A previously released book is getting a makeover. It’s getting a new ending, a new cover, new blurb, and new title. I’m having trouble deciding on a title.
The book is a paranormal science fiction fantasy romance. Just knowing that, and nothing else, would you please tell me which one of these titles catches your interest the most?
A. Warrior’s Curse
B. Heartmates
C. His Captive, His Mate
D. Mating Fever
E. None of the Above
Now here’s the blurb…
Inspired by the Greek myth of the Amazon women warriors….
A powerful tribe of women warriors live in service to the Goddess, separate from men, their sworn enemies, until mating fever strikes and they must venture into the wilderness to seek mates.
Sheltered and protected behind palace walls, Princess Reena has never even seen a man. When the mating curse compels her older, wiser cousin to seek a mate, Reena accompanies her, eager for the chance to see a man in the flesh.
Reena learns how dangerous
men can be…
Embittered by a terrible wrong a woman committed
against him. Garat leaves his encampment to secure the water his people need to
survive. When he encounters the queen’s daughter in the wilderness, his need
for vengeance consumes him, and he takes Reena hostage. But as her sweetness melts
his hatred, Garat begins to suspect there is an evil behind the palace walls
that wants Reena dead…
After kidnapping her, can he get his heartmate to believe the people she trusts the most want to kill her? Can he open her eyes to the evil force that threatens their love and her life?
Any other comments or title suggestions? Thank you so much for your vote!
Warrior’s Curse is my fave.
Also, “Heartmate” is the title of a book by Robin D. Owens, so I would personally avoid that one, since it’s only different in singular vs. plural.
Thanks, Chrissy.
Use heartmates
Thanks for the vote!
His Captive, his mate.

Mating fever is my choice. It’s what the book is about! Also it gives the reader an idea of what the book is all about! What s great concept.

Mating fever is my choice. Your books are wonderful. Can’t wait to read it
Thank you.
Heartmates is my choice
All the titles are good but sound too familiar but my choice seemed to define true love
Thank you for voting and commenting.
Unfortunately, I find all the titles to cliched, I feel as if in my memory I’ve read them before.
So, based on the blurb, do you have a suggestion for another title?
How about something like ‘Amazon’s Betrayal’ or ‘Heartmate for the Amazon?’
His Captive, His Mate.
I think it’s the title that reflects more the storie Line.
Thank you.
My favorite is His Captive, His Mate
Thank you for voting.
His Captive, His Mate.
This title seems to follow the sample of the story….looking forward to its release.

Judging from the blurb I think “His Captive, His Mate” is the best title.
Thank you. Did reading the blurb change your vote? Had you picked a different title at first?
Warrior’s Curse really grabbed my attention as a great title for your next book, I love it!
Thank you!

Thank you for voting.
Mating Fever would be my choice.
Thanks for the vote.
Warriors curse
Thank you for voting.
There are already several books called Warriors Curse. Why don’t you let your ARC Team help you come up with a name. Other authors do this.
Actually, that’s what this process is about! My ARC team subscribes to my newsletter. They have a chance to vote and to suggest names. BTW, although warrior is used in a lot of titles, there is only one other Warrior’s Curse book (that I could find by searching on Amazon). It’s really, really hard to come up with a unique title anymore–and if you do–someone else may use it after the fact, so then it’s not unique anymore.
I need a title that grabs people’s attention and describes the book. I don’t want a title that 20 other authors are using, but if only one or two are, I can live with that.
His Captive, His Mate
Thanks for the vote.
I like Heartmates anyway. 🙂
Thank you.
His captive, his mate.
that sounds the best to me
Thank you for voting.
His Captive, His Mate
Thank you for voting.
I vote for WARRIOR’S CURSE!
In big bold letters! Lol. Thanks for the vote.
I chose Heartmates, but after reading the blurp I would rather suggest Mating Fever, or His Captive, His Mate.
Thank you, Elize!
After reading the blurb, I like Mating Fever. It really encompasses what the characters have to face.
Good luck, Cara.
Thanks, Siobhan.
mating fever
Thanks for the vote!
Heartmates is my favourite
Thank you for voting.
Title: His Captive His Mate
Thank you.
Mating Fever sounds perfect as a title for this book
Thanks for the vote.
Warrior’s Curse is the one I like.
Thank you, Terrie.
Heartmate is my choice the others sound like many others.
Thank you for voting and commenting.
Warrior’s Curse
Thanks, Jannie.
Mating fever Definitely my choice catchy and give you an idea about the story
Thanks for voting.
His Captive His Mate sums up the story from both Reena and Garat’s perspective so I’d go with that title.
Thank you for the vote.
I am really stuck between His Captive, His Mate which seems to fit the story the most (t0 me) and Warrior’s Mate which strikes a different chord and the one I gravitated to before I saw the blurb.
Thanks, Sophia. I appreciate the vote and the comments.
Warrior’s Curse! Catching!
Thanks, Patsy.
His Captive, His Mate. Just sorta summarizes the plot for me.
Thank you.
His Captive, His Mate
I would order that title before even reading the blurb!
That’s quite an endorsement.
C please
Thanks for the vote.
His Captive, His Mate, seemed to be an appropriate title. I am awaiting the release.
His Captive, His M
His Captive, His Mate
Captures your attention
Warriors Curse… But which one will it be a a “curse” for?
Ah, well that’s the question…They’re both warriors.
His Captive his Mate…. out all the choices that one just leaps out at you… and after reading a couple of lines about the story…that is the one that best suits your story…that would get me to buy it…love your stories…let us know when this comes out..I want to read it!
Thank you so much, Lori.
Warriors Curse
Thanks!
Love the concept! I like His captive, his mate. Or just his mate. Heartmate is still really associated with Robin Owens series.
I had never heard Robin Owens, until I suggested this title. When I wrote the original, I’d intended to write a two-book series, and Heartmates was the series title.
I did like Heartmates but voted instead for His Captive, His Mate, this type of title always attracts me. I m looking forward to reading the book, whatever the title.
Thanks. Captive is always an eye-catcher in titles.
His captive, his mate sounds good!
Thank you.
His Captive, His Mate captures my interest!
Thank you.
His Captive, His Mate – I believe that hits the mark and I can hardly Wait to read it!
Thank you!
His Captive, His Mate
Thanks for the vote!
His captive, his mate, is my favorite as well. Makes me curious.
Thank you. That’s what I want. I want the title to make readers curious.
Warrior’s Curse
Thanks for the vote.
His Captive, his mate
Sound perfect
Thanks for the vote.
I like Warriors Curse. Makes me want to know what the curse is and how it will be broken. Looking forward to the release. The blurb definitely would catch my attention. I would, however, avoid Heartmates as Robin D. Owens has a book series that starts with the book Heartmate.
Thank you for the vote and the comments!
Out of the titles that were suggested ‘Warrior’s Curse’ sounded the most intriguing to me. Good luck with whatever title is chosen and I look forward to reading this new updated version.
Thank you!
His Captive, His Mate.
Thanks for voting.
I would choose Warrior’s Curse as being the most appropriate and it fits in with the blurb.
Thank you for the vote.
I like Mating Fever.
Thank you for the vote.
Warriors Curse sounds totally right according to the blurb which focuses on Warriors.
His Captive. His Mate.
It was the most captivating
