A Kiss is Just a Kiss
The first kiss shared by a hero and heroine kan set the tone of a romance story just as easily as dialog, setting and plot. It can show, without a single spoken word, just how they feel about each other, and about their relationship. It can also show what kind of romance story you are writing too.
Most romance writers only think of the sex scenes when planning their story's sexual tension. But the way the couple interacts AND responds to each other is just as important as what happens in the bedroom. Maybe more important.
There are many different types of kisses, almost as many as there are couples who kiss. But there are three types that I'm going to talk about. These are the ones I see the most in romance stories.
The Chaste Kiss
A popular one for sweet romances. These are the tales with minimum sexual description. Young adult and spiritual romance writers tend to use this kind of kiss in their writing.
The Passionate Kiss
This kiss is the one that sizzles on the page. It can make even the most hardened romance reader blush while reading. Often, it turns into something more, such as the first sexual encounter. But sometimes it is just a peek into what is coming in the future.
The Angry Kiss
Some plots require the couple to not like each other very much, but be very attracted at the same time. This can lead to the angry. Think back to Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd's first real kiss on Moonlighting. Now there was an angry kiss.
As a writer, you should give the kind of romance you're writing a lot of thought when picking the right first kiss, Doing so can help you move your plot forward and keep your reader begging for more.
Thank you for taking the time to read. Happy Writing!

ah, love! thanks for an insightful newsletter, darkin. i like the old chestnut about how the quirks we love when we meet someone are the exact traits which get on our last nerve later on...what they don't tell you is those same quirks are what keep you falling in love with that person over and over and over again. it never stops!
great points to incorporate into our written relationships--much appreciated.
