Valentine's Day: First Kisses

It's almost Valentine's Day, and we all know it's the day to tell someone you love just how much affection you have for them.  What better way to tell your loved ones you love them than with a kiss and a hug.  Of course, you can add in flowers, candy, jewelry, tools or anything else you think she/he would like.  With this cold weather you might decide to create some steamy heat.  Wink!

Here are some samples of first kisses by the characters in my Riverboat Mysteries trilogy.

 

The Catalyst:

Walt chuckled and sat on the edge beside her. “It was easy. I just rubbed your feet and you were blown out like a candle.” He leaned down and brushed her lips with his.

“Well, you certainly know how to wake a woman.” She smiled sleepily and pulled him back for another longer kiss

 

 

Addiction: 

She swooped down, kissed his mouth, and forced his lips apart. The touch of her hands pushing up his shirt and her fingers stroking his abs and chest nearly undid him. When she pressed her core against his penis, he couldn’t hold back his groan.

 

 

 

The Deceived: 

Without realizing what he was doing, he pulled her close and bent down to her lip glossed mouth and kissed her. At her gasp as his tongue entered her mouth, he remembered she wasn’t experienced, and he stopped just embracing her as he tried to calm his breathing.  Holding her, he chastised himself.

 

As you can see these kisses are very different, and the reason is because the characters are different.  In The Catalyst, Carolyn Madison was a rape victim, so Walt goes very slowly with her.

In Addiction, the heroine has been married before and she's been in a relationship since her divorce.  She's a take charge kind of gal.

In The Deceived, the heroine is a virgin, so the hero, Mike, tries to calm his hormones and take it as slow as he can. 

What was your first kiss like with your husband/wife, or significant other?  Do you even remember?  Mine started out sweet and slow and became very sensuous.  Smile!  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. 

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  Enjoy the day with your loved ones. 

Thank you for reading.  Have a great week, and I'll see you next Sunday.

Valentine's Day

Our day of love, Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  This is a time when we do special things for our loved ones.  Usually, it's a box of chocolates, a special dinner with dancing, or a movie and dinner. 

Or it can be something as simple as a book where the reader can follow two characters and learn how they find their happy ever after.  The people portrayed in our books often go through real life trials and tribulations to find happiness and love.

I send out Valentine's cards to all my family and close friends.  I even send cards to all my mother's old friends and write them a little note so they know I still remember them.

All I want for Valentine's Day is a very good back rub.  For months I have been having trouble with deep tissue issues that left me in so much pain that I can't put any pressure on my right side.  First it was my left side, and I went to the physical therapist to take care of that.  This time I had my husband start rubbing and found it helped a lot.  Yep, I'll take a back rub and anything else he wants to treat me to.  Chocolate covered nuts???  Grin!  Get your mind out of the gutter guys.   

My publisher is having a sale of all their books at Coffee Time Romance if you would like to take a browse through to see if there is something you would like for Valentine's Day.

All of Eirelander Publishing's catalog is 30% off at the Coffee Time Romance Store!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.  See you next Sunday.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have lots of love in your home today. It's Valentine's Day, the day of love, and the day I announce the winners of my Valentine's Day contest. One of the things, I've learned from this contest is that I need to ask harder questions. lol

My question: What does Jolene say to Jake when he tells her, "When I tell you to do something, do it."

Answer: "Well, aren't you the bossy one."

I have six winners: 1. Judy 2. Mariska 3. booklover0226 4. bison61 5. RobynL and 6. Amy S.

I need to hear from everyone but Robyn L and Amy S since I don't have your emails. Thank you for participating in my contest.

Next, I want to let you know that I'm being interviewed over at Women In the Air, http://womenintheair.blogspot.com/ a blog for women who have worked in aviation and have become authors.

Until next Sunday, have a great week.

Thanks,

Sandy
