I think that the sun-glaring image is problematic. I mean, yes, it's eye-catching, which is precisely what it should do, but it does, as @Storax posted, draw your eyes then away from everything else, like real glare does. I'm not a cover designer, so unfortunately, I can't say the "how" of how to fix it, but both need tweakage, in my opinion, to really work.

Were it me, I might consider putting the image in the center (the kiss image) with the title above, author below. Go for increased contrast on the banding.

Those are my thoughts, FWTAW (For What They Are Worth).

EDITED/ADDED: I do like the kissing image--it's dramatic and bright in a good way. The trick is to use it just right.
