  2. Nice. I’m not a completionist collector, so I doubt I will buy those books; but the covers are really nice.

  6. I love the Burn for Me cover so much! They’re all great, but that’s my favorite. I have the ebooks, but it might be time to invest in some dead tree copies.

  9. I was recommending series to my sister this morning and saw the updated covers in Libby and made fan girl noises hehehe

    These are great!!!

  13. I don’t usually buy a second book that I already own but I may do that here because it means I can put Abs McGee into my local Little Library.

  14. I LOVE them! Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! I already own the digital but as these are so pretty and Rogan/Nevada are my fave HA couple, I am considering purchasing. Do we know yet if these will be mass market size or a more standard trade size (6×9)?

  21. Those are gorgeous. In my opinion, so much better than people who are never quite what your mind pictures. I hope this trend continues.

    • How do you add the plus 1? I totally agree with this. The people don’t fit and Nevada never dressed like that.

  22. Will there ever be a hardcover for book 1? I have the rest of the series in hardcover, would love to have book 1 HC as well. (and KD hardcovers… but that’s a whole lot of reissues lol)

  25. Very pretty.

    My covers on my Nook changed the other day to the new ones. They must have gotten the ok from Avon to do it.

    It was funny to see two of the original covers and one of the new covers. It may have been Barnes and Noble saying “oops”. 😬😂😂😂😂

  31. I like the original covers better, but the new ones are cool! I have noticed a lot of my favorite authors are changing covers that have a person or persons on it, to something discreet instead. Is the Industry changing and people on covers are no longer allowed or why is this a new trend I’m seeing all across several different genres? I read several different genres myself 😂!

  38. I love them !

    Lol – many moons ago a comment I made was removed due to my opinion of the old cover and why it had taken me so long to read this series (I was not following HA online at the time “Burn For Me” came out and perused bookstores the old fashioned way. I still don’t understand following in general!)

    I think I’ll buy several “starter packs” for Christmas present this year 🙂

  39. Nice to see non Bodice Ripper covers.

    To be perfectly honest I hate romance covers where there is a gorgeous, tall, bosom heaving out of a half ripped off bodice female held or is she really trying to escape males arms.

    Totally detest female characters who are so pretty and perfect I can’t relate to. Especially the ones all the males trip over their feet to fall at hers.

  43. I love them, especially the carnation theme. SO pretty. They’re my favourite, too! The scene of Nevada leaning out her window over a field of carnations and for once the understated fragrance being heady, is 100% my favourite quiet moment in the series and the one I find easiest to visualize.

    When I was a bookseller, this would immediately cause a surge of people looking for it and asking “But when will it arrive?”

    (Second-most question asked; first was “But when will it come out in paperback?”Same answer applies)

    After consulting of the cards/the magic 8-ball/the publisher lists, I would reply:

    “THE FUTURE”

  48. I love them! This is so much better than the previous ones which did not reflect the quality of the books enough.

  49. I wanted to reread White Hot yesterday on my kobo and I was genuinely puzzled because I could find the naked guy! xD They had already changed the covers! Love the new versions, though!

    • I totally understand the puzzlement. I was looking at my book list in my Nook, noticed the new Hidden Legacy cover, and thought “is this a new Ilona Andrews book? I didn’t think I ordered a new book.” Then I noticed the title and laughed.

  54. Gorgeous new covers! Carnations are my favorite flowers – happy to be in the same “floral fan club” as Nevada!!

  56. I loooove them!! 😍

    I always felt like the covers never really accurately represented the books, it’s so much more than just plain romance, which is what shirtless-dude-emulating-Fabio made it seem like. I’ll admit I was really reluctant to start the series in the beginning because of it. I hope with these new covers you’ll be able to draw even more readers!

  61. Hi!

    Beautiful covers! My Kobo has updated Wildfile and White Hot… but not Burn for Me… Is this a kobo thing or is there a release delay? I’ve already synched, repair and signing out of my device. I’ll be glad to have that update for BfM. 😀

    • Kindle hasn’t updated yet at all- and the physical copies won’t be out until April 🙂 . It will just take a bit of time until all the systems update and sync.

  64. Very very nice. Makes a good change from the too frequent covers that are out there of sexy people ( even if they are not in the story at all).

  65. Beautiful – I particularly love the swirl on the A of Andrews…makes me think of Mellie’s or Dina’s or Rose’s deadly energy ribbon/whip thingamabob/flash strike – all from the other books! Nice way to bring in the whole canon!

    • Wildfire is the only converted cover on my Nook. The other two still have the original covers.

      I don’t know why it happened.

  68. love the new covers!

    also just wanted to say I hope everyone at House Andrews is doing well. And Mod R + family too!

  69. I’m not going to post on my phone again. Apparently I touch the post comment prompt the same time I press Email address

  70. I love these covers and (if I can get them in the UK) will be getting the books. I usually only get ebooks due to eye issues but…. 🤷

  75. I do really like the color adjustment on Burn For Me, to me it’s easier to see the flower imo. The color story on all of the covers make them pop and look amazing. 😀

  78. Love them! My current copies are getting a little ragged; I might need the new covers. Best excuse I can come up with anyway.

