A to Z Challenge: Kissing

Nothing says Romance like a kiss. I can't think of a single Romance novel I've read that didn't have kissing in it. All of my novels have kissing in them even though most of them are considered "sweet" fantasy. I have yet to write a spicy scene of Brown Chicken Brown Cow, but every one of my Romance must have a kiss.

A romance novel without a kiss must be pretty tame indeed.

So today on Romance Spinners, we're celebrating the Kiss.
