Different Types of Kisses
Before anyone says anything about the topic for this post – I am a romance writer so this is the sort of tough and challenging research I have to do. *sigh*
I am in the middle of my current project and bored with writing the same old kiss so I thought to myself; there MUST be other types of kisses out there.
Are all you romance writing kissing fans ready?
Here we go.
Forehead kisses. Best served with a comforting hug. Tip of the nose kisses. Delicate and usually accompanied with some heartfelt words.Morning kisses. These go well with messy hair, sleepy smiles and pressing the snooze button on your alarm. Stolen kisses. Quick, spontaneous and while the world isn’t watching.First kisses. Add in some nose bumping, first kiss nerves, lock-in eyes and two galloping hearts.Kisses that travel down your neck. Best served after a takeaway, a good film and some romantic whispering. Goodbye kisses. These can be split into two; the quick peck before hurrying out of the door or the full on tearful snog. For the latter these are best accompanied with hands that are clinging onto each other. Friendship kisses. Air kisses or cheek kisses.The first time they say ‘I love you’ kiss. Special kiss alert because you didn’t expect them to confess their love for you. Best accompanied with a chest full of fluttering doves, jelly legs and a gasp of, ‘really?’Drunken kisses. Best served with some uncontrollable giggles, a bit of moonlight, a shared tray of chips and maybe a hiccup or two. Unexpected kisses. Usually occur mid-sentence and are the culmination of a lengthy period consisting of lustful gazes and long silences. Laughing kisses. Where you both start laughing halfway through and then try to carry on with the kiss. Earlobe kisses. Gentle nibbling at ears. Hand kisses. Best served during a romantic walk with a lot of hand holding. Empty kisses. Heartbreaking. This is when one party isn’t kissing back and there’s this horrible sense that they don’t care anymore.Wrist kisses. Lips pressed into your wrist and eyes focused on you. Breathless kisses. Best accompanied with some gasping for air at the end, a bit of staggering about and two shocked faces.Break up kisses. Add in wet eyes, thumbs wiping cheeks and one whispering, ‘I can’t go on like this…it’s for the best.’Cinema kisses. Best served in the glow from the cinema screen and with a giant bucket of popcorn wedged between you. Moonlit kisses. These occur during a romantic evening walk where you both gaze up at the stars, point out a few star constellations and when you turn back to each other you start to kiss. Kisses of desperate urgency. Face cupping is essential and so too are heaving chests and forehead pressing. Apology kisses. These are best served with a bunch of flowers, some heartfelt words and glistening eyes. The Notebook film kiss. This passionate kiss is best served in a torrential downpour. Face cupping is an essential. Clothes must be soaking wet. The Gone With The Wind film kiss. Best served in a passionate embrace with two people who have been engaging in a love-hate relationship. Sizzling chemistry is essential. An Officer and a Gentleman film kiss. One party is swept off their feet by the other.
Right, I am going to lie down in a darkened room with my electric fan.
I hope you have enjoyed my kissing research post.
Please tell what is your favourite type of kiss?

#BookReview The Cottage of New Beginnings @SnowProse #romance
As it’s the start of October I am getting excited about what I call snuggle reads. These are comforting romance reads which you can dive into whilst curled up on your sofa…with a soft blanket over your legs and a cup of soothing tea on the little table beside you.
This book by Suzanne Snow is the first of my snuggle reads. Gorgeous cover and the premise ticked all my boxes; crumbling cottage, one broken heart, a village full of interesting characters and a handsome but moody local hero.
Here’s the blurb;
One crumbling cottage. One broken heart. A chance to start over?
When Annie returns to Thorndale, the village where she spent much of her childhood, she’s looking for a new start. All she wants to do is fix up the cottage her godmother left her, and fix up her broken heart.
When she clashes with local hero, Jon, Annie can’t help but wonder if coming back to Thorndale was a mistake. The village has clearly changed and the last thing she needs is more drama. But avoiding the distractingly handsome Jon is proving impossible, especially when Thorndale seems to be conspiring to throw them together…
Annie is looking for a fresh start with zero romance – but what if the only way to learn to trust again is to take a risk on love?
The perfect cosy romance for fans of Julie Houston, Victoria Walters and Trisha Ashley.
Here’s my review:
I enjoyed this charming romance set in the fictional village of Thorndale. The cosy setting for me was one of the standouts, gorgeous descriptions which helped whisk me away.
It was a lovely slow build romance between Annie and Jon which started after a few misunderstandings and some looks of longing. The romance had an old fashioned feel to it which was nice. I also felt Annie and Jon were quite old fashioned too in their views and this was refreshing.
This is an easy and enjoyable read. Perfect for those who want a charming romance and a happy ending.

#TuesdayBookBlog Stuck On You @PortiaMacintosh #romcom ❤️
Don’t you just love the excitement which comes with reading a book that ticks all of your favourite subject boxes?
This book, Stuck on You, by Portia Macintosh brings together three of my favourite things in life; romance, Christmas and post-it-notes.
What a clever idea – to start a romance via some interactions via post-it-notes! 
[image error]
As a huge fan of post-it-note messages I let out a squeal of joy when I read this book’s premise.
Here’s the blurb:
Could a post-it note really lead to love…?
Sadie doesn’t have time for finding love. She’s too busy as PA for famous artist Damian Banks. When she’s not arranging exhibitions, she’s organising his dry cleaning or dumping his never ending stream of girlfriends.
But when she strikes up an unusual friendship with her desk share buddy, she finds a confidante and a new potential love interest. Problem is, they’ve never actually met…
With Christmas just around the corner, can Sadie put herself first for a change and find what she’s been looking for all along?
The brand new romantic comedy from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh. Perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald, Mhairi McFarlane and Zara Stoneley.
Here’s my review:
This book was funny, uplifting and made me fall in love with the genre of romantic comedy all over again.
I loved the whole set up; lonely Sadie, Damien, her boss from hell and the mystery co-worker, Adam, who she interacts with via post-it-notes as they are never in the office at the same time. To make things even more heartfelt Portia Macintosh has set this book in the run up to Christmas.
I liked the way Portia injects life into her book characters. She blesses them all with witty banter and quirky traits. All of which makes them spring off the page.
I adored the Christmas with Sadie’s parents and their many quirky but seriously fun festivities. Also I thought the dad jokes were hilarious.
This book made me smile throughout. Please can we have more books where romances involve post-it-notes.
This was a very enjoyable read and I shall be reading more from Portia Macintosh.
