Covers have a purpose: they signal the genre within.

A cartoon cover of two people dressed casually for camping does not--and I cannot stress this enough--signal EROTICA to anyone.

Holy jumping WHAT THE HELL, , WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL--you are setting that book (and its author) up to fail.

screenshot of NetGalley page showing the cover for _Hot Pursuit_ by Cassie Connor; the cover shows a white woman with long light brown-reddish hair up in a high pony tail, weaing boots, yeans, and a long sleeve shirt, and a white man with short dark brown hair, wearing caqui pants and a short sleeved shirt, somewhere outside with mountains in the far background and a body of water near their feet. The NetGalley tags say "erotica, romance, women's fiction" and the publisher is Harper Collins UK, imprint One More Chapter

    @herhandsmyhands @romancelandia @bookstodon OK, but is it erotica or is it women's fiction? Because I'm really struggling with the idea that it's both. Maybe very steamy women's lit? I feel like they are casting way too wide a net here...

    The vector illo style isn't helping this at all. If you told me this was NA hiking/college romance, with fade to black closed-door intimacy, I'd be more willing to believe it than if you handed this to me and said it's erotica. Oof.
