KissingBooks 101 Lesson Three (and a HUGE giveaway!): Closet Kisses

Posted February 14, 2018 by meezcarrie in Christian, contemporary, giveaway, historical, romance / 254 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day, dear reader friends! Here on RimSP, Valentine’s Day is kind of a big deal. Why? Because I LOVE KissingBooks and Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to talk about them! Since the last KissingBooks 101 lesson (wow – it’s been two years!), I’ve developed a new favorite kind of kissing scene – the kind of kisses (or tension-filled almost kisses) that take place in closets and otherwise confined spaces. Get your favorite list-making device ready because school is back in session!

Pepper Basham first introduced me to this wondrous type of kissing scene – in her book The Thorn Keeper – and she remains the queen of the closet kiss, in my book. Each of her subsequent books (historical and contemporary) has some sort of a closet kiss, and boy howdy can she write a toe-curling kiss!

Clicking on each book’s graphic will take you to Amazon. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you.

Aaaaaaannnnnnd…. check out this exclusive excerpt from The Substitute Bride, a not-yet-published historical romance from Pepper Basham!! The main characters, Frederick and Grace, are married (marriage of convenience) and are so adorable together! AHHHHH!!! I love them.

“Frederick! Did I hear your voice?” His mother’s call pierced their quiet from the end of the long hall. “Frederick!”

Without another hesitation, Frederick flung open the nearby closet door and tugged Grace inside, closing them into darkness and linens.

“What are you doing?” She whispered, her hands feeling for his jacket in the darknes and drawing him into her rosemary scent.

“Greeting my wife without interruption.” With a firm tug of her body against his, he seized her surprised lips with his own. She tasted of warmth and strawberries, and home. To her. As expected, after her gasp, she melted into him. Her palms took a possessive hold of his back and he growled in response, moving his kiss from her pliant lips to her exposed neck.

The softest breath of a sound escaped from her throat and he pushed her against the wall, breathing in her skin, stamping it to his memory. “The train couldn’t move fast enough to bring me home to you.”

He couldn’t make out her face in the darkness of the closet, only her profile, but her quick intake of breath as his palms slid down the side of her body had him visualizing her reaction. Her fingers dug into his back. “You’ve been missed, my dear Lord Percy.”

“Have I?” His mouth found its way back to her soft lips, waiting for him.

She nodded against his head, her fingers trailing up to his neck and into his hair. “I don’t like sleeping alone.”

“Neither do I.” He shook his head, the memory of those two nights without her warmth quaking his emotions deeper. “Grace, I’ve never longed for anyone like I long for you.”

She pulled back, glimmers of faint light from beneath the doorway reflected in her eyes. “Really?”

Her question humbled him. The women, the careless life? Here was someone wholly pure, and his, with no other images of anyone else’s kiss, or touch, or intimacy but his. And he was determined never to make her doubt the exclusivity of his heart. “I’m quite useless without you.” He cupped her face, kissing one corner of her mouth, then the other. “Next time you’re going with me to London.”

I love Frederick and Grace so much! I can’t wait for y’all to meet them!!

Pepper isn’t the only author to write swoonlicious closet kisses though. Melissa Tagg wrote one between Logan and Amelia in Like Never Before that will have you sticking your head in the freezer for sure! Marie’s and Seth’s closet moment in Liz Johnson’s Red Door Inn may be an almost-kiss but it’s just as full of delicious romantical tension as if their lips had met just then. Julie Lessman’s Sam O’Rourke and Marcy O’Connor find more than the Advent wreath they’re supposed to be looking for in the church storage closet (i.e. the yumminess that sparks when their lips are together!) in A Light in the Window. And Callie may not have found the raisins she was hunting in Davis’ pantry (in Nicole Deese’s A New Shade of Summer) but she certainly finds a kiss that had me fanning for a while. Jen Turano’s Lucetta Plum (Playing the Part) may be sporting a disguise that would make Nanny McPhee proud but it doesn’t prevent a delightful closet kiss with swoony Bram!

But closets and pantries and small storage rooms aren’t the only places where a confined space makes the kisses all the swoonier! Airplanes, hollow tree trunks, bell towers, hiding places, caves, under-the-stairs alcoves, tiny all-season rooms, barn stalls, narrow hallways, a crowded-with-projects workshop garage… such delightful kissing possibilities! Even close quarters made even closer when the heroine must tend to the hero’s wound.

Whew!! Is it getting hot in there or is it just me??? Speaking of Dawn Crandall, keep an eye out for a NEW Everstone Chronicles novella – “Enchanting Nicholette”– coming in September!!! (You can also catch it first in June as part of the Timeless Love anthology. Check out my Be Still My Heart cover love post from yesterday for more details on this collection!)

    Oooh, I’ve just started reading The Red Door Inn; delighted to know I have a closet almost-kiss moment to which I can look forward. Some of these others I have read, and I agree that Pepper D. Basham knocks it outta the park when it comes to great kisses, especially closet/close quarter kisses. A few of these others are on my TBR list, and thanks to this post now a few more have been added to that. 🙂

    I’ve read the kissing scene in Laura Frantz’s “The Colonel’s Lady” so many times, the book automatically opens to it. Good gracious alive!! Truly one of the best. Julie Lessman has well earned her title of the Kissing Queen. You know you’re going to need a fan while reading her books. Then there’s Becky Wade’s “True To You” kissing scene that will never have me looking at a bag of sugar without giggling like a little girl.

      OH MY GOSH, Amy — The Colonel’s Lady is one of my TOP-TEN favorite books in the CBA, and Laura has quite a few in that list! 😉

    Denise Hunter’s couple get locked in a closet in Dancing With Fireflies. It’s a steamy scene but they never actually kiss in the closet! The steamy tension continues to build in the story! Oh yeah, it’s a kissing book For Sure!
    Yes, I agree with Ty and Celia, one of the hottest CF books around! But do you remember the kiss in A Love Like Ours? Jake’s brooding and somewhat cold personality gave way to a very memorable KISS! Amazing!

    CLOSET KISSES!!! Only you, darlin’, would think of a kissing post on that, but then you’re good friends with the Queen of Closet Kisses (Pep!), so it looks like she’s rubbing off on you, girl!! 😉

    I am sitting outside reading this because this post is TOOO HOT to read inside!! LOVE IT!!

    As far as favorite “closet-style” kisses, I would have to see the hollowed-out tree by my dear friend Laura Frantz is a favorite, along with Pepper’s of course!

    But I will have to say some of THE BEST on the planet in my opinion are in Diana Gabaldon’s first book, Outlander. OH. MY. GOODNESS!! Now mind you, Diana Gabaldon is a SECULAR author so I’m giving fair warning to anyone who only reads Christian romance (which is me now, but I read Diana Gabaldon BEFORE I stopped reading secular).

    The kisses are soooooo sexy, but they are between a man and his wife, which fits more into my moral guidelines and they are beautifully written, not graphic although they are VERY sexy, so fair warning.

    Hugs,
    Julie

    I’m going to choose my favorite kissing book from the last few months – Belle by Sarah Price. Besides from being one of my top favorite Amish books from last year, the romance was divine. Since it was a MOC story, the build-up to the first kiss was agonizing and oh so worth it. Sarah Price nailed it!
