Good point. I will add that caution.

Matched pairs? Bad photoshopping, especially on the left?

Definitely the same couple. Such a difference in backdrop!

Same couple, same dress, different angle.

Speaking of the Jennifer Blake book, check out the stepback for the original version.

Oh my that's quite a position to hold! His shirt is frillier than her dress as well.

It is frillier :p

I do love these vintage stepbacks. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I find a new-to-me one.

First time I've seen this pair on a historical novel, they usually are in the New Adult genre.

The vest isn't exactly period attire, although I guess they managed to cover most of it up in the first one. I'm no Photoshop expert but she's practically a blank canvas wearing that, they could surely have put a half-convincing dress on her!