  79. Hmm, so White Hot and Wildfire covers updated automatically in my Kindle Reader but Burn for Me did not …

    Nekkid covers did not bother me. In fact, I will always love the Hello Kitty fan cover for White Hot. New ones are beautiful!

    • Hi Linda, which copies (I assume you mean format) do you have? 🙂 The digital covers will update too, they have already started to.

  81. My libraries have updated the text covers but not the graphic audio ones. I can borrow from my local library network and the state capital library system. Works great for comparing hold times for new releases. Love the new covers.

  82. I love the covers! 😍
    Way better than the old ones. On the ones with the half naked guys I usually put a reusable book sleeve (okay as well to prevent wear and tear on the book covers) when I take them with me on the road. Theses I would have no problem leaving them like that — apart from wear and tear… 🤣

  85. Lovely covers! Colorful, dramatic, powerful.
    Now seeing the magic circles in the cover designs makes me wonder… has anyone done fan art of just the circles? There are pretty good descriptions of certain circles, like the one Catalina has under her bedroom carpet to trap intruders.

  86. Very pretty, but I like Rogan. These are more conceptual, imo. Also, Arcane Society sent me hc Ruby Fever with signature page, very nice. It was $27 for one book, so I’m confused about the boxes. I wouldn’t want 2 copies of Ruby Fever, though.

  87. Burn For Me was the first HA I read (thanks local library for starting my journey) and I nearly didn’t choose it because of the cover, but the blurb was intriguing. The world building makes it so much more than a romance book and I think the new covers will attract more readers like me to the series.

    • Mod R: just an FYI that, as of right now, BFM is the only one that hasn’t updated on Amazon (all the versions including Kindle and Audible still show the old cover).

  93. From the price points I saw on B&T (library distributior) these should be trade paperbacks . So I will definitely be getting. But also, they will be much better formats for libraries! Yay!

    (Mass markets are disliked by libraries in general)

  95. So much hate for those beautiful abs…
    I liked the abs.
    Not that I see covers from my Kindle very often, but, ya know 😀

  98. I have the Hidden Legacy series in hard cover except Burn For Me and Diamond Fire. I couldn’t find Burn For Me in hardcover. I do have all of them as ebooks. It’s one of my favorite series. I absolutely love this family! I was born and raised in Houston TX, so I’m not biased in any way.

  99. So cool to see all the symbolism Carnations and the magic of the antagonists! Fire for Adam, ice for David, and lightning for Sturm.

  100. Very excited for the new covers! I just bought the old covers in paper back so that I can have them forever as even though they are the nekkid guy ones they hold a special place in my heart!

  101. Yaaas! These are awesome, and I echo all the folks who noted that the use of the carnation is ::chef-kiss::

  104. Oooo! Shiny!

    The lack of a naked man on the cover might help convert new readers to the BDH!
    Not that there are no naked men inside the covers, but the adventure story is far more central than the hot (sorry for the pun) sex.

  109. These are much better covers than the previous ones. I’m curious, though…these are no longer new books and the initial sales surge is over. It’s nice of them, but publishers aren’t generally known for being sentimental. Why are they doing this?

  111. I have my ebooks from B&N. Oddly “White Hot” and “Wildfire” covers have updated, but not “Burn for Me.” But I expect it will happen eventually.

  112. Cool covers! Why not renew the whole series though? Is it because the latter covers haven’t been as disliked? I’m actually glad I have the old ones, despite these being better, to make the books match.

  113. I like the new covers. Though as a romance reader, I did not care that there was a half-nekkid dude on the cover. Cover, shmover. It’s the inside that counts.

    I think it’s awesome that these covers are coming out in Trade paperback. (There is a segment of Trade paperback readers who will read romance, but will not read half-nekkid covers. Or mass market paperbacks.) This should catch you some new readers… Though I don’t know if they will read your non-Trade books?

    (Seriously, as someone who grew up in something of a book desert and spent years scouring used book stores for favorite authors Before Internet, I can’t understand cover snobbery. It’s the author name on the outside and the story inside that matter!)

  116. I love the new covers so much, i may need to buy them again. And then read them all again/ for like the 6th time (not exaggerating).

  118. Ok. Pretty and understandable from a “broaden the audience ” standpoint (which y’all richly deserve because you’re amazing), but glad I have original hard copies and kindle editions. Hope even more members come to the BDH!!!!

  120. is anyone else having trouble with Amazon on the pre-orders? book one and teo are up, but book two is being released a month before book one?

    • Since these are reissues of the books, they do not need to follow chronologically 🙂, the content is already available. The retailer systems might process them at slightly different times.

  121. Beautiful covers. Funny how things cycle. Looking at these I can’t help but think of the Jayne caste Harmony series covers before they went the other way and replaced flower covers with guys with muscular arms in tank tops.

  127. I was away last week and missed this but love the new covers. I will probably end up buying the new versions and give away the Couple Covers to a little local free library.

  128. I have these in other versions, but really like the trade paperback size. So I’ll need to restrain myself. Original pb, audio and hc will have to suffice. Except maybe Burn for Me, since I don’t have a hc of that.
