Who doesn't LOVE that LOVE story?
Nicholas Sparks writes love stories that are usually set in the South and/or near the water or the beach. His book covers generally have the same look and feel to them. Often the cover design uses photography of a landscape, often very ethereal.
Soft colors are used and the image is slightly out of focus. The covers are very romantic and before you even read the first page, you are transported to a beach in North Carolina somewhere in the middle of a tale about a long lost love...
