This is painfully spot on for modern contemporary romance covers. I’d like to see you parody dark romance covers- they’re usually just a mostly black background with an item and the book name, maybe a tagline thrown in there. Bonus points if the item is edgy

Wow! It's a fantastic cover! I would probably buy this, assuming a smutty read in the guise of a cutesy cover. That's what my brain envisions with 'Bite' in the title. Or maybe vampires too. You know what, now that I think about it, vampires would work with this cover too. He's asking permission to enter the house. She says Bite my thumb (because neck wounds are very telling). You are a fantastic cover designer! Have you worked on any covers for other novels? I'd love to see those.

Some historians have spectulated that Romeo & Juliet might not have been intended as a romance, but instead a cautionary tale about getting too carried away with your emotions over someone you just met. If you read the book this theory seems likely as Romeo is shown to rather routinely "fall in love" with various woman before losing interest and finding someone new to "fall in love" with. In the beginning of the book (before he meets Juliet) he is infatuated with another woman (I believe her name is Rosalie, or something like that,) then he meets Juliet and confesses his "love" for he instantly, as soon as his friends hear him talking about Juliet they are so confused and basically ask him "wait, what about that other girl, I thought you liked her?"
