Romance Novel Covers

Okay, so I'm browsing romance novels on B&N, because, well. And it occurs to me that a huge number of the covers depict a woman (the heroine?) with her back to the viewer. Is this A Thing in romance, or am I seeing a pattern where there isn't one? It's a bit weird.

Actually, browsing is futile, because I just made a big order from B&N for my birthday, including the last Kushiel book in the Imri series, the rest of the Lynn Flewelling series, and two other books. That amounts to almost 80$ with shipping and is quite enough for now, I think. In general though, I am interested in paranormal romance and have no idea where to start. Specifically, I'm bored with vampires and I want more werewolves/shapeshifters/changelings in my literary life.

I need to brush my hair.

I also need not to write a book about mermaids and vampires and spies, oh my. Because I already have one unfinished story that I'm making no progress on.
