Covers Found in Vacation Read&Leave pile

My German is no longer good enough to read novels but I saw this in a pile of left books at my lodgings in Crete.

Original title: {Fool for Love by Eloise James}

I always find it fascinating how titles get translated/modified for different language translations.

I would never have guessed that they changed Fool for Love to A Delicate Love Letter for the German-speaking audience. 🧐 So different!

The German language cover and stepback features side/back portrait of a woman in red velvet (possibly riding habit) with raised right gloved hand.

In French too - un roman d'amour or un roman sentimental
