Those white dreadlocks are very off-putting, and normally I would say something derogatory, but the man’s expression of “Yeah, I’d do her” kind of saps all the joy out of making such a comment.

Doomsday survival tip: wear clothes that blend in with the background and don’t stand out in contrast to your surroundings. (It’s better to evade trouble than attract it.)
Really I am not getting a doomsday vibe from this cover. She has a Mosin carbine and he has a generic bolt action rifle. Neither is carrying a canteen or backpack or pouches for first aid kit, food, firestarting, ammo or other survival gear. Looks more like folks practicing for deer season or cecking their back forty for feral hog invasion.

“Doomsday, huh? So, does this mean we’re, like, the last two rednecks left on earth?”
“Sure does, sweet-cheeks. Put yer gun down, ‘cos you just hit the man-jackpot!”

Yeah, definitely more of a “let’s go hunting, baby” than a “computer crash just trashed our civilization” kind of picture here. I’m not saying the two situations are entirely incompatible, but if you’re going to do an apocalyptic romance, you have to show the apocalypse along with the romance: something like the loving couple necking on a hillside at a safe distance while they watch hordes of hungry rioters loot and burn a big city.
Come to think of it, if this book had that on the cover, I might actually want to read it. Title that book It’s Doomsday, Baby! and you’ve got me in your target audience.

“You don’t have to be lonely, at Preppers Only dot com.”
Perfect.
“I’ve hunted lions, tigers and bears but never a server before. This should be fun.”
