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.

Thanks Hitch. Yeah, it needs some tweakage. I'll experiment with the kissers in the middle. And the glare. Have to think about that.
