What better way than to top off a good book than with a GREAT Cover!
Every week, Amanda from On a Book Bender, Christi from Smitten with Reading,and I want to see those Top Off covers that grab your attention! Please play along and tell us your favorites (old, new, or not yet released). Button made by Missie at The Unread Reader and Diana at Book of Secrets.  I also want to give a special shout out to Kelly from Reading the Paranormal and Vanessa from The Jeep Diva who play along every week.
Every once in a while there are covers that just make you say Oh My! Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad, and sometimes it is head scratching. The point of Top Off Tuesday is to show you the ones with their Tops Off! Seriously y’all hunting out Top Off Tuesday covers is one of my favorite pastimes and you should join the fun!
I am still in Novella month!  I do appreciate when an author/publisher/ect put in the time to make a novella’s cover stand out.  This week I picked Fatal Heat: A Navy Seal Novella by Lisa Marie Rice and it looks like a really good read!  Who doesn’t love a man in (or out of) uniform!
Former Navy SEAL Max Wright is out of the SEAL Teams forever after being almost killed by an Afghani RPG. He retreats to his former XO’s beach house to lick his wounds. He wants to snarl at the world but finds it hard to snarl at his new neighbor, his XO’s beautiful goddaughter, Paige Waring, who also comes with a ridiculously likable, totally undisciplined dog.
As a plant geneticist, Paige has always been focused on her work, but when she and her dog run into Max, she recognizes the lonely, shattered man behind the rugged exterior. To her mind, sexiness always comes with a white lab coat, not with acres of tanned muscle and a tough mind-set.
When Paige’s work becomes the target of criminals and sheÂ’s abducted, Max springs into action. Though still terribly wounded, this tough as nails SEAL goes on his last mission—stopping at nothing to save the woman he loves.

I missed this yesterday, crazy day! Risa turned four! This is a good one! Nice and clean, no veins or skanky hands, sexy scruff and those dog tags! Delish!
I have to admit I do like that man in uniform without the shirt!
Men in and out of uniform just do it for me LOL :)
Ohhh beard :D
I do love the scruff!
Oh 1 1/2 nips! Woo!
Still… that darn writing. What? There is a story too? WIN! ;D
I know right? Who needs the big fonts? LOL :) (Ok people like my stepmom who can’t see but…)
hey, man nipple is back! This cover looks nice though, and I agree, I like it when time and effort payoff for novella’s. Covers really do make a difference…
Covers make all the difference in the world –especially if I have never read an author. I just feel like you can gauge “level of effort” based on a cover. If they care enough for a good cover then they probably cared enough for everything else (editing, formatting, content)
A little scruff, a couple nips… nice choice, Felicia. :)
I love me some scruff!
Confession: I have been on a MASSIVE Navy SEAL kick lately. I can’t get enough of them. I’ve been obsessed with that show Stars Earn Stripes and have been drooling over the real-life operatives on it, and as a result, have been devouring every military-related romance or romantic suspense story I can find. Win. I’m thinking the above is a must read!
Confession: Me too! I have been on a suspense (romantic type) lately :)
A little nip and dog tag action. I approve!
And scruff! We have facial hair :)
mmm, I like your choice. The story sounds good too!!
The story does sound good!
