People do judge a book by its cover!
As many self-published authors do I initially designed my own books covers. I hoped that what the cover lacked the book itself more than made up for. However I didn't stop to consider that when people are browsing the literally millions of book choices on Amazon if the cover doesn't grab them they probably won't stop to read the synopsis.
Case in point: Shortly after releasing Cedar Hollow (with a cover I designed myself) I ran a free promo weekend on Kindle. I had approximately 600 downloads worldwide, and in two months time sold around 25 copies. I then decided to invest a little money into a professionally designed cover. I ran another free promo weekend launching the new cover. This time I have over 20,000 downloads worldwide! My book jumped into the top 200 books on Amazon and my sales skyrocketed. I've sold over 200 paid copies since the promo ended and fabulous reviews have been rolling in ever since. I learned a very important lesson. People DO judge a book by its cover!!!
So with that in mind I've redesigned the covers for my Love's Trilogy. They are gorgeous! I'm once again running a promo weekend to launch the new covers. Dec 5th-9th Love's Fate will be FREE, Love's Destiny will only be 99 cents, and Love's Chance will be discounted to $1.99. Here are the links. Check out my new covers!

it's a pity yes, but I have to admit that when browsing, I do tend to open and read descriptions of books whose covers I like. And the new one for Cedar Hollow is a beautiful cover! :) I'm really happy it's done so well for you, it's a fabulous book too! I've got the Love trilogy on my kindle and look forward to reading those soon.
