The Uniqueness of First Kisses in #Romance Novels

A lovely first kiss from the movie Seven Pounds
Kissing on the mouth is basically two sets of lips smooshed together, sometimes the tongue gets involved. What amazes me about reading a kissing scene, particularly the first kiss, is that no matter how many times I’ve read it described, it always seems new.

Not once have I ever read a kissing scene and said, “Bleh, Debbie Christiana described it like this in Solstice or “This is the exact same kiss from The Chocolate Run by Dorothy Koomson.



No matter how many novels I've read, the description of the first kiss is fresh. Why?

To be honest I don’t think my memory is all that great to remember every single first kiss in the thousands of books I've read.  
But I also think it’s because each book is an individual creation. The characters are all different, the situation is unique, and the interactions are distinct to that couple making the kiss something new altogether.

Have you ever read a kissing scene and remembered it from another book?
