Everyone remembers their first kiss, right? I remember mine like it happened last night. It was Halloween night of ’97 after the big football game at school. I was dating one of the football players and we were going to the Santa Monica Pier with a bunch of friends after the game and I was so nervous.

I knew Devin was going to try to kiss me, we had been together for almost a week and up until that night, all we ever did was talk on the phone at all hours of the night and hold hands at school in between classes and during lunch. He had kissed me on my cheek and on my hand but we had never kissed and I knew that night, things were going to change.

I couldn’t wait.

The anticipation was good enough to kill me. I was so anxious to get our first kiss over and done with because patience has never been one of my virtues and when the moment finally came, I was so nervous, I bumped my nose against his when he leaned down to give me a kiss and he ended up laughing all the while he was kissing me.

It’s those kinds of first kisses that I absolutely love. I am super thankful that my first kiss was with Devin of North High because he kissed really good and I have a good first kiss memory but as sweet and cute as my first kiss was, my favorite first kiss moments took place in between the pages of some of my favorite books.

My all time favorite first kiss scene was the first between Mike and Sam in Sweet Liar by Jude Deveraux. I know, I know, everyone is shocked considering how much I hate Jude Deveraux’s books but really, that first kiss between Mike and Sam was hawt! I mean, that wall banger of a kiss is one of the first kisses that has always stayed with me, it’s made an impression on me which is why it’s my favorite. What surprises me more is I like the soft, romantic kisses that is sparking with chemistry and connection but this wall banger kiss is the one that I remember and the one that I get excited to talk about.

So let’s talk about that first kiss…who’s first kiss in the books we read is your favorite and why? Also, do you prefer the first kiss between the hero and heroine to be soft and sweet or rough and hard? Why?

Let’s get the discussion ball rolling, shall we?
