It’s time for more covers for this series, which means it’s time to make a choice.

When I decided to try two different covers for this series, I expected one to be vastly more popular than the other. The problem was that I wasn’t sure which cover style that would be.

The Flatiron Five Fitness and Flatiron Five Tattoo covers have a similar design to the first suite of Carpe Diem Café covers, with a stock photograph. For those two series, though, the photo is of the couple. Here, we went with the hero alone. (It’s challenging to find stock photos of people with the right physical characteristics together in a suitable pose, which is why you see the same ones over and over again on book covers.)

These are the covers with stock photos:

And these are the illustrated covers:

Now it’s time to have the fourth and fifth book covers designed, and I’d like to just go with one style or the other.

Remember that the Flatiron Five Fitness covers are in the process of being changed to illustrated covers.

So, it’s time for you to vote.

I divided the vote by format, because you might make different choices for ebooks than print books. (Maybe not.)

Let me know what you think!
