it and how it turned out.
And now you get to vote on the final cover!
I think it's so awesome that we're having readers choose!
I won't even try to influence your vote by telling you my favorite.
*cough* color *cough*





Run for the Roses
Release Date: 11/2013
by Swoon Romance

Summary from Goodreads:
Abigail Conrad has spent her whole life training for one goal: to win the roses at the Arabian Youth Nationals. She’s given up friends, a social life, and doesn’t have time to even think about guys -- much less date!

Now that she’s headed off to college in the fall, it’s her last chance to be a Youth National Champion, and she won’t let anything distract her from that dream.

Except maybe Chase, the older brother of Abigail's biggest rival. He’s charming, funny, and possibly Abigail's biggest problem. How can she focus on riding when her mind keeps wandering to Chase’s green eyes and confident smile?


With her dream on the line, Abigail had better learn to fight her growing attraction to Chase, or she might end up losing the roses and the guy.

  12. Great cover! Both versions look fantastic, but I voted for color, since that one seems to pop just a teensy bit more. I love the story behind the cover. So cool how so many people (and horses!) you know got to be part of the creation! :)

  14. Thank is so cool about that being your picture you took! It looks fantastic either way, but the color is my fav too. You get to see Chance's shiny coat better that way. =) Congrats, Rachel!

  15. I like the color cover better too, and I think the story sounds cool as well; it sounds like Abigail is a workaholic, and I like that, of course! :)
