This month’s topic:
Favorite First Kisses
There are two moments I love the most when reading a contemporary romance: the first hand hold moment and the first kiss. There is something so magical about the first kiss scene that can leave a reader with butterflies. Here are six of my favorites:
- Anna and the French Kiss
- I’ll Meet You There
- All Broke Down
- Open Road Summer
- If I Stay
- The Sea of Tranquility
And since the first kiss is a huge thing for everyone, I wanted to get some other opinions in on the action. I asked on Twitter what were some of your favorites. Two of you loved The Deal.
@andiABCs The Deal and Every Breath- both are “haha kissing her? Watch this” that turn into bonafide first kisses. I love it.

Love this month’s topic, Andi! I’ll have to give it some thought – I know I’ve read a lot of seriously awesome first kisses. 🙂

My brain immediately flashes to The Orphan Queen. That first kiss *swoon*
I wanted to add it but I couldn’t since it is Contemporary Romance books. But that kiss was…le sigh!
Love this month’s topic!! And it’s fun seeing my tweet there because those really are great first kisses 😀 And HIM! Yes! I feel like I need to reread a bunch of favorites to remember other first kisses that I love. This will be a fun post to write 🙂
