The following post is intended to be fun. It is not intended to poke fun at the author, book or designer. After I thought of this post idea, I discovered others have played as well. You can find Harlequin Junkies, “Caption the Cover” feature and Smart Bitches, Trashy Books “Cover Snark”
“Leave if you want, but I am keeping your horse.”
The scornful look she is giving him as she strokes the horse made me immediately think she had something to say. It kind of looks like he is dressing to leave… Do you ever caption covers? I do it all the time and giggle-snort in the bookstore isles.
About the Book:
Daredevil’s Mistress
by Charlene Namdhari
Series:Fire & Ice Book
Goodreads | Amazon
Twenty-four-year-old virgin Samantha Harman longs to escape her boring life and overbearing father in South Africa. She gains temporary freedom when she visits a friend’s ranch in Arizona. Her father’s price for letting her go? Return to an arranged marriage. But an unexpected attraction to a sexy cowboy is hard to fight and soon she’s in bed with the devil.
Cody Bentley, a hardworking no-nonsense rancher, has been hurt before. To him, women are wanton troublemakers out for gold. Then his sister’s feisty friend comes for a visit and ensnares him in a white-hot passion that threatens to melt the icy wall around his heart.
Will Samantha dare to defy her father’s demands and convince Cody to take a chance on love?
So what do you think of my caption?
What caption would you give the cover?

Lolz ? that’s really funny. I like this idea. Sometimes you just need to have fun. And romance novel covers, they can be kind of dramatic and intense.
Kristin @ AddictedtoHEA
Ahhhh, I think I love “cover your eyes!” Totally says I love my horse more than you! Bwahahahahaha! When’s your next post like this ??
Kimberly
Hello cupcake. When I find a cover that speaks to me. My head is killing me slowly, so I have been avoiding the internet.
Adriana @ BooksOnHerMind
I feel like the girl is saying to, “Cover your eyes!” to the horse. I’ve never captioned covers. I kind of want to do it now for fun.
Kimberly
Oh my goodness I like that one!
Mary Reiss
I don’t usually caption the covers but I seem to need to start. I love yours. She is giving him a weird look. Like yeah, this horse is mine buddy – get lost. Cute post.
Mary
Kimberly
Oh I love guessing what strangers are talking about across a crowded room, and captioning things.
sherry fundin
That’s hilarious.
Kimberly
Glad I made you chuckle
Kay @ It's a Book Life
hahahahahahaha
Kimberly
*grins*
Melissa T.
I don’t have an idea of what I’d caption the cover. But your caption definitely made me laugh!
Kimberly
Thanks Melissa
Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
The caption made me laugh out loud! That does look like what she’s saying!
Kimberly
Glad you agree. Thanks Katherine
Teresa Mary Rose
Lol your tagline is much better than the one on the cover haha, she looks so angry!
Kimberly
She does look scorned.
Evelina @ AvalinahsBooks
LOL Kim I love this xDDD
Kimberly
Hehe.. I am glad you enjoyed it Evelina
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra
I think your caption fits perfectly, lol!
Kimberly
Thanks Suzanne this was fun
Kathy @ My Nook, Books & More
Your caption is perfect! She does have a scornful look going on, so definitely take something important of his if he’s leaving ya lol.
Kimberly
Yep, that was my thought.
Stephanie Jane (Literary Flits)
This is a fun idea and I love your caption! She does look like she’s clinging to the horse 🙂
Kimberly
That is what I thought.
Laura Thomas
LOl It;s perfect. I was thinking, :”My horse and I are not impressed!”
Kimberly
I like that one Laura!
Debbie Haupt
Ha I think it fits the picture but I also think the look she was going for was longing. I don’t know maybe she had to burp during the photoshoot and was trying to hold it. 😉
Kimberly
Oh my goodness Debbie, you are funny.
ruthsic
girl…same!
Kimberly
Thanks Ruthstic.
Dani Eide
Haha, your caption is so funny! I think she fell for the horse first! Love the idea of coming up a tagline for covers. Quirky and fun. ❤️❤️
Kimberly
Thank you Dani!
Sam@wlabb
Excellent caption! She definitely has that scorned look, and has a rather possessive arm around the horse.
Kimberly
Thanks Sam!
Melanie Simmons
Those two pictures don’t look right together. If they had just used the picture of the girl with the horse, I think it would’ve worked. But adding in the model styling the shirt off the shoulder is just weird. Happy Thanksgiving.
Kimberly
LOL, I see wha you mean.
lisa thomson
I love your caption, Kim. Haha! This game reminds me a little of the one Fred Armisten plays on Seth Myers where he describes the plot of a book based on a cover of a book he’s seeing for the first time.
This is kind of funny: ” women are wanton troublemakers out for gold” Is this set in the Klondike days? LOL. Still, I shamelessly wouldn’t mind delving into this book.
Kimberly
Oh lord, I just saw him do that with Debbie Macomber’s book the other night and it made me giggle!
Trish @ Between My Lines
Love your caption and don’t think I can beat it. Great post idea, I look forward to more. And now I’ll be at that game too with all my covers 🙂
Kimberly
It was fun and different. Glad you enjoyed it!
Melliane
fun meme!
Kimberly
Thank you!
Stormi Johnson
Haha! Great caption! I was looking at the tagline and thought to myself with that look she is giving she could burn a hole through him….lol.
Kimberly
Agreed. The man is in trouble!
Sophia Rose
Haha! Yes, she does have a good scowl on. He’d better watch it.
Kimberly
Right? Thanks Sophia.
Ailyn Koay
actually i’m thinking more like… look away horsey, he’s mine… kinda thing
Kimberly
LOL, I like that too!
Christy
lol. I’d rather have the horse.
Kimberly
Hehe. I am sure.
