Trey Evans has zero interest in becoming Mamma Lou’s next matchmaking “victim.” The single life suits him just fine, at least until he meets fashion designer Kenya Whitaker. She’s talented, smart, savvy—everything he wants in a woman in one irresistibly sexy package.

All Kenya wants from Trey is payback for stealing her father’s company. The charming, ambitious businessman is known for getting his way. But Kenya has some tricks of her own, and she intends to use them to capture Trey’s heart—and then break it. Yet when her scheme starts to work a little too well, will winning this battle of wits be worth losing something far more precious?

Trey glanced past her seeing that Mamma Lou had turned to leave. He quickly grabbed Kenya, switched their positions and kissed her, pinning her against the doorframe. To both their surprise she readily melted into his arms. It lasted only seconds, but Kenya was certain he had rattled her brains.

His strong arms encircled her, pulling her close. Her mouth open to him and he entered, penetrating deep. His tongue thrust repeatedly, sending tingles along every nerve ending in her body. She felt, and readily accepted his weight pressed against her. He was hard. She pushed away from the frame desperate to get closer to him, to feel more of him. The kiss deepened as they entered a solitary world, were only the two of them existed. It was easy, natural, as if they’d been kissing forever. ~ excerpt from Love Me Now (November 2009)

There are regular kisses, wet kisses, sloppy kisses, tender kisses and even punishing kisses. But nothing compares to the mind-blowing, knee-weakening, smack your momma “best kiss.” A best kiss is a work of art and it only happens when the chemistry is just right. It’s never done on purpose. It’s purely unintentional. But when it happens, it’s unmistakable. It’s sensuous, passionate, and you know without a doubt that what you’re experiencing will stay with you forever.

As a romance writer I like to think that I know a thing or two about the best kiss. After all, the characters I write about in my books are always experiencing it. It’s more than the placement of hands or the tilt of the head. It’s about chemistry, passion and the all important afterglow.

The chemistry of the best kiss happens well before two people touch lips. It’s the intense feeling that draws them together in the first place. It’s a connection. After that, lips touch with longing, rapture, arousal and desire erupts as your senses shatter. That’s passion. Then there’s the afterglow. You look into each other’s eyes knowing that you’d just experienced the best kiss ever. The feeling is instant.

By far my best kiss took place on June 12th 1986. I was on the dance floor with a man I’d just met. We connected. We were dancing to Earth Wind & Fire’s Reasons. He kissed me. That one kiss changed the direction of my life. The next year we got married. That was 22 years ago and that best kiss is exactly the same since that day.

Here’s my movie best kiss list, what’s yours?
