A Kiss is Just a Kiss

The Art of a Memorable Kiss

A kiss can be tender, exciting, awkward, or unexpectedly funny. No two people kiss exactly alike, and even the most confident gentleman may wonder whether he is getting it right.

A Kiss Is Just a Kiss takes a humorous look at the many ways people kiss, from the nervous first kiss to open-mouth and French kissing. With warmth and candor, it explores how timing, attention, and consideration for the other person can turn an uncertain encounter into something worth remembering.

Originally illustrated by the author's sons, this lighthearted guide doesn't reduce romance to a set of technical rules. It invites readers to laugh, learn, and remember that a good kiss begins with paying attention to the person receiving it.
