Critique my cover! Harsh crits welcome!

The composition is basically good but I think it needs to be punched up with a fatter, bolder font and more color/contrast

I agree that the composition seems to be good, but the text could be punchier. Play with different fonts to see what fits your story style (Romance tends to be flowery, for example), play with positioning and size of the fonts. Check out Font Squirrel, a web site that offers free fonts, many for commercial use. And read up on different sites about fonts. Or find a book at a library.

Wasn't one of my strong points in design for a while, but definitaly makes a difference.

I'd think the first was a contemporary romance, the second contemporary teen. Overall, not bad.

You have a pink font on a fuschia pink background. Then your model is wearing a pair of red shoes and her skin tone is of a pink, blue blend. The effect is very monotone and the contrasts are weak.

Try increasing the exposure on the picture of the model to flush her skin out and make her paler, and play with different colors for the background and font. Why not change the background to a less gray looking pink and the font to green? Also adding a shadow for your model could make things look a little more interesting.

When I look at this cover as it is... I think immediately that it belongs in the relationship/sex section of the book store. Then when I read the title, I'm not sure. Maybe women's fic?

On the cover for Crazy Beautiful, I couldn't tell at first that it was her foot in the immediate background. But that might be more obvious in print than on the screen.
