[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the replies! Agree wholeheartedly that there are badly written books in all genres. I have less patience for bad writing in other genres. If a plot is formulaic and predictable in a detective novel, it ruins it much more. There is a lot of very good writing in the romance genre -- I definitely don't want to perpetuate the bad writing myth.

I definitely don't think an illustrated cover is any sort of guarantee, of course not. It's really the clinch covers  that I am asking about. I do understand that there has been a shift away and wondered if there is some kind of message being sent (by the publisher or whoever designs book covers) about content. I have unconsciously stayed away from all photographed/choreographed covers -- and I am trying to examine if this is just my hangup or if there is a difference being communicated by the covers?

Thanks to PP above on the shift away... will follow those links.

To the PP who mentioned Jasmine Guillory, I have read everything in Libby!
