The other version of the cover has a mandrill (still not a baboon, but closely related to one) – http://cache.smashwire.com/bookCovers/1a6ffde23875f82c32440632be9794de9357d72f

I kind of feel bad cracking on the author since they’re trying to raise funds for a well for their village.

For a moment there, I was wondering if this was a book by a KKK member or ISIS supporter about Jews or something.

I clicked through to see what Nathan meant. Sad.

This cover is an utter failure at telling us what the story is about.

This cover and the title made me think it was animal porn.

The title and tag lines in combination with this image sound like a bad joke. The image and the feel of the tag lines are totally romance (“Her heart was broken in Africa. Her only fault was falling in love”). The result = animal porn wibe.

And the placement of the text could’ve been better. Why is everything double spaced?

I sincerely hope standing on the beach in a pretty dress made her feel better.

It’s the beard. Goes great with a strapless number.

You’re my online friend now I’ve decided.

Except for the beard. I haven’t shaved my legs in a awhile though, does that count?

BTW, I’m in Oman now and they have insanely awesome sand beaches over here, so if anyone needs a stock photo for a lousy or even a good book cover, feel free to leave a comment 🙂
