1. PRESENTATION AND PACKAGING
TITLE
The title "Ties That Bond" fits well with the story's themes of connection, desire, and the intertwining of two lives. It evokes a sense of intimacy and inevitability, perfectly aligning with the dynamic between Keiron and Adelaide. However, as a common phrase in the romance genre, it doesn't immediately stand out in a crowded market.
While I genuinely love the title, I brainstormed a few alternatives that reflect the darker, more intense aspects of the story: Bound by Desire, Unbreakable Threads, Chains of Fate, Irresistible Ties, and Shattered Bonds. These suggestions aim to maintain the core idea of connection and conflict while adding a unique twist. You could explore these or come up with titles that resonate more closely with your vision.
Ultimately, "Ties That Bond" captures the story's essence but exploring a more distinctive title could amplify its appeal and make it truly unforgettable in the romance genre.
Score: 7/10
COVER ART
At first glance, the cover of Ties That Bond seems like a typical romance novel: a dark background, a rose nestled between her cleavage, and a subtle lean suggesting intimacy or vulnerability. However, upon reading the book, the deeper symbolism behind the design becomes apparent.
