LOL. It's the romance, the connection, the frustration, the attraction -- all those gnarly emotions that the author feeds us bit by bit from the very beginning in both the hero and the heroine that builds towards The Kiss. <br /><br />As a reader, I know it's coming somewhere, sometimes I'm even tempted to skip pages just to get to that good part, but once I'm there, I want to take my time and savor it. <br /><br />And I want to read about their feelings. It's not the anatomically correct (or incorrect) details that stir my soul. It's more subtle than that.<br /><br />Does she feel hesitant? Is he tempted beyond his ability to control? What does he smell like? Is her skin soft? Does he feel like a conquering hero? Does she feel like she's finally home?<br /><br />Sigh...I think I'm melting just thinking about it. Better head for that waterfall in TFD!!!!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-13497266546429321312010-02-02T16:47:26.878-05:002010-02-02T16:47:26.878-05:00Yes, Sassy Granny, kissing is a marvelous thing, i...Yes, Sassy Granny, kissing is a marvelous thing, indeed!<br /><br />Lack of cliches - oh, to find an original kiss!<br /><br />A klutz kiss? - Yes, that is what I ususally think of when I recall my first kisses - awkward.

I know, weird, but true! I've always loved a couple that always seems to butt heads, be at odds OR their growing attraction to each other befuddles them into arguing with one another. Then, out of the blue, he kisses her. Always gets a cheer from me :)<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-37603586648449630642010-02-02T10:29:49.272-05:002010-02-02T10:29:49.272-05:00Great pre-Valentine's Day post, Carla:) Now I&...Great pre-Valentine's Day post, Carla:) Now I'm more curious than ever to dive into The Rogue's Redemption! <br />Thanks so much for mentioning the waterfall kiss from TFD. My favorite scene, too, by the way! Some of my male readers have even said they liked it - no kidding! Guess men are really romantics at heart.<br />I think tenderness makes a scene romantic - maybe a little uncertainty/risk woven in as well. They are among my favorite scenes to write. And read.<br />Bless you today!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-24127948462795515332010-02-02T09:28:05.405-05:002010-02-02T09:28:05.405-05:00For me, pace and anxiety.

I like characters that are like me, imperfect. Or a perfect klutz.

I can hardly wait to hear what others have to say.<br /><br />For me, romantic kissing (vs common, garden variety expressions of affection) is the wordless way in which "I love you" is transmitted in a palpable way. It's very nature is intimate, exclusive, in-exhaustive. It's the language of the heart and of the senses, spoken best by committed lovers who are safeguarded in their marriage.<br /><br />What a marvelous thing, kissing.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.com
